LD Systems Maui 11 G2

I bought this to replace the heavy old PA system I had been using for solo gigs. It's made my job a lot easier and my back is thanking me!
The first system I bought had a fault so I had to send it back and wait for a replacement which took far too long as one of my returned parcels got lost in the post, so I was without a PA for 4 weeks.
I'm happier now I've got one that works. I can now fit into a much smaller playing area because this is so compact. And I don't need monitors any more.
The sound quality is very good and I love having the ability to adjust the sub and main volumes independently. I get a great vocal sound now, especially with the addition of my little sound craft mixer, and my acoustic guitar can be both warm and punchy.
I've used the Bose system before and I'd say that for pub gigs there's so little difference in quality to be almost indistinguishable. Except they cost about a third of the price.
I'm so happy I'm going to get a second one so I can link them for the larger venues.
I love the bluetooth feature. And the sound quality when playing music from my phone is awesome. These would be brilliant for DJs. And I imagine they'd be brilliant as drum monitors on a big stage. There are so few feedback problems. The only time I have a problem is with the low end of my guitar, but now I'm using a feedback buster on the guitar there's no problem.
It sounds best when the PA is more than about 5 or 6 feet away so when I have a little more room in a venue I put it as far away as I can, then I'm getting exactly the same sound as the audience. Too close and it's a little too warm and boomy, so I end up dialling down the bottom end only to find the guitar is too thin for the audience. I found a happy medium after a few attempts and now I have to do little more than plug in and play in my regular venues.

I bought a pair of these to replace our old Peavey system which had been on the go for nearly 20 years. I spent a lot of time weighing up different systems for what we needed (usually a 3 piece band, 2 acoustics, cajon and 3 vocals but sometimes up to 6 members) and finally settled on the the LD Maui 11G2. I originally ordered 1 new unit and 1 B stock. I had problems with the B Stock but Thomann were extremely helpful and facilitated a replacement.

Firstly, the design. The system is well built and looks very slick. They feel extremely well built. We've had plenty of compliments and inquiries since we got it. The system is quite portable but the bins are pretty heavy. Secondly, and most importantly, the sound. It's incredible. I've used it for 3 piece gigs, 6 piece gigs and also with Ableton for electronic gigs, and the sound quality is amazing. I've used them as monitors when I'm mixing tracks in Ableton and Pro Tools and find them excellent. I use an old Behringer PMP1680s mixer and find it great, but I imagine with a top quality mixer you'd be able to coax and even better sound out of the system. We use it mainly for small-medium sized pubs and function rooms, up to 80-100 people max. Anything larger than that and you're pushing it and might want to consider the Maui 28 G2. One big issue I had with the system is that it doesn't come with covers for the bins and tops and they aren't cheap to buy separately. Overall though I'm very happy with the purchase and would happily recommend them.
