As mentioned already, L1 systems in general produce quite satisfying and large stereo fields because of the radiation pattern of the systems. The Model I and Model II will produce a deeper stereo field than the Compact because the falloff of sound with distance is so gradual.
Yep, it seems there are a lot of Bose users that have discovered, or are
discovering the benefits of going in stereo.
The only time I will use a conventional stereo speaker system, is when I'm doing restaurant gigs, and I want the sound to project only so far, allowing those who want to listen to the music to sit closer, and the ones who wish to have conversation, to sit further away.
I'll probably be using the Bose L1's mostly for concert type gigs, but I'm sure they'd work pretty darn good for dance gigs as well.
