Originally posted by Diki: I've said before many times, Ian... the typical type of gig I do involves being loud and upfront where the dancers and these actually there for the music are, and being a LOT quieter for those that wish to converse (or just order a drink!) or eat in relative peace further back. The Bose actually works AGAINST you in those scenarios, just as a regular PA works against those that want full room even coverage.
Strokes for folks. I understand your point very well, Diki, as I need the same type of speakers for my restaurant gigs...that's why I use the Yamaha MS60S for those scenarios. My plans, starting with the upcoming tourist season that starts in June, will be to do a series of indoor concerts at a local theatre (restored from the 30's)...so I will want the PA to fill the room and give all patrons the same basic listening experience throughout. I will be using a vocalist for some of the gigs, and also a guitarist buddy of mine for a bunch as well...it will fun. The plans got held up a bit by my recent surgery, but they are now back on track again. I have no plans of retiring my Yamaha MS60S and/or my restaurant gigs, but I do want to expand my capabilities and versatility. I can get the Bose at a great price (it pays to have friends in the business) so it won't be a big layout of money, especially compared to the return I will get from it, plus it is a reliable piece from what I have learned in my investigations. If the focus of your gigs ever changes, it comes highly recommended. Ian
