It does have the AC, and on paper, it has a very decent frequency response. I'd have to hear it.

But I'd be weary. I remember that when I was playing with JBL Eon10s, a very reputable speaker, I would get more loudness complaints than I do now with my FBTs playing at the same volume.

BTW, I don't think the Bose have to be stereo to sound great. I have a buddy who sings to backing tracks, and we were both booked 15 minutes apart at the same community. He had the standard Bose L1, and he sounded INCREDIBLE during the 10 minutes I was able to listen.

I think the speaker quality is super important, however. Your audience won't consciously hear frequency response, signal to noise ratio, total harmonic distortion, but they will respond emotionally if things sound just perfect or not quite right.
