I hear and see that alot of you are talking about L1's. Keep in mind I asked about the Bose 802's with the Bose 302's and the EV 112's with the 118's. I have a friend running the Bose system and I wonder if there would be a difference by trying out the Ev's.
All I can say, is I'll never ditch my Peaveys.
Right now, they are holding up some shelves, with over 1.000 pounds on them (and have been doing so for about a year, without flinching).
I'm not fond of the 802's, although I have a couple customers who swear by them. Keep in mind, that's a couple, out of many, many tens of thousands.
Just my personal opinion, but I would use a set of Polks first, and that would mean somebody stole my real speakers.
Remember the even MORE important thing...
If we didn't talk about it, we wouldn't have anything else to do, and nobody would see all the great ads here...
It's exactly those absurd claims of some "acoustic hokus pokus" that create, foster, and perpetuate the controversy.Scott Mckinney and other Boseians said:...Bass that is more "heard" than "felt"...acoustic accuracy, I still prefer the BOSE ...Unrealistic bass...
Yeppers, did. Currently own a compact.Rox.....do you own or ever have owned a set of L-1/B-1's?
I will simply refer you to the following statements/posts in this thread (if you need direction to other threads with similar claims, search:triwink::I was just curious as to what "acoustic hokus pokus" you were referring to. BOSE uses several feedback algorithms which is basically preset notch filters for certain mikes and preset EQ settings for certain instruments but for the most part, the tri-amp 2 way system is nothing more than an electronic crossover with tops going to the uppers sticks and bass going to the subs as you would with any other bi-amped system. No real hokus pokus there.
Just wanting to understand what hokus pokus you feel is going on.

...Their DSPs are amazing and they take seemingly ordinary 4" drivers and created great sounding audio with extraordinarily wide dispersion and some sort of steering that I really don't understand.

Rox, you are a mess LOL!
I simply provide the requested BS.
