I'm afraid I don't think I'd want to risk putting a live band through just one L1, Gary... Even Bose, in their own literature, show each musician in the band having their own speaker. You'd have to limit the heck out of it to not blow sh*t up!

But you'll notice my comment earlier was aimed at the Compact. There isn't a 130W system of ANY kind I would expect to sound good at upper volume levels. It's not just a Bose bash... It's a simple acknowledgment of an audio FACT. Little low powered PA's OF ANY KIND will tend to break up as you get louder than they are capable of going. I know I'm kind of fun to debate with, but how about some acknowledgment of Kingfrog's post...? You know, the one where he, as a salesman of them, says :

Coffee shop volumes. There is not a lot of bulk in the sound. Midrange is weak. Easily over driven. Sounds better with only one extender.


Have a 'go round' with someone else for a change, eh? I'm getting a fair amount of flack for posting, these days, but feel that often, people will address their contra opinions to ME, when there may be several more on the same thread that have voiced the exact same opinion. Sometimes even blunter than I..! But most times it's ME everybody likes to single out.

Let's hear you tell Kingfrog, that SELLS them, just how wrong he is, eh Gary?
