I used to have 4 Bose Compacts, and is almost 5 years ago that I got rid of them, do not take me wrong, sound very nice but under powered, overpriced, and found the Maui LD 5 at almost half the price, able to surpass the job of 4 compacts connected, with just 2 LD5s, and have power to spare WITHOUT compromising sound quality, Before the Pandemia, I had for the last 5-6 years, an average of 12 to 18 jobs per month, and for the last 5 with JUST the Pair of Maui LD5s, Never a problem.....also, have bluetooth, etc...Lighter than the Compact......I am a very picky person when comes to sound....and I am VERY happy with this models.

My 2 cents.
