Yes, Bill, I meant what I said ...the sound of one Bose is boring...one dimensional...perhaps it is a fine sound for performers who aren't concerned about sounding at their best...perhaps not.
All I know is my S900 and Tyros3 sound much better with two systems.
Just because the Bose sounds boring to me, doesn't mean I deserve a veiled insult(I would have thought you were better than that) but apart from that, I really can't comment on the level of excitement my own playing generates, but it certainly has been paying the bills rather well these past 43 years, so I must be doing something right.

ian -No insult intended whatsoever...not at all. Take it for what its worth from a peer who has also made a very nice living doing nothing but music. How can the bose sound so clear/clean/powerful for me using a yamaha board like you and generate consistent praise & compliments? Are the people I'm performing for in the Dayton/Cincy/Cbus markets different from your audiences? Probably not...
Your comment that maybe one L1 is fine for performers who aren't concerned about sounding their best is just childish. I meant you no insult...(...and I KNOW you're better than that!)
If you're around...hell, if anyone is around Dayton-give me a holler and come with for a day and listen. If you put the time into learning how to operate the equipment properly, if you take some time for trial and error with different settings, eq's, etc. one L1 sounds incredible...that's not just me saying it, its dozens of people in my audiences since mid December. These people have no product loyalty and could give a flying you-know-what about what PA I drag in on my cart for their gig...
You're happiest working with two L1's and that's great...seriously...But you shouldn't dismiss the vast majority of L1 owners who per Bose instructions, use only one system. And are delighted with the results...
Again, no insults intended, my apologies since you took it that way...I'm more of a direct guy, it won't be a cheap shot.
Cheers,
