Well I just bought the Bose L1 mark 1. The second hand one.
The owner convinced me it was in perfect condition, and as it came with a second sub speaker, the price was very good I thought. Approx $1200 USD.

I just couldn't justify the extra $'s for the mark II version, especially as new they are $3400 AUD and then a sub box is an extra $560 and then a further $700+ for the Tone Match box.

I think this system will do the job for me.
And I am REALLY looking forward to NOT having to carry 2 power amps two top boxes a 35 kilo sub, speaker stands, cabling, all the power points and power leads for all the above gear..etc etc LOL!!

Anyway, just wanted to let those who helped me with a lot of advice and thoughts know that their comments were not wasted

Thanks again to all.

Dennis
