Bill, before you go any further about the Bose, have you even tried using two in stereo?
Try them, and then tell me there isn't a marked improvement in the sound...several people here, and on other forums, have tried two of them and found a big jump in sound quality.
I'm sure that you'll agree that we all want to make our sound better...it's a growing process, or otherwise you'd still be using your former PA system.
I disliked the one dimensional sound of one Bose....I tried two, not from anyone's suggestion, but as an experiment, and I found that it was a very big improvement over using one.
If you are happy with the mono sound, that's okay, it's adequate for some I guess, but don't you think you'd want to sound more than that...adequate should be your staring point, not your destination.
I (and my audience) will continue to enjoy the sound of my arranger the way it was designed to be heard...in stereo.

This is getting circular for some reason...several posts ago I acknowledged that I was sure that two L1's would make a terrific sound...I also said that was great for you...
On the other hand...
"If you are happy with the mono sound, that's okay, it's adequate for some I guess, but don't you think you'd want to sound more than that...adequate should be your staring point, not your destination."
Again, a put down of sorts...kind of a snide one at that.
You feel that a single Bose L1 is barely adequate, and those that use just one must be "settling" or something. I just don't agree...and neither do most of the Bose users out there. I think its arrogant that you would suggest that you've found this super unique way of using the Bose and that everybody else is just deaf, or has low standards. To say you've found a custom setup that works best for you is cool, but to take a swipe at the vast majority of the Bose users is categorically ridiculous...
While I acknowledge that one L1 sounds great, and two very likely sounds better...you seem unwilling to make a reciprocal concession.
I think we've exhausted the usefullness of this thread, lol...
Enjoy your Bose, as I'll enjoy mine...
