Col,
I'm sure it's wonderful. I'm just so spoiled by years of comparisons between products, and NONE, since I started using Bose. I even sold my QSC K8s this year. They were gathering dust as a backup I didn't need. As a performer that plays many low volume events, I really love the variety I get from just a single Bose ... I use it with just the sub to add some ooomph to my PA900 speakers, add the top (on the floor) for more clarity and punch, when needed, and raise the top to cover more of the room ... if that's called for. One unit gives me 4 options for coverage, and that's before (if ever) I get the second Compact out of the trunk.
I know ... I'm singing the same old song ... but with a different meaning ... (hmmm, sounds catchy?)
