Not to knock your decision to buy a set of the Bose, I'm sure they are high quality. But as you said "right situationa and room size" which means small. I personaaly would be much happier bringing one JBL Eon with its small footprint and power then having to shelp and set up two speakers stands, two speakers, more cables etc. Especially in tight situations where set up space is very limited. Not to mention NH where people wander all over and could trip on the stands or grab one like its a walking aid. As its well known across America "I hate speaker stands " LOL
One more plus for the JBL. Just did another outdoor event in OLd Town Bluffton for their "Art Walk" Set up o a porch about 30 feet from the street with one JBL. Covered the street up and down for a block each way and got lots of compliments on my playing.. And i did finish the last hour with some upbeat- AKA- louder tunes.
Best PA I ever owned.
