I sold my Bose L1s B2 ( amazing sound and presence but too heavy &too big for my needs) and replaced it with the Bose Pro 8. I gig a fair bit solo (sax +backing tracks) and wanted something lighter but with the big Bose sound.
This system is great, its very compact and light, quick to set up and get running. The sound is excellent with great penetration and presence. The onboard reverb is really good and bluetooth means no wires ( I also now use a bluetooth mic) and there’s an app thats pretty easy to use.
Negatives? Well , it’s not cheap but in my view worth it and it ticked nearly all my wishlist boxes. Except…the wobbly column spacer , how Bose didn’t correct that before going to market I don’t understand, it’s Beta test product quality, and there’s a small niggle that there’s no master volume control which is an oversight.
Otherwise…GREAT. I often play outside events and the sound is bug enough for upto 100 people in my view.
One more thing, the Thomann Cover is an excellent fit and great quality.
