JBL Eon One would be comparable to the Maui 11, Bose Compact, and similar models by other manufacturers in terms of sound output, but the Eon One Compact competes with the Bose S1, and both can be battery operated. If I were to choose between the two for battery operation and small venues, I'd choose the Eon Compact. By the way, I almost bought the RCF Evox, but I just didn't like the idea of carrying two units for stereo, whereas the Nano 608i is a 2.1 stereo system, which can be also operated in mono. Plenty of inputs and outputs, also a lot of control via Bluetooth from an IOS device.

I had two nano 600's & is no comparison to the
RCF Jmix8 series sound wise imo .....
I always played in stereo with two units with any system regardless.

Re: JBL Compact vs Bose S1 pro...

I’m guessing that since the JBL has an 8” woofer, there’s the possibility of more low end on the JBL. But if low end is the goal...probably better to go with an even bigger woofer...12” or more.

That said the S1pro has received 118 mostly positive views on Sweetwater. I have a pair of S1 pros and they are still my go to PA’s. I also have the original EON One...great sound but works differently than Bose.

I've used the Bose system, but I've been using the LD Systems Maui 28 G1's for 3 years now in Stereo Pair and they have been sensational for me. I've done all types of venues from Auditoriums, Outdoor, small intimate settings, Grand Halls, and have always been complemented on my sound. Never use monitors. Never get feedback. I actually have been asked to turn down the Bass/Sub's. These also have 2 - 8" woofers, 1" tweeter, 16 3" mid range in each tower. They have endured a 100 gigs.

I'm sure these new JBL copy-cats are amazing, but I'll repeat: I have never needed more bass from my S1pros.
Bose sets the standard, then everyone catches up ... eventually.

great picture

Indeed, the Maui 28 is a good sounding system being a Class AB amp; nice and warm, but heavy! I still have my Maui 28. I can't imagine myself carrying two of those!

Maui has caught up, surpassed, and at half the price!

Two speakers and two subs are really the right way to do it, and I have no doubt that your two RCFs sound excellent. I almost bought the RCF Evox myself, but I just don't like to carry and set up two systems. The most that I am willing to do is a 2.1 system like the Nano 608i, dB tech ES 503, or Yorkville exm 400. The Nano 608i is a much improvement over the Nano 300. It sounds big and warm. I am hoping for RCF to release a 2.1 stereo system. If I were to carry two speakers, I'd be really interested in the RCF TT08a. RCF just released its second version. An 8 inch powered speaker. It will be over $2,000 for each speaker.
