First real test is this Sunday...in a hall that holds about 200 folks. Very active room...wooden floors etc.

We practiced in a larger room with the DXR15 last night. My wife, who is not normally too demonstrative...went wow! She loved the way her voice and the keyboard sounded. And it was very easy for the two of us to hear each other.

We won't be dumping the Compacts anytime soon. But the DXR15 really brought home how much bigger the sound can be.

Many of our gigs are just 15 to 25 people in smaller rooms. The small footprint of the Compact is hard to beat there. However, I think I'll be trying to decide each time if I shouldn't take the DXR15 instead, even in smaller gigs.

A year from now, I'll probably have a better feel for it all.

Take care.
