A few times a year I sit in for a friend of mine who has a steady gig on an upscale Italian restaurant ... he has the BOSE L1 permanently set up there along with his mixer, x stand, etc., so when I play there I only have to bring my KB and mic ... I've always thought the BOSE sounded very good ...
About two months ago I filled in for him and he needed the BOSE for another gig, so I used my Podium 10's ... He called me this week to ask if I could fill in a date in February and he said that the STAFF told him they thought I had a better sound with MY PA system ... now, I know the staff doesn't know one PA from another, but I found it very interesting that they would make that comment ...
