I tried 2 yamaha 10's several years ago and I couldn't get away from them fast enough. I moved to 15's then the L1. The difference from the 10's to the 15's was pretty substantial, I thought...
I think you'd be better served Jim by moving up to at least a ten or a twelve if the make it. The Roland product, I don't think will be the answer...
Hi Bill,
I just cannot understand the need for large speakers in the gigs I play, unless I'm missing something on the overall balance the larger stuff will produce. Perhaps I'm not hearing myself as my audience is and think the 8s are bottom enough for the venue. I am not a big bass fan and really tone it down when I arrange stuff. I had the Mackie 450s for several months and digressed to the small stuff with no compromise in customer satisfaction (as far as I know, that is).
These days, I'm now seeking more quality and clarity than anything else. That's why I'm trying the Mackie approach again and also the Roland digital stereo thingy.....
We should get together and listen to each other. I'd love to hear you with your Bose - a treat it would be.
