Interested to know if anyone is doing this. Did you find it better than one?
Do you find (1) is good enough?

Just curious. I had a sound guy listen to me yesterday. He loved the Bose sound, but thought it was too localized and would sound much fuller with one on each side.

Yes, I've used two for about the past year. I love it. I'm right in the middle and get the full stereo effect this way. Plus, if something should happen to one of them, I can still function just fine with the remaining one.
I've played parties up to a couple hundred people with the two Compacts.

Thx Don for the report. So I'm assuming there's an appreciable improvement over running one system? I would tend to believe so. Even though 90% of my jobs wouldn't require this setup, I know I'd like the stereo effect. And a great point about a reserve! Well, after a yr, my 1st is pd off. Time to purchase another yr installment (if they still offer the program)

Hey Jim-

As good as you sounded that day at 1 Lincoln Park, I think two would give you a fuller, richer sound.

You just have to figure out how to get everything in on one trip, lol...

Hope all is well...

Ordered my 2nd unit today. I turned off the keyboard speakers today and just felt I needed to have these things on both sides. I need to be the best I can be in this competitive marketplace. I think I can afford $83 mo from the checking account....

I actually found that two sort of cancelled each other out a bit - I'm sure it was because they were too close together, but the effect was not better for me. There were dead spots, and with one there were none. I did just buy a pair of the New QSC K12s for large parties, and I love them. My regular setup is still mono, still Bose, still spectacular!

It doesn't sound as though it is spectacular as you thought the Bose were..before..

So you needed more power and stereo...imagine that..

Safe bet they won't be used at the CrabTrap..
