After leaving this Forum this morning, I happened to check in on the Ketron Forum. Noticed that one of the members there recently posted the following about his experience with the new Bose system.

Hi Joel,
I've done away with my Roland digital mixer, Digitech harmoniser, 4
12" EV amplified 350 watt active speakers, 1 12" 300 watt EV sub. I've
replaced them all with the SD 1Plus's built in mixer and harmonizer. You have
to try the the new Bose Radiator sound system. I got the system with two
subs that stack on top of each other. The base for the two long speakers that
bayonet into each other support the tall 4" by 6' section of speakers. The
base also houses all of the electronics and built in amp. Also it comes with a
two channel small footprint mixer that sits neatly on the SD 1 plus. I
plug the L out of the SD 1 to the L in of the Bose, the R out of the SD 1 to
the R in of the Bose, connect one cable from the sub to the Bose, and another
cable connecting the two subs together. Plug in the Bose power cable in and
turn it on that is all. Set up time is 5 minutes.
The sound has blown away my 5 EV speakers.
Also, the weight of the subs is about 25 lbs each, the base is about
30 lbs. and the two tall towerspeakers weigh about 18 lbs each. It comes
with carrying bag.
I paid about $2200.00 for the tower with two subs.
