Now if yall are like me, you struggle with this debate on whicn organ sounds the best. Now be honest and careful cause if you REALLY play these "BEASTS",it will not be as easy as you think it will be to answer! God bless, Bishop Lamar Cole

You can't leave out the A100's, also the same as both, just in a different housing. I think I like the A100's bass a little better.

Yes this is true because the frequency is set lower on the A100 than the other two, but the leslie is what brings the organs to life. Bishop Cole

bishop-I learned on an A100 but today I play the C3 and B#. Which do I prefer. Hands down. The Hammond B3 w/147 Leslie. By the way, I'm in the process of adding another Leslie, 147 to my configuration.

a100 is the best bcuz it is a genuine b3 in a different case but its a lot punchier..........

C3 all the way. Mine is hooked up withe the coveted 771 leslie and let me tell you it is a monster. The C3 is only a year old. Electronic amp and everything else........the C3 is the best

The A100 is the best sounding organ that I've ever heard. It's a B3 but it has reverb added to the sound. It sounds soo punchy

Al, have you thought about just adding the 771 leslie? It will do the job of two 147's. Just a thought! Bishop Cole

Joshorgan · « **Reply #12 on:** March 27, 2006, 08:25:17 PM »

The organ I play on at church is actually the New b3 though I just heard that A100s sound really good

My setup at church is a New Hammond Organ B3 with midi capabilities

I have 2 leslies hooked up to it

A Leslie 771 and Leslie 122XB

It sounds very good

Joshorgan · « **Reply #13 on:** March 27, 2006, 08:33:48 PM »

Are yall recording services? Is that why you have them miked? Bishop Cole

no one take offense i am only voicing my opinion but these new suzuki digital hammonds are horrible

Joshorgan · « **Reply #17 on:** March 28, 2006, 07:40:58 AM »

no the church actually only seats about maximum 400. We just like alot of noise. Yes we do record the services. We come on local television. When you mic an organ that actually makes it sound better too.

Big_Al · « **Reply #18 on:** March 28, 2006, 12:25:04 PM »

Bishop-in response to your question, i have not concern'd an 771 series Leslie. Can you give me add'l inforation ?

In addition, should I set-up Leslies on both side of my organ? Or should I put one in the back or across the church? Should I suspend one ?

Yes this true, it will make the organ sound good only if the sound system is great!. Bishop Cole
