Hi Don,
Since you had both: The Bose L1 compact and the Maui 5 for a while, I would like to hear your opinion.
I read your review when you got the Mai 5, however I would like to know 2 things:
1. How does the Mai 5 compare to the Bose in terms of clarity?
I know you said they needed a bit of EQing to make them sound right.
2. How is the sound drop of compared to the Bose?

The spec rate the Bose at 108db and the Maui at 114db.
Is there an audible difference in your opinion?

I really like the clarity of the Bose, which is one of the most important things to me.

Thanks
Eric

I had them both also...
But I much prefer the Maui 5....crisp,clean,and very punchy, better design Imo... Bluetooth and EQ versatility.

I like them a lot. Seems to be a bit more bottom. Both Maui and Bose sound great to me as far as clarity.
To tell the truth I have never come close to maxing out the Maui. I get plenty loud enough, and there seems to be room for more volume but I don't need it where I am working. I'll try to remember to crank it up next time I catch the room empty. I haven't brought them home since I set them up, so that room is the only place I've heard them.

Thanks Donny and Don,
I appreciate your replies
Eric

LD Maui 5's easily covered an outside job last nite this size with no problem and room to spare....w/Music & Vocals.

Very cool Pics
Looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks Donny.
Eric

Thanx just another day at the office..

Quick question:
How do you put pics directly into a threat?
Do you have to upload them to the web first?
Thanks
Eric

Donny if that's an office where are the desks?

We needed a photo of the Maui's and your gig set up. Maybe at next week's gig?

The easiest way to post the photos is to first upload the into Photobucket.com. Then all you need to do is provide a link to the photo using the full reply screen.

Thanks Gary
I'll try that sometime
Eric

Or, if you have them on your computer, just use the 'FILE MANAGER' below the reply box to browse your computer to find the pic ... very simple! ...

Cool
Thanks
Eric

Well, the first thing I saw that told me this was your set-up was the fan ... then I looked really hard and saw the speaker 'columns' and parts of the bottoms ... this was a gig with no KB?

Tony this was a DJ gig no need for KB....
but wanted to show you the Maui 5's...
also the FAN is a BIG MUST on stage...I sometimes carry two & set up a fan station on the side for dancers
when its hot they love it!

Never leave home without a fan!

Gary

Nice set up Donny!

Also noticed your weight loss, you don't look like the same Donny. Congrats on all the weight loss.
