Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | $600 to $700 is a great price range, and if you're willing to consider the previously owned market, that'll get you into some pro level gear. The AAD Cub is a terrific amp, but it isn't perfect. You'll need outboard effects if that is important to you, and after having used an ADD Cub twice a week for the past year, I finally switched back to a Genz Shen Jr. because, as a powered stage monitor, it provides less feedback issues at volume for the range of guitars in the rotation and within the confines of the signal chain, the band's location vis-a-vis the house speaker system, volume of the other instruments and vocals, etc. in your price range, you could move up to a Genz Acoustic Pro. |

If Beal is impressed it has to sound good. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | What did you get? I just heard the Bose L1 with the 2 woofers outside last night. It sounded great. The only problem was it was in a gazebo and the upper speakers were a bit covered by the roof. Excellent system. Crystal clear even with a Taylor 314 with the expression system. I should have brought one of my Os, but I didn't know it was going to be there. |
