Thanks to everyone for the input. One of my concerns was playing live gigs with hearing aids. I have become very popular in my area because I have learned to keep the overall sound of my setup comfortable for those who wear hearing aids yet loud enough to be heard anywhere in the venue. If I get a complaint for being to loud it is always from someone with hearing aids. The Bose L1 Compact is a great match for those folks.

We will see I guess.
