I don't recommend using Youtube audio to evaluate the audio quality of *anything*.

And certainly one can get good sound from some if not all of the other suggested systems.

PaulH, you really need to get out with BB and your laptop to some music stores where you can demo some of the different sound systems. no amount of written word on any forum is going to be able to replace that for you. FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF BY ACTUAL AUDITION -- then narrow things down.

The Bose system is indeed pricey and there are plenty of PA offerings that can do a great job and not break the bank account. Users have posted in this thread what they are using in actual performances and their happiness with them. Make a list. See if you can find the same systems in local stores or at least an equivalent and take your laptop plus a cable and adaptors that will yield a line level signal and ask the store people to arrange for you to plug in and listen to the various offerings.
