As of now, the string section gets 2-3 AKG 391's which have worked well. Only problem is that this venue has an installed system which is the Bose. The speakers are behind the symphony so GBF is a bit challenging. My thoughts are that figure 8's positioned in such a manner could be of a benefit.

That's some good figuring for the GBF - But who in their right mind put FOH speakers at the back of the stage!?!

Don't know where they got their advice, it does offer challenges.

Any chance of moving the speakers to out in front of the proscenium?

Probably not, their forward seating is within a few feet of the entire rise area. Another problem is that the stage (and room) is very wide. I think if they flew some cabinets it would work out better but there's another hurdle. In spite of what it is, it actually sounds fairly good, just tricky to position things.
