With all the positive information posted on this site and others about linear array systems, Bose L1, etc..., I am at a loss to why someone would consider a conventional sound system, especially for an arranger keyboard as incredible sounding as a Genos. Just doesn't make good sense to me. Having owned many conventional sound systems in the past, some exceeding 3000 watts, I would never go back to one after using a line array system.

Good luck on whatever you decide upon,

Gary cool




Gary for the same reasons you mention , the "conventional" system has advantages..If you know how to use them smile

Example , setting up in front of a dance floor, that needs the attention, only a conventional system can give.. and a moderate drop off control to tables beyond the dance floor.., where folks want to hear but also talk.. and pleasing the dance crowd on the floor..

Personally I have not found an array system that would make me change from my system.. The stereo factor alone dismisses the array for me..
