Yesterday, I managed to solve the piano sounds problem by not using the PSR-3000's live grand piano, but instead using the GM grand piano and tuning it the way I wanted it to sound. It tok a bit of work, but it was well worth the effort. Additionally, I find that running the L/R out and the R out into two separate channels on the Bose PAS seems to provide me with a greater depth and quality of sound than just running from the L/R channel alone.
Next, I also changed both my overall EQ settings and mic settings to accommodate the Bose PAS, and now everything sounds great. As I said on the outset, every system is different and must be treated accordingly. Now I have two USER EQ settings saved in the PSR-3000--one for the Bose PAS and one for the Logitech Z-5500 system. Both sound excellent to myself, my spouse, my daughter, and most of all to my audiences.
I believe the important thing to keep in mind that the entire setup is a complete sound system, and each component must be properly tuned to acheive the ultimate performance. This includes everything from the mic right down to the PA's speaker EQs. Everything must be balanced just right, but keep in mind that some of this can change with differences in room configurations, overall venue size, crowd noise, etc. Nothing is written in stone, and there are no global settings with any of this equipment where you can just set it and forget it.
Cheers,

Gary.....nice observations so your now happy with the PAS and will be keeping it as your main sound system now that you've EQ'd for different situations?
