Three years wasted, that is! For almost 3 years I put off the Bose because I never believed the improved sound would be adequate to warrent the cost. Also, the extra set-up and tear-down time had me concerned. I was wrong on both counts.

I picked up the system last night at GC, set it up in the living room, and spent all night setting up, connecting, and tweeking settings and pre-sets. Having a performance scheduled this afternoon, there was no way I was going without the Bose. I arrived an extra half hour early since I wasn't sure if I knew what I was doing. As it turned out, set-up time was only an added 10 minutes, and I'm sure that after awhile it'll be only half that, at best. All went well with many compliments on the sound.

What I like most about the PAS/L1, it makes me sound lots better than I really am!

Bottom line, all the accolades we've been hearing on the Bose are warrented. And what a rush it is to be hearing that sound as you're performing. Thanks Gary, Eddie, and Don for helping me get a fast track on this thing.

Like I've always said--You'll love what you hear!

Is it o.k. if I say, modestly,
I TOLD YOU SO!

It was good to talk with you on the phone.
Enjoy the Bose! You'll find that when you get the procedure down, setup time is minimal.
You can leave the base in the bag. Just unzip and roll it back.

GlennT,

I thought I had mentioned this to you in FL (during the workshop when we used John Deep's setup)? We currently have/use 2 PAS systems with 4 subs and I must say, they're great!

AJ

What's the overall output(Watts)of PAS?also the sub.

I have had mine for a year now. My vocals sounded so good that people in the audience convinced me to include them in my repitoire.

Also, the service and general help from Bose is second to none.

Does the amplifier have built in reverb?

The L1 is 750-watts RMS, 1,400-watts Peak. The tower is 500-watts, and the sub is 250-watts. While some will tell you that 750 watts is not sufficient, you'll be amazed at the power, sound distrubition and clarity of this system. And, just using a single sub along with the tower you'll find yourself turning down the bass because it can be overpowering. I recently performed outdoors at an area twice the size of a football field and never had to turn the system above 1/3 volume. Even those sitting 300 to 500 feet from the system said they had no trouble hearing the music.

Good Luck,

Gary

Zuki,

No reverb, but it does have an excellent selection of preprogrammed EQs, as well as a 3-band EQ on the remote.

Cheers,

As I told Glenn on the phone, I thought I would use the Bose L1 just for my night time gigs and another powered speaker for the smaller daytime jobs. However, the difference is so remarkable, I now use the Bose for every job.

It is SOOOO good, you can hear every mistake I make.
