You can spend your hard earned dollars on lots of audio gear...Why not just jump over the rest and get the best...The BOSE L1

Sound
Hey, what can you say...It is BOSE, baby...The sound is awesome and the way it radiates throughout the entire room is superb...With standard two speaker set up you get a cone of sound and lots of dead spots...With the L1 the 24 arrayed speakers will fill the entire room evenly...Seriously, even in a far off corner the sound is replicated perfectly...I am a party DJ and I would not be without my L1 ever again...

Features
The key to the L1 is the ease of handling...Three separate components and you pack it and are on your way...The tower is in two segments and the base (amplifier) is the third piece of the audio puzzle...You get a connected remote (a tad bulky, but functional)...Less weight means less wear and tear on this old DJ when it comes to set up and tear down...Gotta luv that BOSE l1!

Ease of Use
So esy to set up and then use...Manual is short and concise...You have three tone controls for each channel on your remote and you can easily dial in the best sound for each set up...

Quality
BOSE, 'nuff said...Plus travel bags come with the gear and are sturdy and easy to load and handle...

Value
Not cheap, but worth every penny..Now I see that they have deals now and again...Every buck you put… read more into the L1 will come back to you in quality sound and performance...

Manufacturer Support
Have not had a lick of a problem, so I can not say how BOSE will handle any problems...No doubt they have support with the same quality of service that they build into their gear...

The Wow Factor
Different look than other sound systems...You'll get comments wondering how a tower can create enough sound to fill your space...Heck, I've used it in big rooms and the L1 has performed without a flaw...
