Jim,
Congrats on the PA4X, great keyboard.
Glad you got a chance to try out the Bose S1. There are many other options.
I’m a bit surprised at the volume comments re: S1 as both I and my cousin can rarely run them over about 30% as they get too loud. But we both use them in groups of 50 - 75 folks or less.
Last night, my cousin mentioned on messenger that he ran one Bose S1 in a room of 100 folks and he said he had plenty of headroom. He also runs a pair of JBL 615’s in larger(outside) venues.
Interesting comments.
But there’s a lot of good PA systems out there.
I will definitely give it a try in the store in my region, if possible directly comparing it to a Nano 302 and/or L1 Compact, before making any final assessment.
