The only thing that sounds bad in a Bose PA is a bad input source. If you can't get a good mono sound from your sample, than the sample is at fault, not the system.

Stereo is fluff, and while I LIKE fluff, it's not the end all. Most rooms do NOT benifit from stereo and this is easy to prove. I happen to own a pair so I can utilize stereo when it's going to be effective ....... most times, I just use the single tower.

Remember, my kb puts out 66 watts of stereo power as well, so the Bose is auxilary amplification. Right in MY corner of the stage ..... it's VERY stereo. That's where it ends ..... the crowd loves the new system. It's the best I've ever sounded. Mono OR stereo - is not the issue. I use what's best for each venue.
