I think Bose probably has a decent reputation among audiophiles, but I hope that they don't honestly believe all of this hype about their new product. They are missing a few key areas of concern, IMO. One is that musician's rarely play well together when it comes to stage volume. What happens when the guitarist decides to crank his PAS up to "11" when the poor keyboardist is still at "5"? And, as much as they would like to be independent of the poor, untalented soundperson, someone has to sit in the audience and keep tabs on everybody. Lastly, is there any difference between cluttering up the mix through the board vs. cluttering up the mix via another speaker onstage? I don't think so.

I'm told PAS goes to "12". Is this a new era for Spinal Tap?


Edit>>>I just actually looked at that "Ad". Haha!

Actually, they don't enjoy a great reputation among audiophiles either.

Yeah - at one of the venues I work at someone several years ago fell for the "bose effect" - "they're advertised so much it must be good, and besides - it's a BOSE!"

I'm now stuck with a god awful Bose sound system, rubbish for any sort of live PA work, and only bearable for recordings....

Oh, I don't think this effect is limited to Bose -- I can think of a certain club in NYC that advertises their Meyer PA system.  It's the worst fucking thing you can possibly imagine.  I'm really surprised Meyer doesn't tell 'em to stop.

I think that BOSE speakers are exelent (Shocked) for home theators/backround music/ect. I do not think they would be good live sound speakers. I have not ever used them, but i just think that they would be rubbish.

I will admit though, i would like to use these monitors/mains to test. I just don't know how it would work??? Confused

Ya, it might be interesting to try PAS in a large Club with mains and no wedges.
