Ok, time for some feedback on the Bose Compacts...

I've played eight, diverse gigs with the Compacts since getting hem Friday afternoon.

Friday eve: Senior center dance with 2 compacts and the tonematch
Saturday: Grand opening in large banquet tent: 2 compacts with yamaha box mixer
Sunday 4 hour dance at a large Eagles with 2 compacts and the tonematch
Monday nursing home with 2 compacts and the tonematch
Tuesday nursing home with 2 compacts and the tonematch
Thursday small Assisted living with 1 compacts and the tonematch
Thursday nursing home with 2 compacts and the tonematch

*Set up time has shrunk by 5-6 minutes. double compacts set-up is around 15-20. The single took me about 3 minutes less...

*The sound is just pristine. Regardless of how many compacts I'm using, its crystal clear, strong and very satisfactory for my work...

*I'm truly mystified by the reported "lack of low end" from this system. There's plenty....almost too much at times...

*In terms of output, again there's more than enough...make no mistake, I play loud, I have a big strong voice and even the single compact allowed me to feel comfortable.

*The biggest frustration for me is the difference in the physical setup. Before, the L1 would sit directly behind me about 4-8 feet. Now, that will work fine when I use a single compact, but when I use both, it'll be different. In those cases, each compact sits behind me, and to the outside by about 8 to 15 feet or so. Corners are rough to make this work well. hardly fatal, just something that's requiring an extra bit of thought during setup...

*With the cart being lighter by 40+ pounds, its absolutely an easier haul.

*Between the Compacts, the TC Helicon Voice live rack and the T2, I'm very happy with my rig. I can do almost any kind of music, it will sound exceptional and it won't tear me up physically to transport it.

*Not sure if its simply the use of 2 compacts versus a single l1, but several people have commented that everything sounds much sharper and crisper.
