Kla4, congrats on your future purchase.
Let me offer two things.
1. The inherent problem with Stereo sounds Summed to Mono have been much discussed, but especially in regard to Yamaha Keyboards as they seem to have an inordinate number of Stereo patches, (let's leave it at that) so I believe you have to be particularly careful with many sounds on those boards, when using any Mono PA.
2. Buy whatever you like, and stick with what pleases you, but if it were me, I would buy one Model II as the dispersion, weight, and performance with Stereo to Mono (especially if you use the Bose T1 mixer with it's many great sounding presets) will be better and give you more options when using a Yamaha Board then a Model 1.
Go back and re-read Gary's post, I was about to say something similar myself, (and have done in other threads) but he beat me to it.
Diki, I rarely reply to you these days because you have proved yourself to me to be an overtly aggressive (and passively aggressive) windbag with long ass posts that have been commented upon negatively (at one time or another) by many Synthzone members - including the owner of this site.
The "issue" with the Yamaha and mono is way over exaggerated. The benefits of an even nearly 180 degree wide dispersion of crystal clear sound far out weigh any supposed sonic deficiencies of the summing of a stereo output. Not to mention a CENTER, ARTIST FOCUSED sound source.
Another issue I have with OMBs and Stereo is I believe it further separates the player from the music source. If one is hearing separate parts from widely spaced speakers it tends to become more "karaoke like" where Stereo mixes are routinely played. Mono always appears to come from the center where the musician actually is. Thats why the Bose Pole placed just behind the artist is effective at focusing the attention TO the artist and not a "drum set 20 feet wide, or a guitar lead seemingly coming from ten feet right of the Artist and a sax "player" ten feet to the left left"
With that kind of disconnect, People will surely will ask "if there is a certain song in that thing" LOL
