There will be people who are made very happy by the Bose PA, and I wouldn't laugh at them even though it is resoundingly not my sort of sound system.

In my type of work, which is restaurant music, I don't want my system to fill the room...only a portion...people who want to listen will sit closer, those who prefer more quiet and less music for their dining experience will sit further away.

Also it is not stereo...and I want stereo.

Unless I change the type of venue I work in, and unless they make a stereo system, the Bose will never be a consideration for me.
