One of the best reviews I’ve seen. Would like to see what they are like outside. I do wonder if they would lack when out in front of a large crowd in an open space.
Almost same setup as you guys. XR18 plus Powered PA. Were running thru an RCF Evox J8 setup and love its portability, size and weight. Only nitpick is the tops volume is not independent from the Sub. So to get more volume from the tops, the sub also goes up. Not a biggie or dealbreaker but it would have been nice. Great choice on the Bose. Its amazing how much low end they are able to produce and the clarity is just killer.
I've been a dj since 1983 ... had all Speakers LOL ... The Bose F1 812 sounds like a winner ... Probably need 2 sets for a Basketball Gym 😂 Prom .. Daaaaymm sounds amazing as in when it comes to being picky as I am ... when it comes to quality .. I use Yamaha for the budget hehe ... since 1993 to the Present .. Being 60 years old .. I think I will go for the F1 812s and sell all the Yamahas and the base bottoms 18 inch and 15 inch .. Gees Heavy VS F1s lol.... Great Video ... Thanks
I consider this speakers for a 250 square metres dance school. Do you think this is a good choice to take 4 Tops and two subs? And is this the best sound you can get at this price point, or is there any alternative?
It's a bit over based on the decibles you are going to produce, but in all essence yes should be applicable. 250 square meters is huge, it's as big as my house 4x and including the 7 car parking lot :) @@JK41O1

Do you need to use speakers management processor or connect directly from the board for live band? Thanks. I wonder how does it sounds like after 75 feet. Thanks in advance
I really appreciate this video. We are a 5 piece rock band like you guys. We want to run two electric guitars using Axe FXIII and a bass guitar plus a mic'd up drum kit with three vocals. Do you think it would cope with all that? Great band by the way!
Really good video mate, was looking at these as a downsized rock band PA as my older system is big and heavy. Did you find they had enough volume overall? Did you have much headroom left or were you running the system almost at its capacity? That's the only reason I haven't jumped into a portable column system yet, concerned the volume won't be there if I need it in future. Cheers!
We haven't really cranked it up yet, but It's enough for small to medium-sized indoor and covered patio gigs. These definitely feel louder and closer to a typical PA than a Bose L1.
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro cool man, thanks very much! I'll try and get my hands on one to test before parting with my money! Unfortunately where I live here in Tasmania, Australia we don't have any retailers that provide a 'try before you buy' options and their return policies aren't as generous as Sweetwater's is................my current setup is great but lugging massive 18 inch subs and tops is a pain hence why I want to downsize but still have plenty of volume on tap
@@davidwicksmusic did you have any luck testing a system out? I’m toying with the idea for our 4-piece pub-rock band up here in Brissie, but only in the very initial stages of research atm.
@@matt69cp Hey mate, unfortunately I haven't tested a Bose system yet, I still plan to but am also considering a column/stick PA set up as well! I do a mix of trio cover band gigs, as well as acoustic solo gigs so really want to find a PA that suits both! If I get around to trying the Bose, I'll reply back here! Currently we use 2 X 18 JBL subs and Yamaha DBR12 tops and it's decent, but so much to lug for the venues we play!
