Since the L1 Compact does not have that Tonematch Port connection between the unit and the T1/T4S engine like the Model 1/1S/2 does, so it has to be connected via its 1/4" input. Does that cause any inferior performance of the T1/T4S?
And second question, can the T1/T4S be used with other non-Bose speakers and still give good performance as with the Bose L1 speakers?
Thank you.

We can't know how an L1 Compact would sound if it had a ToneMatch port. However, Bose engineered the L1 Compact to be compatible with the T1 using a balanced cable connected to the L1 Compact Channel 2.
Bose engineered the L1 Compact to be compatible with the T1 using a balanced cable connected to the L1 Compact Channel 2.
A balanced connection is preferred and will provide better noise rejection over greater distances than the unbalanced connection.
This should work fine but a balanced connection (immediately above) is preferred especially if you will have cable runs in excess of 20 feet (6 meters) or if you hear line noise, hum or hiss.
See T1 to L1 Compact for details.
Bose engineered the T4S/T8S to be connected to other Bose products as a replacement for the T1
Use a balanced cable connected to the L1 Compact Channel 2. See details about cables above.

Thank you.
We have an article - please see T1 without L1
This article is equally applicable to the T4S/T8S.
All set?
