Not ot mention the cost of ownership is very low due to a fantastic resale value. Spend $3000 on ANY PA and sell it two yeasr later for $2500.....

Spend $1000 for ANY PA and sell it for $700....

There is a market for used Bose systems..Check Ebay. Used systems are selling for well over half the cost of new and mostly more. When I was shopping for the ModII set up I looked on Ebay and saw systems bid up to $2600!!! For even $700 more I would rather buy new. Now sell a pair of JBL Club speakers for 3/4 of new! Or a Mackie 808S...and the sticks cables monitor, get less than 1/2 of new cost.

This is becasue the Bose systems are in demand used and UNIQUE. Not a plain jain PA that every player has in their garage and trying to sell.
