My Bose L1 Compact arrived and after about 6 hours of playing I posted a report at the link below for those interested.

It's on the Accessory Hardware forum, if you are having trouble finding it...

Very interesting; keep us posted, hammer. I'm not there yet, but when I am I will certainly want to check this unit out and A/B it with the L1.

Mine will arrive this afternoon. Looking forward to trying it. SemiLive now owns my extra L1 system.

Don,
I bet you will like it once you get your keyboard EQd for it. I found another great use for it. I have been listening to CDs and my Satalite radio played through it and it will make one hell of a home system too. Neat thing about that is it is so small and light I would be inclined to actually use it for a home system as well. You don't have to setup the tower to use it and that is a neat feature. I also like the mic input system on it - very simple to use and very clear. On my L1 Classic I always got complaints that when I used the mic to speak it was hard for the older folks to understand. I bet that won't be a problem with the Compact.

Let me know what you think when you get time to play with yours.

WHOA!!! ... the BOSE is a 'HOME USE SYSTEM' ?!?!? ... no way any self-respecting 'PRO' would use a 'HOME SYSTEM' on a gig/job ... no siree ... NO WAY !!!

I'm thinking about getting four of them and having quadrophonic sound!!

They sound awesome in stereo...best investment I ever made...with the kind of quality in these systems, they will last me a long, long time.

Mono works okay (barely) until you play them in stereo...then you won't go back.

My only comment is please those of you who live in Rhode Island (hear that Tony ) or nearby Mass. please don't but the Bose. L1, II or the newest compact model. I don't need the competition. Tony the Podium's sound good.
