My 2cents experience is that really good arrays and speakers, with not larger than s 10" driver, seem to be more "accurate". Larger drivers can get woofy and loose some detail.
I have a Schertler David I play exclusively at home and used a Yamaha DBR10 powered PA on gigs. Earlier on, I would use the Shertler but found I needed a smidge more power. A powered PA, made more sense to me regarding tone and bang for the buck. I also play through a Fishman SA220 in an acoustic duo and it is very accurate and incredibly practical.

Good points. The best and most transparent amplified sound I've experienced has been with a Yamaha Stagepass 600 PA. Wonderfully clear and well rounded tone. My AER, by comparison, is more compressed and tonally modified.
