Yes exactly, the whole thing about speakers is they sound different to

their ilk make speakers.

Ok.

The job is PA for a church to use in the local hall it meets in. Must be
"put-awayable" (long story) after use. Hall is around, oh, 70 feet by
40, with a pitched ceiling perhaps 40 feet at the apex. Expected
congregation size anything between maybe 20 to 150 depending on the day.

Has to be erectable by people who aren't tall and muscular, which rather
IMO rules out the 'black box on a stick' arrangement.

I'm sure the guy with the Bose (an old-model L1-something or other; he
was a little vague) was on commission. Top-dollar price from him. But he
did bring one, it sounded good, and was virtually immune to feedback
when the wireless mike was near it. But he was too pushy for the one
model for my taste.

The MAUI looks from the reviews I've seen a good alternative to check out.

(We're still thinking about what's needed in the way of mixer and mic's.)


And that's about where I've got to. Constructive thoughts very welcome
please!
