From all I have been able to deduce these systems do sound excellent and are a lot easier to both transport and set-up/knock-down.
Can you let me know how you think they sound using your T3 for example? Point of the question being when using styles/smf's do they sound more like a home stereo system (in mono of course) or do they really "cut-it" as a viable PA?
More for ambient "cafe" style music or solid R+R/Pop?
I know they're difficult questions, (like how long is a piece of string!!) but with you experience I think you will know where I am coming from with it.
Thanks

Jerry claims he gets the "chest Thump" with two of the Bass modules. I don't see the system delivering anywhere near what 600 watts each into a pair of 18" Yamaha Subs.
The Tyros sounds like a very Loud and quality HiFi System. Stereo is not an issue, The benifits of the system inclusing the sound, transport, and set up far outweigh the lack of stereo in the venue. No one has asked my wife who primarily uses the system why the sound is not in "stereo". People are actually surprised at how good and even it sounds no matter where they are sitting or moving in the room.
I don;t expect a stereo mix when I see a live band in a big venue, In fact I would hate it if I was not sitting in an area of equal distance to both sides.
The Bose System in my opinion is more than adequate as a viable PA System in fact it sounds better than many conventional systems in clarity and especially in consistency throughout the venue.
Read the Bose forums. You will read many examples of those systems being used in large venues, outdoors and by individual band members. They get scooped up quickly ion Ebay for not very much off list price therefore you really don;t have but maybe $700 invested in a $3000 system. The rest you can get back easily if you wanted to sell the system. Can't say the same for a conventional system that is much more difficult to sell.
They can be used for both Ambient sound and Rock/Pop. We have never turned the system up past 50% indoors or out. Bose USA offers a generous 45 days to decide to keep it.
That says a lot about what Bose thinks your decision will be.
Bottom line. Very few are disappointed. Those who are may not know how to properly set the system up using the Tone Match. Others are stuck in "Stereo." I would buy another if I though it would make that much difference to have a stereo mix. Two systems don't take up much more room in the back seat than one....But it really won;t make much difference and would be a waste of money. One system is enough for any venue a Single or Duo would ever need. Unless they are Simon and Garfunkle.
