Thank you gentlemen

I put the sgl Podium behind me on the last job tonight and it gagged me. There seems to be a big void in the overall instrument balance, almost like listening through a vacuum. The only thing that was acceptable were the guitars (Everly Bros stuff, etc), but the pianos, drums and all else seemed shrill and run together. I really hated the way I sounded tonight....

Now Cass and Gary, you are correct, there is a huge difference in quality vs Bose and the 45 days will tell the story. I'm willing to give it a shot. And Gary, I can get my stereo kicks from the PA800 speakers I truly believe the audience really would never know.

Ian, would love to have a stereo Compact system, but my objective is to keep the load light and quick.

Tony, sorry to confuse you even more Let me know what you decide!

Diki, you're way over my head - speak English please

Mac - 2 Bose systems and I'll be waking up from YOUR couch for morning therapy.
