Don't hate it, but you can get better for cheaper.

Bose is good if you need to have small speakers. If not, there's better for cheaper.

They are the lowest quality high end speakers. There are soooooo many better ones out there. Go to any place such as Tweeter or ABT and they will all say Bose is the worst quality speakers they carry.

A Best Buy or Circuit City might not have anything better than Bose (Unless the Best Buy has a Magnolia Center)

It's kind of like LCDs. For many people LCDs are awesome and good enough but no LCD can even compare to a Pioneer Elite Plasma.

How many speaker companys do you see have tv commercials? 1

They are just way over priced computer speakers.

The bang for the buck factor is amazingly low on Bose, and most of their components are the cheapest you can buy, and then they use processing to trick your ears

You're far better off spending the same money on quality components

Compact yes. But overpriced and greatly inferior to other products in the same price range.

Actually . . . I offered him more information than what he asked for . . . you offered him information based on your system, which, while it may be good enough for you, does not take advantage of Blu-ray's capabilities.

Then you, for whatever reason, came back with this

You're entitled to your opinion . . . as are the rest of us. I answered the guy's question and you went ape shit and belligerent. Defend your choice if you want, but when somebody offers viable advice that doesn't quite go along with what you find to be acceptable, there's no reason to start acting a fool.

I just don't know why Bose just jacks up the price of all their speakers and recievers. The only time that the price jack would work is when (if ever) they have no competition. They would just jack it up to over $50,000 for the mid range Bose speakers and recievers. Its the same story with M$ when you have to pay a good few hundred for Vista software, because they have no comp. in the software stakes (I'm not sure if Linux counts though). I think Photoshop editing software counts too. I just want cheap software and speakers.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your surround system/speaker/receiver intelligence?

1 being the worst (caveman with no electricity), 10 being god ("I invented speakers...and sound")
