Man, what a day. One Podium 10 blew out. I turned it on and before I could even plug in the 1/4 from my keyboard it blew. No more power, just smoke!

I had to go mono. I put the other speaker in front of my keyboard and it SOUNDED TERRIFIC. So much for the stereo thinking all of a sudden. I still loved the on board speakers as monitors.

My 3rd job tonight came with a nice surprise. They just purchased a Bose Compact house system. So I had the opportunity to try it out with my 800....let me say this.........I WAS BLOWN AWAY...

Anyone selling a Compact?

Nope, I'm not selling one...but, I am considering buying a pair to use in stereo on my S900 (or S910)...I sold my Bose L1's, as I am not doing any more concert stuff, but I still would like to have a relatively small system with basically the same room filling capability.

Zuki just go to your bose dealer and buy a Compact ......you wont regret it! It will pay itself back time after time! I love mine for small to med gigs.

Zuki - I consider myself lucky to have found my like new Compact on eBay, but I can't say that I've seen any other by-owner ads out there. I saved $200.

Ian - I see a pair of Compacts and maybe a mixer as a great mid-size PA, stereo or not - go for it.

Great piece of gear, glad to hear you liked what you heard!

I also own one & am more impressed with it every time that I use it, plus it's very easy on my "tired old back".

Jim,

I'm selling my old L1 (not compact). If you're interested, email or call me.

Bad experience. Stuck me with an 80 return shipping fee. Nasty customer service. Beware - I'm done with them

Zuki, That's too bad. My experience with them was just the opposite. They couldn't have been nicer, and sent out a replacement immediately.
Anyway, you'll LOVE the Compacts.

Done with who? Bose or podium?
