Thanks for the comments all. Guess at my age I should stop chasing about anything...run out of breath...and money.

Thanks for the comments.
I'm probably going to sit tight for a while and see if I can find a good used DXR 12 and save a few.
I still like the Bose Compacts..don't get me wrong. I just seem to get a fuller sound with the DXR12. One person suggested I use the compacts and then daisy chain the DXR12 as a sub. We'll see.
Next, I have to do some looking at a mixer. Going to need at least 8 channels...so I'm looking at the Mackie ProFX12..but that's another story.
Thanks again.
