I own the Z-5500, and I wouldn't think of taking it out on a gig unless my main speakers failed.
Look at the speakers. They're made of thin plastic. There are five of them. They got a lot of thin wires sticking out of them.
Whether it said Bose or Rolls Royce, the Z-5500 looks like a home audio system. It doesn't portray professionalism like a powered speakers do.
Also, from my experience, home audio systems do not produce the same volume per watts that a professional powered speaker delivers. My Eon10s were a lot louder than my Logitechs. I can turn up my Logitechs all the way in our small den, and it sounds loud, but not overpowering. If turned up two Eon10s all the way in my den, it would be uncomfortably loud.

, whether it be based on looks, size, color etc. ....but...
A number of folks have resolved the wire issue by converting to 1/4" plugs and wrapping the wires in a 'harness'.
Do the latest Bose speaker systems look less professional than big box speakers just because they are
small ?!?!?
I thought speakers were judged on their sound, NOT their looks - except perhaps if you are playing in rock clubs, where I guess the SIZE of the speakers matter to the audience ...
I don't know about volume per watts, and no doubt some other speakers are louder, but I know I wouldn't turn up my 5500s all the way in my house for fear of shattering a window, not to mention the eardrums of the dogs across the street ...
I also know that I am very often complimented on the sound, and I use the 5500s almost exclusively ...
BUT ... that's why they make vanilla, chocolate, and all the rest ...
