One more, Gary. Say for small gigs like I use the 2200 for now... if I were using the 5500, are you saying at the same volume (apparent) level, the sound would be dramatically superior? More clarity or whatever?

Yes. Keep in mind the number of speakers being used and the amount of head-room available with the 5500 in comparison to the 2200 is significant.

I was thinking that it would very interesting to test the 5500 against a Bose PAS. $300 versus $2000. There is no way to know unless you try it but for singer-songwriter dudes like me, people go nuts over that Bose system.

The Bose PAS system is incredible, and in no way would I compare the Z-5500 to a pair of PAS systems--there is no comparison. However, you must keep in mind that you'll shell out $5,000 for a pair of PAS systems v/s less than $300 for the Z-5500. If you have sufficient jobs to warrent the expense, the Bose would be the way to go. If not, the Z-5500 is a good second choice, especially for smaller venues.

I am getting a similar result with my 2200 setup... (room coverage and no monitors required). The speakers are flared on the stand, so they cover the whole room. And I get the benefit of no monitors because the speakers are behind me. I have had no trouble with feedback.

Since I began using quality mics, I've never experienced a problem with feedback.

I figure the Bose is better but I wonder if it's 7 times more better than the 5500. It just might be a helluva secret, these cheesy Logitech systems.

I know this... people comment on how good it sounds. And I certaily don't know what I'm doing.
