Donny, it's got my attention for the portability factor. Love the ez lightweight set up.

Stephen,
I am totally satisfied with the performance of the Bose Compact. I have used it now at 7 gigs and it has yet to under perform for the room or the situation. I am very pleased with the portability and have put my Bose Classic L1 up for sale.

For my needs the two Compacts will work very well. I am curious about Mikey's comment about clipping because I ran my Compact from my keyboard full out playing preset styles, midi files, and WAV files and it never distorted at all.

Steve for what you do it could be "PERFECT"

I will still try the compact in the store with my Kb full bore anyway just to be sure.. I can't believe it's that bad & tinny if I heard that in a store I'd be all over the saleman idiot to let me EQ the unit as they mostly know squat.....

Hi Donny,

Keep me posted as to what you find. With all this discussion, my interest has been peaked. Let me know what you think. I do a lot of NH jobs.

Thanks,

Joe

the only thing i heard was the way the salesman set it for some customers that were asking questions. I have no idea how he had it tonematched. I'm sure with some tweaking it can be improved. I just thought it seemed a little overpriced compared with the L1 model 1I understand your paying a premium for the portability.

I'm not bashing i promise. I'd consider one for my preschol gigs in the classroom.I'd love to compare all the other systems in it's class.

Joe no problem....Ill let you know in a day or two for sure....

I rest my case!

Can anyone comment on the construction/durability of these things? If they were knocked over from a extended set up position, how would they fare?

The L1's are pretty solid...but the quality of material in construction certainly effects overall weight.

That's what I was thinking and based on Bose connection I have could be something to really consider.




Hammer primarily play the same type venues you do. I know the L1 Classic can be overkill for those 30 to 50 person medium size rooms but the sound dispersion works well, yea I'm thinking.............

I'll be shopping this after noon after my gig.....could have one here tonight....
I also noticed now Sweetwater & Musicians Friend & GC are selling them online also.
