To be honest here in this discussion....personally I have owned and performed with the original Bose PAS L1 & the Bose Compact and I have voiced my opinion many times.
Now they have the L1 Model I & L1 Model II which are designed differently then the Original PAS regarding line array speaker placement & larger sub, etc,... I have never played thru these newer models and as always I'm open to someday trying them also as I always have an open mind to change if its warranted. Anything that can make me sound a little bit better and keep me happy performing I'm will to give a chance to.
As for the Compact that will never be a choice for me unless some major change is made to suit the sound I need.
I am very happy with what I'm using the Yamaha DXR line of speakers is outstanding in every respect I can't complain.
