Although this is not a good option for purists, it may be suitable for
for sizable audiences. You might try using a software oscilloscope, one
that takes its inputs from a soundcard. I'd imagine that one could use
a stereo capable soundcard to provide X/Y inputs. Then, given a large
monitor or a video projector, you could have a more adequately sized
display.

There seem to be a couple packages available for Windows and here's one
for Linux: http://xoscope.sourceforge.net/
