I have to third Joe's and Gary's remarks. When I started doing OMB gigs I tried a number of smaller amp settings, but the Bose is clear winner for me. I bought a Roland BA-330, thinking it might be a good replacement. I don't think I've used it more than twice, once in tandem with the Compact for a larger hall. I also have kept an EV 12" powered sub, just in case; haven't touched it in years.

The Bose Compact is exceptional. The size and weight are ideal, especially for how big it sounds. It complements my s950 very nicely.
