My dog runs downstairs to the farthest corner of the house when I use my Fishman Mini as a PA. Its piezo must really be out of control. I noticed when a restaurant recorded our trio one night, there was a high freq artifact on the recording that was wayy high pitch. At least the Artist has a control to roll off the piezo.
That said, the Mini sounds better to me than an Alto Trouper, which has muddy lower mids and inadequate lows below 100Hz. Honestly.
I demoed a cheap Behringer powered speaker with a horn and a 15 inch woofer and that had a hyped but..." Holy eff is that me" kind of rocknrollstar tone. Very open and deeeep in the bass.
I will say that buying PA stuff is difficult because as soon as you push past entry level budget stuff, the options are endless.
If I didnt have the Mini I would not buy... I would go powered monitor for sure.
