Restoring damaged thread: Author Robert L Posted Sat March 17 2007 01:21 PM Now I'm glad that I've held off buying mine. MODEL II Robert L Author rwj Posted Sat March 17 2007 09:17 PM I also look forward to learning about model II, however I have NO REGRETS about buying my L1 in December of 2003. It was a great investment. If I had waited until now, I wound have missed so much. rwj Author Kings Court Posted Sat March 17 2007 10:21 PM I just bought mine in December of 06, and I feel the same way. What would I have missed, if I hadn't changed my PA and my thinking about sound. I know people, that were interested in buying a computer in 1996, and are still waiting for the best one to come out. Some technology, you will never catch up with, and some never gets old. I still have a pair of AR speakers (made by Dr. Bose)that I bought in the 80's, and haven't found anything better. I think that the L1 original will be cutting edge sound for a long time to come. Keep your boxes, and in a 100 years it will be what started the revolution in live sound. Big Grin Gordy ( o)==::: The Kings Court www.myspace.com/thekingscourt4u Author Topic: L1 Model II?? cecilguitar Posted Sat March 17 2007 09:58 PM Today I received the May issue of Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Page 23 is a full page ad for the "Bose L1 Model II System", which refers the reader to http://www.Bose.com/musicians. I tried that URL, only to get transferred to another Bose URL, and have also scoured the Bose.com URL, including using the search function to find more info about the "Bose L1 Model II System", to no avail. Does anyone here know anything about the "L1 Model II System"? Thank you. best always, Tom Author MikeZ-at-Bose Posted Sun March 18 2007 09:30 AM Please note that the new products that will be discussed in detail on 3/29 are *additions* to the family. http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4806048934/m/9621047444 The L1 model I was ,is, and will continue to be a great product. It is not obsolete. I'm looking forward very much to discussing the new products here, but before then let's keep away from overspeculating. -MikeZ Author scotty Posted Sun March 18 2007 03:02 PM quote: I know people, that were interested in buying a computer in 1996, and are still waiting for the best one to come out. AMEN Brother! Scotty playitforward http://myspace.com/playitforwardnow Author Drumr Posted Mon March 19 2007 11:52 AM Scotty...your music at myspace is beatiful stuff. Author scotty Posted Mon March 19 2007 10:42 PM Hah!Smile Thanks Drumr. Ain't music fun? Best regards, Scotty Scotty playitforward http://myspace.com/playitforwardnow Author Chuck-at-Bose Posted Tue March 20 2007 07:35 AM Hello Gareth and welcome to this community! Rest assured that we're committed to your complete satisfaction with your purchase. I see that you're in Spain. Rather than getting into a public discussion about your personal specifics, I'm sending you a private message with some suggestions... All the best, Chuck Author bdotson Posted Tue March 20 2007 01:05 PM Hmmm - wonder if we'll go down in history like the first people to buy Les Pauls or Strats? Maybe like the first to ever buy an electric anything! Seriously, now that the second stage in the New Approach is about to be unveiled, we've crossed a threshold of sorts... to all my fellow Lewis & Clarks, here's to hoping that we don't all get gear envy over v2! Author Gareth Christian Posted Tue March 20 2007 05:06 AM Hi I am expecting a delivery today of an LI system.My dilemma is whether to return it immediately and wait for the new model.I´m sure I´m going to feel stupid if I keep it!Any hints on what to do...i´m so excited by the system...I play 7 gigs a week,and this could really change my life...Thanks Author MikeZ-at-Bose Posted Tue March 20 2007 05:10 PM The unveiling will be worldwide. In fact, the launch will happen at the MusikMesse show in Frankfurt on the 29th. That same day all of the information will be available at bose.com/musicians No waiting for Europe :-) Author mike o Posted Tue March 20 2007 05:07 PM quote: Gareth Christian Posted Tue March 20 2007 05:06 AM Hide Post Hi I am expecting a delivery today of an LI system.My dilemma is whether to return it immediately and wait for the new model.I´m sure I´m going to feel stupid if I keep it!Any hints on what to do...i´m so excited by the system...I play 7 gigs a week,and this could really change my life...Thanks Posts: 4 | Registered: Fri March 16 2007 I'm in the same posttion.

It has propelled me forward in my music. I gig once or twice a week and I owe it all to the Bose system. It renewed my passion for performing. Prior to the L1, I was frustrated by the traditional system--never really knowing how I sounded out in the audience (e.g. too loud, etc). The L1 changed all that forever. Will I get an L1 Model II?--of course! Smile I have absolutely no self control whatsoever and will likely be the first on my block to have the L1 model II. I have no problem giving my hard earned cash to Bose for this exciting and beneficial technology. It is so rare to have the product actually match and exceed the marketing: The Bose L1 does it beautifully. Author scotty Posted Tue March 20 2007 10:46 PM quote: I'm so delighted with my system and have thoroughly benefited from this new technology for almost two years. I agree. However, I think the rub is with more recent buyers. It is a natural emotion to be concerned if you just purchased the L1 a couple of months ago. I bought mine for Christmas 2006, just 3 months ago. I am delighted with it. There are suggestions I have for improvements (mostly logistical stuff)but I like the system. About 20 years ago I got "burned" buying a camcorder at a high price just before a major model change and price reduction. You know what ... I have some great shots that I would not have had if I had waited. I'm still pissed, but hey time heals. Anywho, my only suggestion is that Bose be kind to the previous buyers, and try to work with existing owners in the most ethical and business like way they can in this rapidly changing world. Scotty playitforward http://myspace.com/playitforwardnow Author Ric Posted Wed March 21 2007 12:25 AM I just recently got a slightly used system for my guitarist. No, regrets here. My first system is still performing flawlessly after a year. I do have a couple of questions though, will bose still produce the original L1 after the new one is introduced? If so, will the original go down in price? Eventually I'd like to buy a system dedicted solely to my vocal, for a total of three systems. So, maybe there is a L1 model two in my future. P.S. It's funny that there is going to be a model two my wife keeps calling the L1 the latest tech for sound. Author Ted the musicman Posted Wed March 21 2007 07:18 AM I think that it might be good to reemphasize this statement. quote: Please note that the new products that will be discussed in detail on 3/29 are *additions* to the family. http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4806048934/m/9621047444 The L1 model I was ,is, and will continue to be a great product.

I have had my L1 for 3 years now. My 2nd L1's base needs to be sent back for a rework, the mixer side is not working but amps work great for B1's. Looks like the speakers are interchangable. Also new remote, wireless? I played a gig last Sat. and the owner of the bar said turn it up after every song. (80 patrons in small 30 seat bar) I have never had the L1 up so loud and clear. I was using 1 L1 and 4 B1's. Lot's of head room! (Midi files, guitar and vocals) Author Gareth Christian Posted Wed March 21 2007 04:58 AM Well I sent my L1 delivery back.....just hope it isn´t too long ´till the new model is available in Spain!!Season´s just beginning,and I want to start with the best sound possible.....and a healthy back! Big Grin Author Robert L Posted Wed March 21 2007 02:23 AM quote: I agree. However, I think the rub is with more recent buyers. No way to prevent this kind of situation. There will always be a group of people that will buy a product the day before the release of a new model or the day before a decrease in price. At least with the return policy the most recent buyers will have the option to send the old version back. We will have to wait and see if version II is that much different from version one. Even if they have to raise the price substantially, I am hoping Bose will release a L1 model with more professional features. Robert L Author Ken-at-Bose Posted Wed March 21 2007 06:11 PM Hi Gareth, Let me see if I can get some help here from Bose Europe. Ken Author Chuck-at-Bose Posted Wed March 21 2007 09:56 PM I've put out some feelers as well, Gareth. Stay tuned... Author StuartD Posted Thu March 22 2007 05:59 AM Hi: quote: "but there is also a handy way of upgrading the L1 I by buying something" That's all I needed to hear! I'll bet if that sentence was posted early on, it would have prevented a lot of the speculation and concern. Stu Hi Robert, As you know by now the L1 II is an addition to the family; so there is no old L1 system... For more details, you'll have to wait until we launch globally next week on Wednesday. Enjoy your L1 I. I can assure you; you'll be delighted with it. Guy at Bose Europe [edited by Ken-at-Bose for compliance with our policy of not supplying details before March 29] Sincerely Ken Jacob | |||

Hi Ken and Chuck,I love the way way you guys work here...and I don´t want to be a pain in the ***.....BUT! Is there any news on the Spanish release of Mk11? My supplier has agreed to hang on to the L1 Mk1 until the 29th of March so I can judge whether I need to wait for the new model or settle for the old and buy the upgrade solution .....Is the the upgrade a complete upgrade? See, if I knew a little more I could go out this afternoon and be using it on tonight´s gig. Incidentally I would think Spain is potentially the biggest market in Europe for this product. Being largely a tourist environment we have thousands of musicians working 7 days a week in all kinds of venues.....So if we have to wait for the upgrade...Dum! | ||||
