Mike, I know you will love the Bose!
Fran, I took two 802s to the club this week. I used them for a couple of hours, and they sounded really good.
However, they don't project around the room as the Bose does. In certain situations that could be a good thing, and these speakers are truly amazing, especially for the price.
However, I quickly went back to the Bose system.
I now have the original L1, the new Compact, three 802s, one Logitech Z5500, and two Logitech Z2200s. One of the 2200s in on my computer and the 5500 is in the living room with the HDTV. I still keep one in a bag ready for emergencies.
I'm looking forward to auditioning the Compact this afternoon. Dean and I will use it for two NH shows Monday.
