I just was over at the Bose forums recently, and they casually mentioned that the crossover point between the Subs (B1s) are slightly higher in the Model 2, which I believe might help with the "hole" that can be heard in the lower mids of the old system. Additionally, (regarding that) I have been stacking my B1s vertically as recommended by many on the forum, as it provides a fuller, rounder, and even more punchy(!) Bass sound - placement of the B1s can make a big difference depending on the room.
Hammer, you really should go over to the Bose forums (and the Bose Wiki) and do a search on...well ANYTHING you want to know, as I practically guarantee you - it's been covered.
Love or hate the Bose, there's no denying that the Bose Forums are absolutely INCREDIBLE when it comes to discussions, help, advice, Technical issues - geez just about ALL anyone would want to know about the system.
Go there now if you're still interested in the Bose - really.....right now - you will be amazed.
Multiple B1's. Hmmmm....
So you are implying that the basic '1 stick, 1 sub' at $2500 is not enough for the gig. How much extra is each sub? Not to mention an actual USER admitting the 'hole in the low-mids' thingy that all the rest of us have been saying for a while...
Don't get me wrong, I STILL believe the Bose's, at the right task and in the right room, is a very good system. But it's nice to see a user finally even 'fess up to a couple of the things we've been talking about in the past. A lack of strong bass (I didn't want to say 'weak' 'cause that would get a knee-jerk reaction
) and a presence hole in the mid low-end is pretty much how I heard the basic system (haven't heard L2, but I AM familiar with L1) in action. Great coverage, but hyped, rather than 'flat' was my impression. YMMV
