Hello,
I used Bose 802's for several years before getting the PAS. My experience was that the sound of the 802 system was wonderful if you cranked it. It was not for small venues. I had to use a another system for small venues. IMHO the PAS sounds good in small and large spaces and eliminates the need a second, different system - except to keep on hand as a back-up.
Ciao,

I must agree Jerry. The Bose L1 (PAS) seems to work well for every venue, and the only other system I carry is for backup only.

Thanks,

Gary

I run a pair of 802mkII's with a pair of Peavey Black Widows for bass. I don't have the BOSE controller, just a 15 band graphic set to increasingly boost the top end. Always sounds smooth at all volumes from very quiet up to "can you please turn that down".

My main issue with the BOSE is that they are not very efficient and so have to be driven surprisingly hard, so you need a serious amp (I'm using a Yamaha 400 a side amp).
