I really like both. Now I've not gigged with the Maui5 only rehearsed with it, it's a bit smaller in size - it has a couple of combo jacks, bluetooth and mp3 in. Really you need a mixer with at least reverb if you are going to put vocals through it.
I think it would be ok for small gigs, just you. Sound quality is excellent, and the sub rounds it off.
You need a bit of distance between you and it otherwise it sounds really, really odd. I never, ever have it directly behind me if it's going to be close. Sound spread is good.
The 28 offers a bit more spread, a bit more headroom and is good enough for a duo, trio, vocal PA for small band. It's worth the extra £'s imo. I do solo gigs, gigs with backing tracks (I use an amp for the electric guitar in these cases) and my country trio gigs (2 vocal, 1 acoustic in the PA, snare and electric not in the PA)
In bigger bands, we have used both for monitor systems and it's been good.
One thing, they don't pack down as small as the Bose. I bought the carry bags and that was worth it.
Other than that it looks like a good setup?
The Maui is just an amp. So whilst you can plug your vocals and guitar into it, it will be dry.
So for my backing track stuff, I bluetooth the backing tracks direct to the Maui.
Guitar and vocals into the Mackie - Mackie into the Maui.
I just looked at the Maui website again and the 5 is more compact that then 28, it breaks into 3 parts.
Sorry for dumb questions, I’m a PA numpty I’m afraid.
Tbanks for your help pal.
