Well I did my first gig with the Bose last weekend and WOW! Nothing but compliments from our regulars on the sound. The bar tender said she could hear us perfectly and still be able to talk to people and to take drink orders. Seemed no matter where people were sitting, the sound was even. The guitar sounded more acoustic than with the old system, so much that I need to re-do some of my pre-recored loops. Very happy with the unit.
