Just a PS. We recently used the L1 in a TINY restaurant that seated maybe 75 people. It had 2 rooms...the bar area and the dinner area.

The dinner area was to the extreme right of where we had to set up such that they were on a 170-180 degree angle to the speaker stack.

The bar area...where we were set up...was about 25x25 feet and the closest patron was TWELVE FEET in front of the speaker tower!

The challange was to provide sound to the dining area where the farthest table was 50 feet from us and yet not "move hair" on the people sitting 12 feet from us.

Result...NO problem! The L1's super wide sound dispersion angle (170-180 degrees) provided identical sound to the farthest patron as those sitting at the bar right in front of us.

Just to qualify my remarks, I have absolutely nothing to do with the Bose company.

But as Mac said....it ain't cheap folks. But the L1 is noticeably better in every respect to other single tower PAs like the Fishman Sa220.

No disrespect to Fishman or its users intended...and it is about half the price of the L1 so it isn't supposed to be in the same league.

Best,
