Curious, Donny... do you HAVE a stereo Bose system? I thought you had just the one.

Those that DO have a stereo Bose system haven't remarked anything negative about the stereo imaging, and to be fair, one doesn't really expect much accurate imaging beyond maybe 20-30 feet out from the system (at the back of the room, most stereos sound about the same as a mono system). But this is where your dancers are, where those that are paying the MOST attention to what you sound like are. Giving them a spread out sound helps preserve the illusion of reality...

After all, as arranger players, illusion is ALL we are about. No real drummer, bassist, guitars, strings, what have you. But we work hard and spend LOTS of money to sound like they are real. Why compromise that by using a PA that sounds like they were all piled up in one spot?
