The Bose L1 will fill a football field with the same clarity at each end of the goal lines! Some users with reduced hearing, or more "youthful" perceptions of what the "correct" ammount of bass is, find the Bose to be a little light in the bass response. Many disagree.
I find that it comepletely satisfyies the broadest range of audiences, fills EVERY little corner of every room I play in, and sets up fast, looks amazing, and takes up far less room than anything in it's class. Actually, because of the very nature of it's performance - there is NOTHING in it's class. It's a newer, better approach to live sound reinforcement.

My only recommendation is this:
If your audience is 25 and under, you may want to augment the bass section, because that age group is used to obscene ammounts of bass that rattle walls and craniums. I prefer a more balanced sound, but hey - KIDS ! What can ya do?

The L1 makes a beautiful, balanced sound, but some kids just can't dance unless their stomachs are rumbling. Go figure. I can't dance, so I don't understand the concept, but I've played for dancers since 1969 - and this system packs the floor more than any I've ever owned.
