I amd a solo artist who changed to Bose from my old PA system and I now have three gigs under my belt with the L1 M1. All three have exceeded my expectations in terms of sound quality and ease of set-up/tear-down. I, like many others, have received unsolicited comments from audience members complementing my sound as being really clear and full without being overpowering.

I recently purchased a Compact for my smaller gigs and I did my first gig with it today. It was an outdoor Christmas Party and several people came up to me following the gig to tell mer how great I sounded. The Compact was able to do the job and I never even had to pull the Model 1 out of the car (a Toyota Yaris). The Compact is just another great tool for us to use and I couldn't be happier. Thanks guys at Bose for the super system. Oh, my back thanks you too

Great to hear (pardon the pun). I have a couple of L1 model II's with a number of B1's but I am really thinking I would love to get a compact for situations where I don't need quite as much as a model II. For guitar I use the POD HD500 straight into the L1, my other guitar player loved my sound so much he wound up getting an HD500 and then the compact. What a great portable guitar rig. I'm envious sometimes when he walks in, one trip and sets up in 2 minutes. Pretty cool!! Oh and it sounds great!!
