Line array speakers, like the Bose, aren't your typical cabinet on a stick system...the stereo sweet spot is exceptionally enhanced, and make it all worthwhile.

Stay with boring old mono, if it helps with your confidence (so, none of the above suggestions actually helped you?), but if you really want to improve your sound (and who doesn't?), in the venues that allow for stereo sound, you best be going with two Bose systems.

Otherwise, you're still living in the past....works for some I guess.

You miss the point...Boring mono does not HELP with confidence. Stereo does not help with confidence. Confidence has NOTHING to do with mono or stereo. If it did I would have been in deep shyte when I started playing larger venues. It's because I played in those situations I don;t have a preference today not despite playing in those venues.

I like stereo. I like listening in stereo. I love surround on the home theater, I just don;t think its worth the extra cash or even the extra 15 minutes of set up to play every small gig in stereo. It's a PERSONAL decision, not a universal rule. Confidence is something generated by my preparation for the show, not the sound system. I had better be at maximum confidence before I even sing the first note or I'm in trouble and another tower won't fix that....
