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.



** You are joking ?

Behringer is just cheap Chinese ****.

Bose is just expensive ****.


** Then what was your point ?



Just reinforced my feeling about Bose, having
heard the PA things that look like black stoves

** Black stoves ??

Sounds boxy and nasty.


** Looks like a pot belly stove to some.

But not the first model you think of when the Bose name is mentioned.


in use at a couple of
gigs. Are they perceived to be good because they're expensive?


** When you decide to post sensibly, we may get somewhere.

Cos this post looks just like a stupid troll.

It's not a troll at all.


** Yes it is- you want US to discuss you opinions of a usical sound we cannon hear.

The Bose speakers at the Minack are crap.

** Really ?


Perhaps you should listen to some Bose PA speakers and hear how poor
they are.


** I am familiar with the 901s and the 802s.

Neither is a hi-fi speaker and they are overpriced.

But the Bose "pot belly" system is PORTABLE, easily set up and inconspicuous.

Is there a Behringer equivalent?
