Re: Another powered speaker comparison




Reviews have probably only focused on the BOSE stick thingy or others like them I'm sure.  My typical gig is an electric 3 - 5 pcs bass drums keys guitar etc. and  we have a wide dynamic range.  The important part to any system is having subs and with the stick types it's mandatory.  They take some getting used to because your ear is used to hearing a speaker blast forward when you're the singer and these stick thingys have more of an omnipresent sound that seems weak at first but in reality the vocals are distributed everywhere at a pleasing non abrasive level.  For any gig that a single powered top and sub combo would be used on I would rather use one of the newer hi-powered stick and sub combos.  The only ones I've heard are the BOSE and Ramsdell.  The BOSE are thin and anemic even with multiples and the matching koolaid subs.  I would like to hear the Renkus-Heinz and compare them to the Ramsdell - in fact it would be great to have a little stick speaker review here.
