Local GC has 2 used Bose L1 Compacts for $650 each with covers. And the S1pro is there new for $599... no cover.

The S1pro is interesting because of these reasons...
16 lbs
Bluetooth
Battery
Reverb
Monitor/Kickback/Pole/Table positions

It could fill a niche in some of the things I do... but $600?

See if you can find a Maui 5 to compare. You get all the features, better sound and half the price!

Good point. I have a Bose Compact and a Maui LD5 about a year ago I took both units to jam with TonyMads we both thought the Maui LD5 had the better sound . Having built in blue tooth is a bonus too.

LD Systems Maui 5 is worth another look!!

LD Systems Maui 5 = $600
Bose S1pro = $600 with battery
Used Bose L1 Compact = $650
MAUI 5 GO = $900 with battery
