I agree completely, squeak...

It's the CONTENT, not the technology. An arranger loaded with as contemporary loops and sounds as say a MotifXS would, IMO, sell FAR better than the MoXS itself, simply because of the easier interface that arrangers have.

But because of the balkanization of keyboard lines, we get the better interface and the dated styles and sounds, and they get the cutting edge stuff but can't control it as easily... NO-ONE WINS!

Give me a MoXS with a T3 front end, I could make some hits on TODAY'S charts!

BTW, before you go overboard about the volatility of today's chart music, you have to understand the the music business is working on revenues that are close to 20% of what they were pre-Napster. There is no money for developing artists, and no way to promote artists the way that it USED to be done (and resulted in long-term hits and careers). And so, just like every other form of communication and commerce in the Internet Age, things move at a MUCH faster pace.

Food for thought...

Hey BBB, and Mike (and Eddie!) thanks for your kind words - much appreciated.

Yes we often put the Bose slightly in front of us, or to the side, or anywhere we like (within reason) when the stage cannot accommodate the "classic position" i.e. when the stage isn't deep enough to put the PA behind us - about 85% of the time.

It doesn't really matter where you put it we've found - as long as it's not very far away, and as long as there is some elevation (say 2-3 feet) because if the Dancefloor is packed, you will have trouble re the sound being absorbed by many bodies if it's not slightly above the crowd.

When you stand in front of the Bose, it's very very special (wrapped in the sound - hearing essentially what the audience hears), when you're behind, it's not as "heavenly", but you can still hear everything pretty clearly, especially vocals - more than any conventional PA we've ever used - no monitor required.

In other words, we're not afraid to place the Bose just about anywhere (within reason) at any gig, at any time.

Never heard it called an "acoustic piano" before....

Gotta' agree! I've positioned it just about everywhere you can (within reason) and the results have always been excellent to outstanding.

Lets stay on topic here shall we?

This act is working...& I give them props big time.


most of you people won't even post your "OWN" songs which speaks volumes & which are probably worse then anything heard here....but you still have the nerve to critique...Hmmmmm?....
