I followed Cass' and Donnie's advice this afternoon and set it up (with ext) 3' behind and 8' to my left side. I walked the room with a style playing. It really sounded balanced throughout the room.
I played my hour gig and really liked the sound, as did the audience. There was absolutely no feedback and my voice was crystal clear.
The job was small. I had the Bose at 12:00 and my keys 1/2 way at most. Plenty of volume and one complaint.
Here's my deal: I can imagine (2) units would be extremely nice for every venue I play and the quality would be excellent.
I just cannot get used to ONE unit, mono. There are some changes in my songs, based on instruments, pads, etc that don't come through, as in the stereo setup.
So here's the final decision (yes, it is). Keep the Bose for the allowance period and hopefully get the BA-300 (on order) in to see how this one box stereo unit does.
If the 300 satisfies me, the Bose goes back. If not, the 300 goes back, Bose stays and I go Bosi.
Thanks all for your kind responses.
