Just curious. Doesn't standing in front of this setup when you need to project to a bigger audience make it uncomfortably loud?

With conventional speakers that is a problem, but the Bose system spreads the sound very effectively as the last post suggests. I play at a restaurant on a weekly basis and people can now hear throughout the room in an amazing way. I never got complements from the back of the room before. And the sound they're hearing is clear. It was a chunk of change, but I'm a believer.

One of the curious aspects of the Bose Technology is how balanced the volume is near and far. Of course if you are right in front of the tower it is louder but get a few feet away and you'll be amazed how comfortable it is....When playing larger venues I use two L1 Type IIs and the one that is further away from me I turn up more than the one I am closer to....hope this helps. I have stood for years in front of floor monitors that just made my ears ring all night after the shows....this is NOT the case with BOSE.....Dr. Bose was a genius. Don't believe me go try one.Moon Dog

Do not get in front of this speakers system. Place them in a 45 degree angle to get the most out of them

Most of the time I do my gigs with the L1 with ToneMatch about 8 ft behind me.. in cases of a bigger room where I need to play louder, I place the L1 with Tonematch at my side. I can turn it up louder and I hear it just as clear with no feedback.

If there's a bedroom right above they're going to hear it. Regarding neighbors, if you're in a multi-unit townhouse our something similar they're going to hear it as well. If you're in a SFR it's no problem unless you're screaming like Bruce Lee. Regardless, my suggestion would be to add a good strong spring to your set-up to take stress off the wood beam/mount and to also reduce noise somewhat.

Mine is set up with plenty of space on each side, but based on how it's constructed, I can't see that as an issue. The subwoofer is beneath the unit and the primary mid range speakers are in front. If anything, a more confined space may actually enhance the sound. Good luck

No ...but if it did it would blast your ears !... It really is a fabulous sound......you don't need to have it that close to feel as though its in the same room .....hope that helps

For the most part, yes, if the others are speaking at, let's say, crowd level. One would have to cover the mic. That would be to cancel out the background speaking. The listener will hear voices, but not necessarily be able to understand what is being said.I hope that this was helpful.

It's noisy. high pitch sound, but not unbearable. It's noticeable for sure, so try to place it far away from where you'll be sitting.

It is LOUD. A bit unflexible as it will be where your electric jack is, unless you use an extension cord. And have some latency but for movies you can delay the video to fix it.

Yes it is loud enough... I had a party of about 75 and the volume wasn't turned up all the way and it projected very well. I got it for my daughter's 10th birthday but now we use it for everything. I love it

Not at all. I have a big room with high ceilings and this soundbar fills the room with deep sounds.

No. The loudest it gets is on Plama High. I run mine on Plasma Medium in the bedroom where I watch TV. Doesn't bother me.

It's not that bad. It is noticeable when the unit is first turned on, and before playing video/audio. But in a moderately sized room, with the video/audio at normal levels (and especially at high levels during louder scenes), it is barely noticeable if at all. It could be considered bothersome by some, in a small room, when the video/audio are quieter.

Simply, yes. I show mine on the side of my garage. Use a dvd player with a small amp. and two outdoor speakers. The sound is not great from the projector. Monthly shows followed by chairs and beers around the fire.

Whether it's loud or not really depends on who's the one listening. It's better to go find a store which sells this projector and hear it for yourself.From my experience with the Optoma HD20 DLP projector, I can't say it's loud, nor can I say it's quiet. This projector sits right beside the couch where I sit. It's as loud as my PS3, which isn't very loud at all. I haven't had any issues with it - and that's saying a lot. I absolutely hate any disruptions during movies.

If it is,I haven't noticed any difference.I think it gets the sound out into the area better than sitting on the floor.I'm very happy with the stand.It also makes the controls easier to get to.

That is a surprising question as I can't answer it. I've often sat behind the projector during our computer club meetings where we talk about what we have showing on the screen and I've never noticed the fan noise. If it has noise it hasn't been objectionable or distractive.

I love mine. I am not sure how one would hear fan noise over any theater system. The benefit of led is no heat, so minimal fan. Whoever commented can't have a projector with led light source.

I think there will be better options....Smallish room it's fine...wide open or large rooms? Great sound, but with lots of people there I think it would be less than what would be ultimately needed.
