Sunny, I have tried both systems, both one and two units of each.
Both are impressive. Nothing I've seen comes close to two Podiums IN THAT PRICE RANGE. There is ample bass and clear mids and highs, and plenty of power for most venues. And did I mention the price? I've spend more than that for dinner before!
The Bose Compacts are another story. There is a clarity and a projection of coverage that nothing else has. You have to experience it to see if it is suited to your needs. I expect to use my two Compacts in 95 percent of my jobs.
