I don't think you can think things through until you try stuff. It goes back to what you perceive as the best sound for YOU. I like the Podium 8s (better than the 10s), but I really want quality now. I think the 8s are a bit hollow, else I'd have kept them. Maybe the 150s (I basically traded even for - remember my blown 10s) and a small Mackie sub. The Roland may surprise me and some others' here too.

As much as Bose gets its praise, I could never play with that PA board as a mono unit and never would spring for 2.

Hell, I even considered Cass' cubes he's now selling..............

I'm confused but having fun and so is my audience.

$200 or so is all the experimenting has cost me.

Eventually I'll get it. I sure as hell am keeping the PA800 I got that one right, but not on the 1st try.
