My band has started using 2 Bose L1 II systems to replace our conventional PA system. It really is an amazing system and works even for a classic rock band that does play at a reasonable volume level. We mainly run vocals and Roland electronic VDrum kit through the PA but we found we could even mix in a little of the guitars to get a nice wide sound field. Even having the 2 columns out front of the band and using conventional monitor speakers we still notice the difference in the sound on stage.
The only thing we had to add to the system was to use our existing large JBL subwoofer. But you gotta realise I do play in a gritty classic rock band which is certainly well above lounge music volume levels. And the electronic kick drum does require some serious speakers to pump up an electric guitar band in a bar.

Nigel wouldnt 3 or 4 matching Bose Subs take care of your needs on stage vs the JBL?
