I had an epiphany I believe in the last week & today I have 5 reasons to move from Conventional Speakers to The BOSE true line array...My Budget is 3K...

1. I want to hear exactly what the audience hears....
I have been playing with my Speakers behind me for the last year, feedback is a small issue, but can rear it's ugly head. I understand the BOSE should not be an issue there.....

2. My footprint on the stage when visiting other houses of worship is currently too big..... I will be playing other houses of Worship more frequently and what I have found is the "home" Church has taken up most if not all of the real estate on stage..From Pianos, guitars monitors, ams & house Speakers, to Chairs, tables etc....Not much room for me...especially in my current set up...I currently have the following on stage with me:

KORG PA 4X------Taylor 812ce 12 fret---Breedlove American C25 SME------Allen & Heath QU 24---2 Harbinger VARI 2115 15" speakers, 1 Harbinger 350 Line Array PA as a monitor, Fishman Loudbox Performer Acoustic Amp.....

3. My Honda CRV Compact SUV is bursting at the seams....I cannot fit all this in without throwing 1 Guitar in the passenger seat...Keep in mind I have stands & Cables as well

The way I figure it if I go to the BOSE with 1 B2 Bass I can lose-2 Harbinger VARI 2115 15" speakers, 1 Harbinger 350 Line Array PA as a monitor, Fishman Loudbox Performer Acoustic Amp.....I will buy the Tone Match but I really like my automated Allen & Heath QU 24 on stage with me. A touch of the button and it remember ALL settings & I have real sliders...(I will buy the TONE MATCH, but use a little differently and try to send it back into my mixer and THEN to the BOSE & probably as a stand alone not quite so much) The reason I will buy the TONE MATCH is I can use it for my Taylor & my Neumann KMS 105

So I am leaning heavily toward this set up as the set up & tear down from this past Sunday was brutal and I had 3 people helping me....

4. I AM a solo performer even though I have a large amount of gear on stage....
Seems the BOSE is geared toward the Solo acoustic artist, but I also play the Arranger & sequence tunes through the PA 4X and play acoustic along with it. I do have my wife sing harmony....My only concern is , I am wondering how my PA 4X will sound & also if 1 B2 is enough to handle the keyboard

5. The sound I heard today was absolutely awesome & the dispersion that this unit has seems to play well for a house of Worship....

That's all I got
