Steve,

Setting up in stereo--that is, using two PAS--is certainly an option, 
but since each Bose PAS disperses sound 180 degrees, the spread may 
be satisfactory in mono in many situations/venues. The PAS will also 
work well in a practice space. As studio monitors they would have 
less value. The point of studio monitors is to give the engineers in 
the booth a general idea of how their work will sound on consumer 
stereos, whereas the Bose PAS is a pro unit geared toward live use, 
which is a totally different animal. Stereo speakers vary in their 
ability to spread a soundstage between and beyond the two source 
speakers, but not all of them that have wide soundstages also have 
depth or good point-source definition, let along tonal accuracy. A 
PA/monitor-type system like the Bose won't necessarily share all of 
the desirable design elements or compromises that apply to home 
audio. They are not meant to reproduce pre-recorded sound.
