It was a TRUE A/B test. Summed line out from S-970 to:
1) Bose Compact.
2) Maui 5.
No pre-amp. No mixer. KB vol set at high noon.

Maui required almost full bore to equal the Bose at 10 o'clock.

I didn't try stereo A/B even though I have a pair of each. My need for two on any job is minimal.

I'm luvin' the Maui for the smaller jobs. But, it (they, I have a pair) doesn't cut it in large venue or big crowd situation.
