I've been using the Bose L1 with one B1 and sometimes with two B1's, depending on the space needed to fill, since Dec., 2003. I started with the Classic and moved on to the Model 1 since. I will say that it was worth the investment just for the Bose support. I had a couple of problems, and a tech did trouble shooting sessions over the phone with me. In the cases that I was unable to remedy the problems with the tech's help, I had a new system before my next gig - even though the warranty had run out. I just can’t say enough about the Bose support.
In addition, I use the Barbetta SE32 for one of my restaurant gigs because of the layout of the restaurant. The 32 has very little side diffusion and since I have a long narrow shot, it works nicely. I use the Barbetta Sona 31 for another little restaurant. I have on occasion chained the 32 and 31 but never with the Bose. Sounds interesting, but I was reluctant to try it because I thought that the Bose out was too ‘hot’ for a direct line into the Barbettas.
Glenn, are you just hooking up direct with no problems?
