Unfortunately, the person that was using the L1 obviously didn't know, or for that matter give a damned, about properly setting up his sound system. Had he read the manual, set things up in advance, adjusted his remote properly and all the other things anyone with a single grain of common sense would have done, the L1 would have sounded just fine.

Another problem, which seemed apparent from the initial post, was the person had when many now refer to as the DJ mentality. Turn it up loud, then if no one gets on the dance floor, turn it up louder, and if that doesn't work, play rap, hip-hop and acid rock while turning up the volume to the point where the venue's windows begin blowing out. Yeah, that'll make it sound good!

As for low and mid range sounds, the Bose L1 provides both with outstanding clarity and incredible quality.

However, I must say that this is not a system for everyone. Some folks need those muddy sounding vocals, crashing distorted highs, and vibratic bass that has been the cornerstone of the conventional audio industry for more than a century. For them, I strongly suggest not even trying the L1 on the Bose 45 day trial. Stick with the Peaveys, and similar conventional systems. This will keep me in the musical entertainment business for a long time to come.

Cheers,

Gary
