what kind of mixer do you use

[Monolithent]

Just keeping this going.

Behringer 1222FX mixer and behringer EP 2500 amp to Peavey SP-5 speakers.

Tweaked right provides sound that I will put up against any similar equipment of any brand.

Went from Yamaha mg12fx, ev 300 speakers QSC2450 Amp. w/ the normal sound processors, to two Bose L2 systems. I only received raves about my sound before, but, am always looking for better. These Bose Systems provide the best sound i have heard at the club-lounge scene in my thirty years of music.

I have heard the Bose and love it when it is run by someone who understands a sound system. I have heard it used by people with no system knowledge and it is horrible.

I test drove one a few years back. For how I run it wasn't my best choice so I went back to the twin full ranges that I used.

I agree. It took a while because i didn't want to change the sound i had. I think i know sound management, but i still had to "go to school" to get the kind of sound i wanted using the Tone 1 engines, but, it is an improvement over the standard system, plus at less than 55lbs per system, a lot easier to handle when one has to setup multiple times a week.

in my opinion Bose is good for playbacks.sound is excellent.but for playbacks and vocals i still go with mackie..just an opinion..

Each has his own favorites, but, in my opinion, Mackie is Just okay. They have gotten away from what they used to do well. Bose is USB loaded and sound can be set and reloaded. Effects work very well in any application. As with any system, you have to "learn" the best settings. As for vocals, I have never seen a Mackie system yet that sounded better than the Bose, when both are setup to their max.
again, just an opinion, and, we all have one

The Bose sounds pretty good in smaller clubs, I tested a system in mine 2 sticks & 2 subs & the sound wasn't loud enough to get over the crowd noise and I am pretty knowledgeable in sound engineering & i'm not going to spend $4-5K on a speaker system when I have a perfectly fine PA. They worked awesome as a monitor system when I put the sticks on stage behind the singer & took out my 2 front wedges - which is what they are really designed for hence the original name of PAS (Personal Amplification System), but again, it's pretty pricey for a karaoke monitor so I brought them back. They aren't designed to be a PA system for the most part, not to say they can't be.
