My PAS has been on gigs for the last two months and there was favorable (almost unanymous)comments from the git-go.

People DO notice the difference...not only in quality of sound but in dispersion throughout the room. So far, everyone in every room I have used them is in the "sweet spot". No more complaints about being too loud up front and not loud enough in the back.

The Bose PAS offers up to 99 presets on two channels. The presets are an EQ thing designed to enhance different types of instruments, mics and personal preferences. Experimentation is the only way to decide which preset you like best.

Unlike conventional systems there are no seperate controls for effects. You can use a mixer or processor if you feel the need...but I haven't found it to be necessary and, in fact, like the pure, unadulterated sound it puts out.

He hasn't mentioned it here on the forum, but Gary is the only guy I know with a complaint. In spite of his glowing assessment of the PAS he doesn't like having to lift the heaviest part of the system: the 35 lb power base. What a wimp.

I think he is really upset because he bought another van to carry around his gear. Now, with the PAS, he could pack it all into a VW bug.
