Last night, I played a restaurant/bar venue, which is separated by a long wall with an open, sliding 8-foot door. There is a relatively wide window between the two rooms, so I can see, at least partially, the folks in the bar while playing in the restaurant side of the venue. Using a single Bose L1 Compact, I kept the dance floor packed in the restaurant, a room that measures approximately 80 X 20 feet. While performing Unchained Melody, the last song I did for the evening, I happened to notice that there were a half-dozen couples in the bar, dancing. When I finished, two people from the bar side of the venue came in and put money in my tip box, and told me they loved the music. I love those kind of complements - especially from relatively young ladies.

I'm just wondering if a pair of Bose Compacts would suffice for the church jobs. Having never played a church venue, I have no experience with the acoustic problems involved, but I can only imagine the sound must bounce around like a ping-pong ball from those hard surfaces.

Good Luck,

Gary
