Fran...
Just curious. The place you mention above sounds very big. I'm guessing a commercial bar similar to ones I was familiar with in Sommers Point and Wildwood - wear I played while in college. What is the predominant age group at the above venue?
While I can't imagine the gear you are using would add anything for the audiences I play, and in fact, could even turn them off, I concede that the Bose (and maybe the Logitec Z's) does not pump out the bottom end that is almost mandatory at some of the venues that cater to younger crowds than I play to.
Even if I was younger and could wrestle the additional weight, the performing space that I am given has diminished where there is hardly room for a conventional setup.
But, I am interested in your description of the venue and the age group that patronizes it.
