Down in Cornwall last week, my other half dragged me along to the
Minack Theatre to see a performance of La Traviata. As it's open air
and has quite a large and very steep auditorium, there's some sound
reinforcement both for singers and for the mini-orchestra, which used
Bose speakers. My word, they're ****poor. Horrible boxy sound. Don't
know why they didn't go for higher quality sound and lower cost and
use Behringer instead. Just reinforced my feeling about Bose, having
heard the PA things that look like black stoves in use at a couple of
gigs. Are they perceived to be good because they're expensive?


**Last time I listened to Bose PA speakers, was at a local ski field.
The voice was clear and intelligible, the speakers were compact and easy
to move and place. All in all, an excellent choice for the job.

Oh, you're talking about music?

Bose are the absolute worst choice for music. Good for speech though.
Singing? Forget it.
