i counted at least 50 funktion one cabs at glade... 
but i agree with Colin... opus is better.
funktion one is incredibly, well, clinical... really clear high frequencies, almost too much razor-sharp high-end.
opus has a more natural sound... they 'breathe' a bit more, and have a more 'organic'-y feel to them.

funktion 1's have pretty much become a standard at the bigger parties here so i cant say im still overwhelmed from their sound but the first time i went to a party that had funktion 1's it was incredible and the sound @ boom last year was fucking amazing as well
i hope ozora will have a great rig too

Although you need to pick just the right spot on the dancefloor to hear and feel how great they are.

Appreciated. Walking up to the dance floor the first time I heard these, the sound didn't get louder it seemed to get fuller, saturating the air with reverberating molecules in a most pleasing audio spectrum, resonating with every fibre and bone in my body.

I realy got no better way to describe the feeling
I have when I listen to music with Function 1.
Took the words out of my mouth.
Now say the magic words: Bleep Bleep Deep Deep Wham..... |

We have a Funktion 1 system at parties in LA sometimes and it is definitely the best speaker system I have ever heard. Incredibly powerful, crisp & clean sound

Funktion One is awesome, no doubt about that, clean sound and visually very appealing , but if you want super quality maybe you should take a look at the Meyer Sound
Won the MIPA in 2009 on the Frankfurt music messe,
and in 2008, and in 2007.
But its just too pricy for a trance event. |

We have Funktion1 at many of our parties in Southern California (psy and not). Our local Psy promoters especially, almost always grab Funktion1 for the bigger parties. Our 'alternative' system is the almost as good sounding Vorbis Turbosound. (made by the same people).
If anything, I'd say out psy parties have the best quality sound that you find at ANY parties here.

Anyone else used/heard/played on a Tom Danley designed system? I've only ever played on a relatively small Danley system (4 SH-50s for tops, 6 LAB Horn subs), but in terms of quality, that rig totally owned anything else I've ever heard/played on/run - funktion1, turbosound, meyer, d&b, jbl, eaw, ev... And apparently the newer, bigger Danley Sound Labs pieaces (the Genesis Horn, and TH-812/221s) are absolutely mental.
Never heard an Opus system though, hopefully will someday soon.
and lets not forget that the person (or people) who set up, tune, and run the system are often at least as important to the quality of the end result as the brand of the gear - I've heard some fairly modest systems sound totally stunning in the hands of a skilled engineer, and some really expensive, big name systems sound like total crap because the people running them didn't know what they were doing.

we have a system almost like that in Colorado.. they like to set up 12 LABs when there's enough space. i love it, the best outdoor sound i've heard. for indoor though, i prefer more compact cabinets.
..it's just another party.. |

I heard the function one and played on it at Boom 2008.
I think it's a good system, better than the average at psyparties I have been.
But I wouldn't say that it is especially good.
I think everybody who has ever heard psytrance through a "D&B" Q.series or J.series or as recently in switzerland trhough a Kling and Freitag "Sequenza" will agree with me that function 1 isn't THAT good. there is so much more possible in clarity and precision, but also in sound distributiuon through the dancefloor. With the d&B or Kling and Freitag systems set up properly you have the perfect sound EVERYWHERE on the dancefloor.. something that the function 1 is very far from achieving...
Anyways, I'm happy to see a function 1 at parties, even though there are much better systems around, because function 1 is better than average.

Any of you here connected to official dealerships? We want to suggest the F1 concept to some clubs in India.
