Mike,
It is great to hear that you are satisfied with the unit. I have the same unit and I am well pleased. And you are so right about the Kn7000 never sounding better.
You wrote, “The tone match is the heart of the system”. I would like to know more about the Tone Match, what is it adding to the overall sound. Is the unit worth the extra dollars? Do you feel that a mixer with and EQ can do the same job?

Happy playing mike, John C.

PS, My biggest surprise is when I put the volume up and then up again and I did not hear distortion, it IS a small unit. One of us should post the exact weight of the Bose Compact.
