"If one is talking RAP and Sub frequency dance music, nothing less than an 18" SUb will do the best job. A Bose System can easily suffice for pop top 40. ballroom or whatever dancing...Especially adding another $300 Sub. "


I have to disagree with you here....

We play 50's thru 70's music..the 60 's and 70's include a lot of "dance music"..that is not rap..

We play outside boardwalk jobs to virtually thousands of people...There is simply no way the Bose system with two or many more subs will compete with the Yorkville system we use...conventional systems like the Yorkvilles are made to feel the thump in your chest...that gets the dancers going...and the shear volume power is there...it also carries several blocks away...

In a controlled environment, yes the Bose perform great, but don't tell me they will ..as Gary says.."blow out the windows"..

BTW: the above scenario has been compared at the boardwalk gig...all the people involved with the project and the local spectators..all confirm..the two sound systems are far apart in the "big" sound department..Even the "Bose" band reluctantly say so...

It is sorta like me saying the 802's can bang with the Yorkvilles in an outdoor venue..


BTW: the cost of the Yorkville system was less than a Bose with 2 subs...

We should really compare apples with oranges when it counts...not necessarily comparing name brands to unknown brands...
