Right on Dennis.

As Gary D and Don M have always said...the system isn't for everyone....and, of course, neither are other brands.

I know it didn't suit my needs as I don't want a system that fills the room...I want the sound to project only a certain distance, which is why I use short throw speakers.

I also want to play in stereo...if my needs were to be those requiring a room filling system, then I would probably look closely at two Bose systems and run in stereo....pricey? Yeah....but, one only needs to buy it once, unlike arrangers.

My system (a pair of Yamaha MS60s)is 15 years old, and when I bought them, they were close to $900 each....but, you get what you pay for, and the Bose is definitely a high-quality system as well.

It would last for many years, and would be a good investment.
