Russ-

I've run the gamut in what to bring on my solo jobs.

Ten years ago when I was only using a Yamaha P-200 digital piano and a Yammy MU 15 tone generator for backing strings/vibes/etc. I ran it all through my P200. Then I expanded to two 12's and a 6 channel box mixer with effects. It sounded much better of course. Then the Tyros 1 came along and my world got suddenly sunny, lol...

I tried to do some smaller gigs with the on board speakers/sub Yamaha sold for the t1, I don't much care for it-Only use that set up, 2-3 times a years, if that...

Then I went up to two 15's and really loved the sound. I got so many compliments on that sound after adding the 15's that I stayed with that for 4-5 years.

Recently I switched to the Bose L1, and the Bose tone engine for a mixer.

I'm getting even more compliments now than ever before.

Its not for everyone, but the Bose sounds as good as anything I've ever used, probably better in terms of clarity...

I've always sacrificed weight and trips to the car for sound quality. I have the pains in my back to prove it, lol...

Bottom line-I take what I need to sound very, very good-the best I can. Part of my success in this business is that I'm told I sound better than anyone else around this area...

Not sure if that's true, because I rarely hear anyone else, lol...

Cheers-
