I always want to hear one test no-one ever does. Take the Bose, take the Roland, take your Podium's, back to back, crank them up until you DO hear distortion, then back off JUST enough to get rid of it. NOW which one is louder, fuller, etc.?
Any speaker system ought to sound pretty good up to a certain point. I just want to know what that certain point is...
If you had 100 20 year olds in a fair size room, would ANY of these things work? Go to a club with a real live band (especially a real drummer) playing. Do ANY of these put out enough to compete?
Diki, that is a terrible concept..the only test that matters is can a system perform full enough for your intended purpose...knowing which one is loudess..means nothing..
BTW: The Podiums are the loudess speakers I have...The Podium 1204's are used with our band in high volume venues..they beat the Yorkvilles...The 802's with a mixer like wise is loud as any 8 inch gets..
The BA330 doesn't match the Podiums volume..what it does..sounds full and warm..The Podiums can be harsh...you know ..like rockers like..PS: NYE gig was a band and real drums,,we used Podium 1204's..

If I have an amp that sounds full and warm with great bass and volume to do the 80-100 person gigs I want it to handle..why would I care if it may not handle 100 rock dancers....who knows maybe it will..
