This was one of the units I was considering..I wanted a compact high powered unit, but substantial bass...Most reviews say this lacked in the bass dept...

I an so glad I went for the unknown 802's..1/5th the price and I have a stereo pair..

Zuki, how they hold up, I can't answer..I am careful to follow the factory comments..to use only line level..I have pushed these beyond what I find unbearable volume levels....more than any venue I would have used the 802's...
I have over 30 hours of "more than I would use " volume level test periods ..as long as 4 hour intervals...All with clean, clear results...and the heat sink is just slightly warm..telling me they are not over driven...

Logic tells me , If they didn't act up on my test, I have to believe with normal service they will be fine....If not I have that factory "lifetime" warranty..

With speakers this small, can they be modified to fit on a stand with a small round base like a mic stand?

O.K., Fran, they are very, very good, but I have to stop way short of saying they are better than Bose L1. No way, Jose!
Two different animals for sure.
I do plan to use them though. May even spring for the 10s of someone tries them and they do even better than the 8s.

Well, considering that you could buy ten pairs of them for the same price as a PAS system, perhaps they ARE better than the Bose. If Fran can barely stand the volume of just ONE pair, imagine what ten pair could put out!

Yes twenty speakers would probably do most jobs as well as one Bose. Have fun hauling them around and setting them up.
As I said, they are at opposite ends of the spectrum. The 802s will be great for small jobs. The Bose is pretty much great for any job, providing you want coverage throughout the building. Not every situation calls for that.

T....they have a standard speaker stand hole mount on the bottom.They are too heavy for a mic stand.

Don , don't let anyone put words in my mouth..

I didn't say I thought they were better than any other product , except they out performed the Mackie 350's..

What I did say I rather use the 802's over the Bose without the sub,,,

For the size, weight, and price..I will confirm you can't beat them....now if they hold up, they will earn a reputation too,,..

Fran,
Sorry, it was DNJ that put words in your mouth:

"Like Fran said they are better then the BOSE L1 system at 1/20th the price hahah:eek;"

I agree that the Bose sounds like zilch without the sub.
Again, thanks for pointing us to these super little speakers.

Who cares.......don't worry Fran you'll get your "S" Cape
