I have a Bose Compact, and a Pa4z with no speakers. Brought home two Yamaha studeo speakers --- $199 each. They had some at $299 and $399. Not to my liking.
I thought of buying two Bose S1 speakers. $1.200 + dollars. That's when I thought of a used Bose compact, that would give me stereo and the Bose sound. And it would look great with a speaker on either side.
This set up has very little chance of going on a job, and it is a bit over-kill for my home -- but who cares. (smile) The Pa4x is also not needed.
I am open for any ideas, John C.
