The problem I have with Bose is that the sound is exceptionally bright and clean, which is nice on a general level, but it induces people to turn up the power higher than you ordinarily would. This is especially true because the bass response is less intense than with other speakers. The result, at least for me, is that it tires out my ears more quickly.

Engineering-wise, Bose is great. And if they're run properly, the negatives can be mitigated. But that's really hard to do, and there are trade-offs. If you're happy with them, use them--but learn how they work.

I can tell you, however, that at SCE we use EV exclusively for our own shows. (We have contractors and SCFM operators who use other equipment, however.) And I like them enough that when I build my home system, I'm going to use them.

They actually do sound more on the bright side when not used with the recommended processor thus may leave some undesirable experiences. Lucky for me the processing is built into the A1 Amplifiers.

The problem I had with Bose was all the singer's telling me how wonderful they sounded, both when listening to other singer's and to theirselves when they sang on them. It was a continual problem, but I learned to accept it.
Also the problem of the ease of transport, lifting and setup...a problem that I also learned to live with.
Yes they were expensive. I use a L1M1 with a T1 Tonematch, 2 B1 Subs, an A1 Packlite Amp with a B2 Sub and as a monitor speaker I use a L1 Compact on an angled stand.(I do not use the extensions with the Compact) Again, Yes they were expensive....but my back is eternally grateful, so again, I have learned to accept the problems I described above.

Anyway, When it comes to karaoke software do keep in mind you do not have to have just one software.
Install as many karaoke software on the same computer.

I haven't had any issues having multiple karaoke players running at the same time.

Winamp w/CDG and Pacemaker plugin + karaoke builder player 3.0 + Karafun + RoxBox DJPro all run perfectly without issues sharing the same song database.

The only karaoke softwares that can not run together are the KIOSK full screen style programs such as SHCK Self Hosting karaoke and Grahams Karaoke Kiosk Player.

Karma + MTU Hoster + Singlos + KJams also work well together.

For MAC users LYRYX + KJAMS also work well together.

Don't just settle for one software when you can enjoy them all.

Why?

Backup silly... that's why.

It's the computer that fails NOT the program....... silly...... or don't you know that?

OMG! all this time you guys are complaining about Karafun crashes, karma crashes, software crashes... hello is anybody home?

Seriously it doesn't cause any harm to have a couple different players on your PC for Backup purposes.

I guess you forgot all the posts I have made about "perfection" with Karma. See here: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=27974&hilit=perfection+karma

On June 2013 I wrote

I am still flawless. How about you?

My software has never crashed. My computer itself failed (motherboard once, main system hard drive 2nd time) in which my backup computer has the same software. Multiple softwares wouldn't have helped in either case.

if you use real pro software instead of Karafun, no crashes.
Siglos....no backup software needed.
