Ironically, I was playing a job yesterday in a relatively small room that had about 30 people in it. The PAS volume was kept fairly low, but loud enough for everyone in the room to get in the groove. Most of the folks there were very elderly, some in their 90s, but a few were in their mid 70s and they immediately got up and began dancing.
What I could not see were individuals in three other adjacent rooms and around the corner in halls that were also enjoying the music. After the 90 minute performance, lots of people from the other rooms came in and complemented on how much they enjoyed the music. Yep, they could hear it almost at the same level as those in the room with me. This is something a conventional sound system cannot come close to matching.
IMO, there is nothing out there that remotely comes close to the PAS. If there is something better, something that weighs less, has better sound distribution, and provides clearer, crisper vocal and keyboard sounds, I and many other performers would sure like to know about it.
Scott, the phase cancellation you keep harping about is not a problem, and was addressed months ago. The same is true for those who felt the necessity for stereo--it's not an issue and never was, especially for those of us who perform in large venues for large audiences.
Donny, you gotta stop drinkin' that stuff! Switch to Kickapoo Joy Juice, or better yet Green Bananna Margarettas. Oh Yeah!
Cheers,
Gary
