I've been reading, but avoiding jumping in here because I don't like whizzing contests, but I gotta throw in 2 cents. My name is Steve and I'm one of those who are stupid and gullible.
About 3 weeks ago Mikey came to one of my gigs and heard the Bose L1. Mikey had always mentioned that the Bose didn't do anything for him and for his outdoor summer concerts on Cape Cod that the PAS probably would not work. I respect his opinion on that and said we use what works best for us. I did not try to sell him on Bose, not in the least bit. After the gig Mikey commented, that what her heard from the Bose L1 blew him away. The gig was in a small to medium size ballroom with 60 to 75 in attendance.
