I'd go with the EV's....

As much as I love my Bose L1 system, I've demo'd the compact and feel that it is very over priced.... there I said it... sue me.

one bose compact and two ev zxa1

the price is around the same. jokerswild u think the ev will sound better than the one L1 compact ?

I don't know for sure because I haven't heard the ZXA1's.... what I can say is that pound for pound and at the price point that they are both at the EV's would be the better value IMHO.

Keith has got a pair and when he's feeling better I may zip out to his place and get a listen to them for a point of reference.... but from all the reports I'm guessing they'd be more satisfying.

Thanks for your opinion dj rob.

I have the EVs and an L1 and have heard the compact. Hands down, go with the EVs. Heck, even 1 will probably do most nursing home gigs with ease.

+1 on the EV's. You'll have many applications that two ZXA1's can handle that one compact won't.

 

[kevwebny]

just ordered two zxa1's

just placed order for two zxa1. They have a seperate xlr/combo mic input and ajustable gain. They have a switch for full range or for running w/ a sub. There is a seperate xlr combo input for line in from mixer or audio. Thanks for all the advice.

 

[jokerswild]

I hope they work out as you need them too... overall I say good choice.

And, I bet at one heck of a deal!

I would bring at least a minimum of 4 18" subs, stacked 2 on 2 all in a row. Play a song like Boom Boom Pow and cut the highs so all you get is Bass. Then put some earplugs on all of them and make them stand in front of the insane Bass Rumble.
Should get a great massage for those weary and stiff joints. :sqerr: Music doubling as physical Therapy. Nuff said

or don't bring ANY gear and just tell them...
