Polk Speakers vs Bose Speakers?

..........

Answer
Polk is a real speaker company, Bose is not.

Bose is more like those cheap, $100 home theater in a box (HTiB) systems you see at even the cheapest store. Small, plastic speaker housings combined with the weird wannabe receivers...lame.

Bose has a good marketing team, they target the stupid, uninformed and old. Skim through late night TV asnd you'll see Bose commercials everywhere, along with Sunday morning (targeting church go'ers).

Bose doesn't even publish real speaker specs like real speakers companies do:

Frequency response
Sensitivty
etc.
etc.

These cheap Polks ($50 each) sound better than any Bose speakers out there:

Church band: How many speakers for audience?

Chris $-Ma

I lead a band for a (Hispanic) church of about 80-100 people, but we are in an auditorium of a church that sits about 350. How many speakers -- for the auditorium -- should we have hooked up if we want everyone coming through the sound system? Bass could maybe come through separately. Here's what we have instrumentally:

-- 1 acoustic guitar
-- 1 elec guitar
-- 1 bass
-- 1 grand piano
-- 1 keyboard / synth
-- 1 drumset
-- 5 vocalists or so

Answer
Chris - I am a paid church sound guy and I run sound for a similar sized worship team once a week (for around 20 years).

As the other person said, two speakers for the audience will work just fine. You probably do not need to mic the drums because they are probably plenty loud already. I agree with the other answer as far as the bass goes too. Usually the bass amp is loud enough on it's own.

If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me - I am always glad to help out another church. I live in the state of CT, USA. I would even be willing to come to the church if you are not too far.
