Donny, I had a 20 inch sub woofer that weighed under 5 pounds, but that was back in 1973. It went down to frequencies far below the human hearing range. You really don't need heavy to have those low frequency sounds. And, it was powered with just 100 watts. It was awesome.

Interesting...hadn’t seen this thread in a while. My reason for Bose S1 = weak hip = 15lbs.

Jim, I will continue to use two S1’s for coverage. My comment about the single S1 had to do with the fact that I couldn’t believe how much sound was coming out of one speaker at such a low setting.

It was also interesting that my cousin had brought his JBL Eon One which is his go to PA. The JBL was way too boomy in that room that had zero sound dampening.

To my way of thinking, there are other PA’s that sound good. I do love my JBL Eon One.

If I wanted two speakers, would I haul two JBL’s at roughly 80lbs not to mention about S1,800 for two or.. spend $1,200 and haul two at 30lbs? No contest for me..at least until I get back into weight lifting at the gym. crazy

Your example is not fair....

Stereo you will hear panning of instruments and different locations within the stereo field.. (this is the ideal sound)..

Mono will combine left and right stereo outputs together... voiding all panning and stereo imaging...(yuk)..

Your example is a stereo signal and you are removing half of the stereo field, only hearing a partial sound... I bet you sure can hear a difference..

A true mono sound you will hear these signals combined... and it will never sound as good as a true stereo..

I have one too. Mostly use it around the house now. It is heavier than most any single piece of gear I have. Besides, on the occasions when I have to move my stuff, I have PEOPLE for that! smile
It was very useful when I played a lot of hotels, clubs, casinos, where I would have to use elevators. Could make one trip.
