I play in a bunch of different size bands, ranging from a duet to a 7 piece.

As the band expands I add more L1s.

So far, for ease of use and overall sound quality, I love the Bose, I do sometimes miss the impact sound of convential speakers.

As for the price, if you were to use a convential set-up you have to remember, monitors, extra speakers, set-up time, eq'ing.

I know it's not for everyone but it has saved me so much set-up time, and the compliments are always there,

" the music sounded so nice, it wasn't too loud, I enjoyed being able to talk at my table and still hear the music"
