New EV Evolve Speakers Coming....

I will respectfully disagree.

I had the systems side by side and the Bose system was much better low end than the Evolve 50.

The MAIN reason that I got rid of my Evolve 50's were because I was concerned about my hearing. The Evolves let a TON of sound escape out the back of the column. TOO much. I would go home with ringing of the ears, etc. Look at the reviews. That is one of the biggest complaints.
My experience was different.

I certainly understand. This was part of a shoot out and the EV didn't do well, for the reasons I mentioned. Two dedicated tens will move more air than a single twelve, which is also responsible for all of the mids.

That might be a mathematical truth but the sound from 2 x 10s is not as pleasing, IMnotsoHO, as a single 12...and 99% of the time, I use at least 2 x 15's for low end and the majority of the time I deploy 2 x 18s.

YMMV.

To who? Another dj maybe. I have learned that the crowd simply wants quality sound. And they certainly don't want booming 18" woofers.

I used to carry 18", dual 18's, dual 15's... For my weddings, less is more. So, two 10's (actually four 10's) work perfectly.

It's all about your crowd and because I am 99.9% weddings, the Bose has MANY advantages over traditional boxes.

To each his own.
 
'To who' is subjective. Another DJ - maybe. A guest - maybe. We don't know as it's not the same for everyone .. and might not be the same for anyone.

A guy I know.

No.

He is a blind, deaf, mute, double amputee ballroom dancer.

I appreciate that your experience may be that most can't configure and properly program a system to eliminate unwanted noise and output...that is unfortunate.

...and neither you nor your audiences will ever know how much better it could have been with a more than less improvement in equipment capacity. To each his own, a/k/a YMMV.

You don't have to drive 120 mph just because your vehicle can...but it's nice to know you could if warranted or necessary.

It's all about your crowd...
At wedding, I perform for audiences, not crowds, but I certainly have and do perform for crowds (most recently this past Monday, as a matter of fact) and appreciate the difference.

My systems and configurations deliver programs that generate compliments and praise...and frequently enough to confirm my practices.

and because I am 99.9% weddings, the Bose has MANY advantages over traditional boxes.
"To each his own"...and everything in its time and place.

To asuage any accusation of prejudice against Bose, I have personally owned and event tested Bose L1 and F1 rigs and I own and use (when appropriate) 2 Bose compacts.

I returned the L1 & F1 rigs.

For personal, potentially small PA use, I am considering a pair of S1s... everything in its time and place.

I think every dj in the world makes this statement.

I prefer the look and the sound of Bose for my weddings. Anything beyond that, I will let you win with your opinion. Just not worth the debate to me.
 
I am certainly glad I do not have to rely on your "think".
I just have to ask, why are you so toxic with everyone you talk with?

You do this all the time, with many posts you are involved with.

I promise, you will pick my post apart, quote me and then reply with your views to prove me (or anyone else) wrong. Everyone has an opinion. You just always have to have the right one.
