So for $4000 for 2 sticks & 2 subs plus the tone generator, then add another $2000 for the additional 4 subs, that runs $6000 just to get the sound he obviously wanted? Sorry, not worth it to me. I can get a killer sound that will fill a room without having to pierce everyones ears for half that.

25 years ago I had to use a 16 ft trailer to haul my band's PA gear around. Now, I wouldn't do that again for any amount of $$.

NO, the portability would be the benefit to the system, but the L1 system did not work for me - maybe I should've tried at least another sub, but I did not care for the sound over my current PA that I have in there now (what not supposed to have an opinion if it doesn't meet your likng?) . Again, I have not tried the model 2 & the figures I quoted (for an L1 system) are straight from musiciansfriend as far as cost (not incorrect) for a system equivalant to the one pictured above.
But even going through Bose, the price for a system equivalent to the one pictured above would run $7000 plus for the model 2.

Bose L1
Quote:
Being from the old school of sound, i really hesitated on the Bose System. Was never satisfied with the L1 even with two subs. the L2 satisfied any and all doubts that was instilled in me from using only Pro Sound Systems capable of any venue, inside or outside. If one is currently satisfied with his or her setup, likes the current sound, they would be foolish to spend even a $1000.00. This just my opinion on what i currently use and what i have used my whole career in music. muzicman ![]() ![]() ![]() |

In my off time, I ran across two acts using the L1/L2 type sytems. One was an outside acoustic act and the other was a girl singing to background tracks in a small club. I have to say I was quite impressed with what I heard. The acoustic act I saw using it outside had some feedback issues but this can be fixed with a 32 band EQ.
If I ever get to old to or tired of lifting my 2 Yamaha S115IV speakers on their stands, I will probobly get the L2 system with two bass bins. Jim ![]()

Harry if you aren't confused by now it is a miracle. To boil this all down, if you like the sound and have the money to spend on it go for it. It is your ear and wallet that has to make the ultimate decision. Good luck.

I know some folks have made brackets to attach to the back or top of the L1 for lighting. I saw one one time that someone created for hanging their guitar. Last time I noticed, Bose's official position is that they don't recomend these, but they also mention that they have to say that for liability reasons. These are on my list of things to make and use at some point but for right now I just use a couple of LCD par 35's sitting on the PS1 to illuminate the poles. |

Re: Bose L1 System
The question here was about using it for Karaoke so all the feedback about using it for bands or playing music is irrelevant correct?

I have had a lot of compliments on the sound. As far as price, I learned a long time ago, you get what you pay for! Bose knows sound!

Re: Bose L1 System
I’m looking in to the Bose L1 16 any thoughts on that I’m getting to old to lug around heavy equipment also need suggestions on wireless microphones which I have never used because I didn’t want my customers walking all over the place, you thoughts on that?

For festivals (The MC, Dignitaries, etc.), I use Sennheiser XSW 1-835 Dual microphones (~$649.00) (548-572 MHz). They have a scan feature I like for making sure I have no interference. For speakers I also have two QSC 8.2 (2,000 watt) (27 lbs. each) and two QSC CP8 (1.000 watt) (21 lbs. each) and two Bose S1-Pro speakers (~15 lbs. each). Awesome sound from them all! I am 77 with a bad back. Weight means everything to me also!
