Gary,

There are midi files of my music on SVP World as well as YPKO, most with MP3, some done on the S900, and some on my old 3k(which I still have) and these were made using my "work" set-ups for panning...you visit there quite often...have a listen...play one through your L1...listen to how badly it handles the stereo piano...remember, I do all instrumental music, and the piano is a sound I use very often .

I am more than content with my system's performance in stereo...speakers are 8 feet apart for my usual setup, and I always fire off a midi file to do a sound check whilst walking around the room...it sounds great...I would never go back to mono.

Gary, and I should preface this by saying I mean this with the utmost respect, perhaps we hear things differently? Is your hearing equally the same for both ears, or do you have any kind of hearing impairment that may make things sound different?

I thought you mentioned (on another forum)that you had hearing issues...maybe that might make a difference in your perception?

Just a thought.

Again, I must stress, that I do not pan my instruments hard left or right, and in my musical situations, stereo has a much better sound than mono.

Gary, believe me, I tried the Bose L1 more than once, and for extended periods each time, and if it would have done for me what several people claim it does, I would have one...no kidding.

I thought the concept was promising, but unfortunately, to get it to sound remotely close to the stereo system I am using, I would need to buy two of them...much too much money for me....and way too much set-up hassles.

I'll be stickin' with stereo, thank you very much.

All the best,

Ian
