I had an opportunity to try the BA330 when it first became available to a local music store. The falloff was horrendous, and after checking the specs I discovered that it was just a 5-watt amp, with 30-watts of peak power, but the peak was in a very narrow bandwith. Look at the specifications: DC 12 V: Dry Battery (LR6 (AA) type) x 8 or AC Adaptor, 410 mA. Do the math! Wattage calculator That's just 4.92-watts. I'll stick with the Bose L1 Compact(s). And, my setup time is less than 10 minutes, and that's if I'm taking my time. If I'm in a hurry, setup is just 7 minutes at most. For the larger jobs, up to 250 or more in the audience, I use a pair of Bose L1 Compacts. The sound is incredible and the audiences love it as much as I do. Cheers, Gary

Cheers, Gary Gary, your math still doesn't add up correctly  You told me the battery life wouldn't last a minute..every time I use it for more than 10 hours...I smile at your expert calculations..  I have done large rooms you would dream about with just a BA330..

The BA330's versatility is amazing...it's like a KB players "Swiss Army Knife"......last nights big gig I put it up on a pole & coupled it with my Powered Mackie as a Sub monitor on the floor also with great results. It has good EFX also. 
...If it were up to me I'd bring my Two powered Mackies everywhere like I do on Big gigs and for Dj'ing also which I love. ...but for a 1hr gig it ain't practical when you gotta get in & out fast!
