Ed: you certainly haven't been talking to 'my' accountant.

Thanks to ALL for your candid feedback and comments. Interestingly enough, since I've now had a chance to do a few (smaller) gigs with my Tyros2 going out mono to a single PA speaker, and finding the results (surprisingly) pleasing, and pleasurable to my audiences as well, I'm begining to have a change of heart about my past 'gotta go' out stereo attitude. As my act (lounge venue) is mainly acoustic oriented: piano + rhythm section (bass/drums) and vocals with soloing (acoustic instruments), it seems the Bose system will certainly satsify my performance requirements: natural (unhyped). I had hoped the Bose PS1 Basic System (without subwoofer) would be adequate, but it sounds (from your feedback) that that at least one subwoofer (single bass package) is needed. That the case, my accountant says I need a little more time to swallow the 2K required for that system. In the meantime, it would be terrific to see pics of your Bose PS1 PA setup in your respective venues.

btw: Jose, great to see you posting here again. I kinda remember seeing pics of your Bose PAS & keyboard packed in your compact car. Would be great if you could post these kool shots again.
