[The Bard Rocks]

As I recall the weight of my Bose L1 Compact is 27 lb - not sure where you got your figure. The Fishstick 220 was a bit heavier, but not that much more. Actually, the two are about the same by the time I add in a small mixer, which I need for the Bose but didn't feel I needed as much for the Fishman). I extensively compared the two a few years back (it's in the AG files somewhere) and thought both were very good - and finally went with the Bose as it complemented my voice a bit better. No regrets. The Bose definitely had better bass, but I don't get off on that much and allowed other things to sway my reasoning.
