The Bose plugin subwoofers cannot be implemented with the Compact model line.

They work with the older and slightly larger L-1 series setups and be careful to find the right sub to go with the right model L-1.

But the Compact model, they elected not to include subwoofer option as it is intended to be a lower pricepoint offering for the person who has need of a smaller and lighter weight system for the smaller venues.


Comparing these systems to other conventional systems is likely not going to be very fruitful. The other systems are based on the old "projector" designs and sound is focused way out in front of them somewhere, at focal point. The Bose systems are totally different concepts and as such they are designed to disperse sound literally all over the place rather than focused.

I don't view the new Bose Compact as being a replacement for my present sound system at all.

For the larger venues I would want to keep "ole relibable and loud" on the job.
