Songman55 Member Registered: 06/24/05 Posts: 892 Loc: Baltimore, MD USA	I'm still a Bose convert. Like Gary, that clear, crisp sound is what I've been looking for all my life. For very small gigs I use the on board speakers alone. For slightly larger venues, I use the Bose without the tower extensions. For larger jobs, I use the tower, and for very large jobs, I have a second Compact that I use. This covers all my needs.

rosetree Unregistered	I am totally Bose addicted, except I haven't got an L1 compact yet, but only smaller devices which I divert from their intended use: the Sounddock 10 for medium venues, the Sounddock portable plus Companion 20 for small-to-medium venues or small churches and the Sounddock portable alone for quick registry-office weddings (only for piano sound), where it's important to assemble and dissassemble my equipment in less than 5(!) minutes.

Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2445 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	Originally Posted By: Dnj I rest my case........enjoy your Bose... I can respect that..... but will never use them again for My needs. enjoy. I've never considered Bose because of the price and I just don't believe an 8" woofer in the Compact can cover a party. Maybe two but then we're back to price. I think the Kiss method is best . I have this system for my studio and small gigs. The mixer and cables fit into a gym bag, weight next to nothing and I can use one or two speakers (stereo !!! ) plus have the option of bringing one of my very small Peavey mic stand monitors to put the sound right in my face. Surprizingly powerful system and good bass for the dance stuff. BTW I know I was kicking around the idea of the Yamaha DXR10's but I really like having my mixer near me so either having just a mixer to powered speakers or a powered mixer is a toss up. The powered mixer requires less cables. Donny, if you ever want to spend a nice day in Cape May your welcome to stop by and demo it. Made in the USA and very affordable. I also have the discontinued LM12 speakers (no longer available with the NEO magnets ) with a Yamaha 512 mixer I have used extensively and they are still amazing. Just found a used LM153 speaker for my organ/bass stuff. http://www.carvinguitars.com/products/XP800L-PM10 Edited by Bill Lewis (01/06/14 08:10 AM) _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

You're welcome anytime and you can try out the Bose L1 Compact and get some hands on experience.

EVER.In fact, I play opposite a guy occasionally and WILL NOT use his system, even though it is already hooked up and ready to go. Sounds AWFUL to me. He LOVES IT!

musicforyourday Member Registered: 09/30/10 Posts: 733 Loc: So California, USA	I use QSC K 8 for small venues. DXR 12 for large. And DSR subs even larger or outdoor events. I am looking to get a pair of QSC K10 to replace my K 8 and use them for small events and use k 8 for monitor. K series the best for what we do sterio and sound great under 20lbs 1000wt what more can you ask for. I put them on little amp stands and set up in 10 seconds .

J. Larry Member Registered: 12/14/99 Posts: 521 Loc: University, MS 38677 USA	Top this for portability and quick set up. I�m working solo with a S950 (internal speakers), with a pair of Behringer MS 16 powered monitor speakers to fill out the sound. Works great for dining music----all instrumental.

If you're happy with the Behringer MS16, it's ok. But they weigh more than a Bose Sounddock II/portable and only have 2x8 Watt. So I'm sure the small Sounddock tops it for portability and quick set up, but unfortunately also regarding the price. Edited by rosetree (01/06/14 10:55 AM)
