    Shame they don't do them in white. I can't find one if they do.
    How would the sound compare to say, a Bose L1 Steve?

    I am considering getting something like this in white for ceremonies?

    The Maui's seem like the best bet really, for design, features and simplicity.
    I really don't want to faff about - stick in the drain pipe bits, turn it on and away we go.

    Some of the other systems (especially BOSE) have too many bits and pieces.
    Even a pole for the RCF system is a bit of a pain.

    I've recently purchased a compact line array PA system, on the shortlist was the maui 5, maui 11 and a maui 28 Mix. I eventually went for the maui 28 Mix and am pleased I did, it was the correct choice for myself. I rejected the maui 5 as I didn't believe the output from a single unit would be sufficient, I rejected the maui 11 because the satellite column is too long to fit across the back seat of a car, it will only go in lengthways, this was the deciding factor for me, in all other respects I thought the maui 11 was a good speaker and up to the job I had in mind for it.

    I’m sure I’ve seen pictures of them in white, maybe only in the USA at the moment and not in Europe yet.

    I’d say a comparing them to the L1 Compacts is fair.

    One would handle ceremony or background music in any venue I’ve ever played at - what’s handy is you don’t need to use the spacer columns so it’s very inconspicuous with just the speaker column straight into the bottom unit.

    I would have to concur with Steve on this. The 5 sounds nice, punches far above its weight, and is half the price of the Curve.
    The curve sounds acceptable, and runs into the clip lights way, way too early. It really is gutless, so much so that one Curve owner at Coalville asked to try it out with the little Yamaha 8s helping it out.

    That is true, but as far as I'm concerned, lowering the column degrades the sound quality, with the unit on the floor. Whether it would work better on a stage in this configuration, I don't know.

    It can only be a matter of time until the white ones Toby. All other MAUI models are available in white (& as Martin said, I'm also sure I've seen a pic of a white one)

    Yeah, massively. Comes in 2 pieces and take approximately 30 seconds to do both...
