[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 130639, member: 162"] Re: Opinions on BOSE 802 Series II (2) PROFESSIONAL LOUDSPEAKER ??!! Hi John. Welcome to the forum. With proper processing, the 802 series sounds OK. The proper processing is the Bose system controller. There are a couple versions of this - an older analog version, and a newer digital version. If the speakers come with this controller, they may be worth considering. Without the controller, they are worthless. As to comparing them to other speakers, the 802 is very wide dispersion, and not hugely loud. If the rooms you are using them in are not super huge and you're not expecting bone-crushing levels, I think at the right price (with the controller), they aren't a bad deal. If you can get the speakers, the controller, and an amp for $500, I would go for it. If you have $750, I would make a different choice, and instead try to find a pair of used QSC K12, QSC HPR122i or even Mackie SRM450. Self-powered speakers are much more convenient, and the above will sound better and go louder than the Bose. [/QUOTE]
