The single sub just doesn't cut it. The difference between the L1 and the L2 is night and day. I sold the L1 w/2subs and bought the L2 w/subs. The sound adjustment is just like any mixer i have ever used, requires no additional knowledge. Wouldn't trade it for anything up to 600 seat venue, two L2's for up to 1000 seat capacity without losing sound quality that i'll match with anyone. And, i don't call $3400 cheap for a quality sound system. As i have said, i have had mixers that cost more than that alone.

Again, I tried out the system, it did not fit my club. They want LOUD with BASS THUMPIN sound, the Bose did not fit that bill. We run live band sound levels & they want to FEEL the bass!
I can see it fitting clubs that huge volume is not an issue and pumping bass response.

You stated you tried the L1 with one sub. That don't cut it. The L2 with 2Subs do cut it and if you want more you can use 4subs. Currently when i play clubs that want the pumping bass, i can make the stage vibrate. I have played with top pro equipment, complete band. I KNOW sound. I have played 1000 seat clubs and have never used over half the volume on this system.
I can appreciate your opinion as to what you have used, but the Bose L2 with 2 or more subs is the real deal. Volume, pumping bass, quality sound, its there or you can bet your last dollar i certainly wouldn't be using it OR talking about it.

The point is for me, I can't see spending the money on the system. I know if I need more bass I can add more subs, but for the price that I would need to spend, a really nice PA system can be purchased that I won't need to keep adding more subs to get the sound I want.
For a compact standpoint, they sound ok, I really wasn't impressed personally - again this was based on the L1 system - 2 sticks & 1 sub and was not using the processor as they (music store) did not have it in stock yet, but assured me it wouldn't be needed with the front end I already had on the PA.
Now granted I have not tried or heard the L2 model.

My competitor friend plays mostly small venues (small bars, clubs, where seating cap is less than 75....

With a good quality sub, I prefer a couple dozen of these

Bored are we guys???

Wouldn't it be great to be able to add one of these to your system too.

marklwood · #10 March 26th, 2009, 06:11 PM

I already have these

Harry,

These testers are getting bored because Hoster 4.08 is running without any new complaints to troubleshoot! Please consider what idle minds ( good ones at that -- in most cases! Ha!) must do to entertain themselves! LOL

I went over to the Bose forum and plucked out this photo!

This guy has an awesome setup for DJ'ing, and he didn't even have the T1 (mixer / effects) included yet!

This is a little overboard... but if you need pro sound bass, this would have the windows rattling a bit!

Even with the Classic L1 system, with 2 bass modules that I run presently, I can clean out the cobwebs from the rafters!
