Some questions for UD when you get a moment:
1. You said you ran a stereo keyboard signal to the Bose - so is it a stereo PA or a mono PA that will accept stereo in's? Do you actually need two "poles" for true stereo?
2. I have seen the publicity pictures of this system in action on the Bose website and they seem to indicate that the "pole" speaker is meant to go behind the performers and thus double as both a monitor and PA system. Have you tried it this way? Was there any feedback problems?
3. Can you tell what kind of speakers are in the "poles"? How much does the pole component and the subwoofer weigh?

1. It is stereo because the "pole" consist of TWO speakers, one mounted on top of the other.
2. I don't have one but saw the demo at GC. They did the demo while having the Sennheiser mic only inches away, pointing at the pole and no feedback! You know, with the conventional speaker, if you stand in front of the speaker, you pretty much block out much of the sound, but the sound was the same to me when I had someone stand directy in front of the speaker (relative to me). But I think Bose somehow designed it to have the "front" everywhere
3. When disassmbled, you will have two halves of the pole (l/r speakers??) and the base. Each half is about 10-12 lbs?? I don't know, I just kind of take it in my hand and it wasn't heavy.
