Why should anyone listen to you?

You know, you're right. I'll sort this thing out myself. Thanks for your caring inspiration.

Zuki.....just return it ..it ain't for you. No big deal...move on & buy something YOU like. There is so much out there.
Good Luck.

Wow, Bill ... what happened .. did you shoot 80 today ?!?!? ... Don beat you again ?!?!? ...

Don't know what SemiLive really meant, but that sure came across as crass. Jim, we should listen to you because you are relaying info from your experiences which is priceless.

My experience with the Compact first time out was I set it almost directly behind me, set the keyboard to about 3 o'clock and the Compact down to about 10. I got terrible sound and plenty of feedback from my mic. I was told to set the Compact further away and set the amp volume louder than the keyboard output. Things were great now. As for placement, I usually set it at least 3 feet behind me and about 6-8 feet to my left. I aim the tower to the center of the back of the room. I get the same sound the crowd is hearing and never feel it's too loud for me. The first time anyone says it's too loud, I'll adjust my settings, but this works for me.

I'm sorry you don't seem to like the Compact as much as many of us do. That's certainly your perogative. As Donny always says, use YOUR ears. We're only here to add some background opinions and suggestions. They wouldn't be making all those other PA's if they weren't good for someone...

Just a suggestion before you give up the Bose entirely.

Jim, you have to try two of them...if you don't like after that, then you've tried it fully, and you can make your decision without any second guesses, and without any wondering.

I didn't like the one Bose Compact...it was only "okay", but we both know the Yamaha does not collapse to mono very well, so my choice was made ahead of time, and I really had no option other than to try two of them.

It made a big difference, and like you, I want stereo sound in my ears, at least.

I haven't bought the Compacts yet...I'm still waiting to see how and where I'll be doing most of my playing...if it's just doing the restaurant thing, I already have a great stereo speaker system for that...two Yamaha MS60S powered monitors.

Good luck with whatever you choose...just don't give up too easily.

I would never put it behind me I have my BC 6-7feet to my right side directly parallel to my ears..set at
12 o'clock...if your KB is EQ'd correctly there should be no problem having a wonderful sound.

Thanks Cass and Donny. No harm from Semi. I can come across as very indecisive and confusing in my love/hate reviews. I give myself a headache too.

I appreciate the help, but I must move to something different. Maybe I'll go back after trying other stuff, but for now, it's not for my type arrangements.

I'm the minority on this one and maybe wrong. I'll report next on the BA-330. For now, back to the 8s

Thanks Ian. For only 5% tops of jobs requiring Bosi, I just have to pass on it.

Zuki maybe instead you need a NEW Yamaha S910 ?
