A bit touchy today arent' we? Mine was an honest question, considering the fact that there aren't any other known issues regarding the PAS which would warrant selling it, are there?

Gar: Yes, it may have been 'addressed' (with new presets: 55, 57, 58), but unfortunately (to my ears) and other people's too, it did't entirely correct the problem. Here's what I noticed. When the Yamaha stereo "GRAND PIANO" is buried in a mix, the problem isn't noticeable, but in exposed piano playing, it still "remains a problem" to my ears! I suppose I could select a non-stereo GM/XG piano sample instead, but the timbre of the "GRAND PIANO" remains my essential choice for 'exposed' acoustic piano playing. One possible solution would be for Bose to add a built in effects processor on the PAS for adding effects to the incoming signal (ie: vocals), or in the case of 'stereo sampled' Yamaha voices, re-apply effects which got eliminated due to the classic 'stereo to mono' phase cancellation phenonomen. I'm first to agree that the Bose is a FANTASTIC sounding system, especially for vocals, but not for stereo sampled instrument voices which rely heavily on stereo efx, not optimal. Somewhere down the road, I too may move to the Bose, but not until this issue is more fully resolved, perhaps with Bose adding an onboard efx unit.
