Sorry to jump in,

But could you tell us more about the Bose L1. Never heard one in person.

Is it worth the price?




Yes. I can say that because I'm the guy who convinced John C. to give 'em a try, right here on these forums.

I sold my Bose L-1 system and bought two of the newer Bose Compacts. Love 'em. And so do the club owners and audience.

The newer Bose Compact is lighter in weight, easier to pack in and out and as far as I'm concerned, does the same job as the big one plus its subwoofer did for me and then some. I run two, so BiaB and my keyboard can be in stereo. Haven't found a venue too big for it yet, but then I don't play huge places anyway.

Just don't ry to use 'em for studio recording monitors. They make almost any mix sound good and that won't translate to other people's speaker systems well. They weren't designed to be studio monitors, but already some folks have blasted me because I recommended them for doing live gigs in clubs -- and they tried to use 'em on mixing at home as well. Go figure.
