But Bose will bring out something (or someone else will) that fixes all the L1's shortcomings, and it too will one day disappear into the dusty realm of 'you remember when the early Bose sticks had little low mids and no reverb or compression controls (and you even had to WIRE them together ) and we all used to go crazy for them?'

In the meantime, no matter HOW close a Nord gets, someone will still prefer the B3..!
