Don.....the Bose systems are a good mono setup that's what they were intended for "PAS" Personal amplification system the fact that we pros can vastly use them in other scenarios is OK also....
I might have told you that in the beginning when I got both the L1 & Compact....but, if you remember it was after intense stage use after a few months of gigging that I came to my conclusion that it wasn't a good fit for my ears and my music hence selling them both,.....Thrashing is one thing, a strong negative honest opinion is another,..it's simple, if I like it it stays,...
if I don't like it it goes bye bye, simple as that.
You have a Merry Christmas buddy.....enjoy what works for you.
