The Bose Compact concept sounds intriguing. At one point I thought I needed stereo, but I found that it’s no longer important for me. I made the rounds over the years – Toa, Peavey, Mackie, Genz-Benz, JBL, et al. For my money, the Bose L1 with a B1 produces the best sound. Portability may be a different story. For small venues, I went back to a couple of Barbetta Sona 31’s with a Barbetta SE 32 for back up. Actually I’ve been able to use just one Sona 31 for my restaurant gigs – that’s portability. I would really be interested in hearing how Donny or someone that performs boards and vocals feels about the compact Bose.
