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.

Also, I really like my DXR10 with my Genos but at 32lbs for just one, 64lbs for two, it’s more weight than my hip is happy with at this time. And in the smaller venues I do, even one DXR10 can be overpowering.

If I was doing a lot of gigs in very large venues, I would think two DXR10’s would work nicely.

By the way, for folks still thinking about trying out the S1, there are 51 reviews now on this site... 4.5+ stars. A number of these folks talk about gigging in venues of 100 or more people.

For sure! Love it. Thanks Johnathan!

Enjoy the KORG Pa4x....KEEP the QSC 10's
you wont be sorry you did, more then enough if your only
playing NH gigs....

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.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I had no luck with the S1s. I did set them up on the dual mount and had a hard time getting them off! Way too snug and would really be a pain, gig after gig.

The bass bottomed out very fast - clipped, just like the Konnect. I know about EQ and adjustments, but it simply will not handle MY load of music and vocals. Talk about shrill? Plenty of highs, but no lows.

So my hunt continues for a pair of powered and I want to use the dual mount (very neat setup).

I was thinking:

EVZXIA
DBR10
K8.2

I really don't want to go dual Maui. Seems a lot of gear. I did not like the HK series, but maybe the others' are better.

Comments appreciated.

How about JBl Eon 208p, the bigger one? Still only 17kg.

The kb weighs more plus your not carrying the rest of the gear....
it's out of car onto a rock-n-roller kart....wheel them in to the venue hook it up done, play, reverse go home...

10s have a $40 rebate 3/31 per speaker. Crazy inexpensive for a pair.

Dbr10’s are a bit lighter at 23 lbs
