True enough, and the compact Bose doesn't have a very long "line array" to it's even further from theoretical than the others. But still, they work very well in my experience.
If you're trying to fill a bar/restaurant that holds 100 people or less, and you're a vocalist with a guitar, I don't think the system can be beat for its practicality, sound, and ease of use and setup/teardown.
The system does a fantastic job of spreading the sound out in the room and letting people in the back be able to hear without deafening those up front.
If your intent is to blow the place out with deafening volume, it's not the right tool.
