First of all the way Bose distributes it's wattage & disbursement of it's sound projection acoustically in a room is the key and secret to their great sound....vs other conventional powered speakers. Many people who have owned the L1/B1 units have switched to the Bose Compact there is a reason for that. When you play a very versatile line up year after year of gigs ranging in many different size audiences and conditions having two Pa's makes a lot of sense, sound wise, transportation wise and for backup. How many NH's have you've done with a big four hr dance gig right behind it same night? the Bose Compact is worth it's weight in gold to have something so versatile that sounds better then anything in it's class period. I would of dumped it in two seconds if it didn't.....if your not doing the same kind gigs then there's no point continuing the argument is there? People are happy with the BC sound, end of story I'd say.
