I really like the sound system. Easy to setup and sounds great. 3 stars because PA quit working less than 2 years after purchase. Main power supply shorts on/off. I put out help request on bose forum but didn't get a response.

Your general opinion of this product.
This system is easy to handle, quick to set up, and sounds incredible. I consider it well worth the money I spent.
Top quality. Doesn't feel "cheap" but rather well made.
This system is so compact and easy to work with. I can put the whole thing in the trunk of my small car and still have room for my mics and cable bag.
The amazing sound it the best feature followed by the compact size.
I use this system in churches of various sizes and it never fails to amaze me. It fills the entire room with full bodied sound. when I get into really large places (gymnasiums, etc) I and another pair of speakers and an amp just to help cover the area, but the Bose provides all the clarity and punch.

L1 Model 2 with tone match ,owner and user

Bose built in quality and inovation. Very dependable with top notch service after the sale.
The 2 units I have are used for giging and in the studio. All the features are well thought out. The only thing we wish the base unit had was a full mix direct line out not just a Bass line out. It has a line in wich is useful when we sub mix more inputs to the unit than the Tone match will take. We have a small beringer mixer we use also.
It takes more time to set up my amplified Harmonica rig than to set up the Two Bose units up. We timed the Bose set up time for 2 units at 20 min. total.
Fantastic. If you put trash in it thats what you get out. If you have great tone and vocals that's what comes out of the speakers, it dosent cover up/ hide bad vocals or musical talent.
Your general opinion of this product.
We liked the 1st unit so much we purchased another 3 months later. Now I have added a Bose Compact to my collection for a personal monitor and for a smaller practice/ gig amp. By the way we are a 4 peice Rock/ Blues band and also do small Acoustic patio gigs at local resturaunts.

Never played through anything like this... Ever!

It's very well made. The only thing I found to be a little flimsy is the ToneMatch bracket mount.
If you're used to lugging around the typical PA and a monitor or two; this is a game changer. The only thing I wish Bose would do given all the $$ spent on a system would be to make hardshell cases standard.
Easy setup. The tonematch engine is very intuitive to use. Taylor 310ce and a Shure SM58 set to the "singer/songwriter" scene and done...
I've played though some amazing house systems and have quite a nice system too. This..... is a game changer.

WOW!

Built like a tank but don't treat it like one.
Ease of use and the sound is same no matter where you are in the room. The only feature I would add is a lower price tag.
No more backaches from hauling and setting up heavy, bulky PA cabs. Setup in 1/4 the time. Extremely easy to use. I use 2 of these for FOH and monitors (set up behind the band) so we replaced (2)18" sub cabs, (2)2-15" w/horn cabs, 4 monitors, all the cables and power amps with this Bose setup. We run everything through a Mackie 1640i then into the Bose setup.
The sound/tone is amazing. It is the same throughout the room. But remember, if you put crap into it you'll get crap out of it.

Fantastic System!

I've only had my system since December so I can't attest to its dependability and reliability. However, it is a quality constructed product and I anticipate no issues with it.
Ease of use, portability, versatility, and most of all, overall sound quality
You can literally buy this at the store, take it to a gig, unpack it, and set it up to get a good sound. I've done it! But, if you read the manuals and take time to learn the system you'll get some great sounds out of it.
I play in a 4-piece classic rock and blues ensemble. Bass, drums, two electric guitars, and 3 vocals. We replaced the monitor system and the FOH mains since purchasing the Bose. Before the Bose, we would often get comments about how tight we were as a band and compliments on a particular song. Now we get those, plus we get people telling us the overall sound of the band is the best they've heard in those club settings. The music is balanced with the vocals and the vocals are crisp and clear.
