I'm still in the business, mostly, of putting a good danceable volume close to the stage, and the owners wanting a quick drop-off further down the room. Other than the general lack of mids (which can be somewhat EQ'd back in if you don't mind losing a bit of headroom), the main thing about Bose's is that even coverage... It's superb if that's what you need, but it can work against you if it ain't.
