BOSE Acoustimass/Lifestyle systems - why you should steer clear!!

[Yautja]

I must say this was an interesting read, a few years back myself & a friend went to a HI-FI expo (Sydney-Australia) and we did walk into the BOSE sound-room I must say they were very organised & very helpful with their customers we even got a free shirt from them but after having heard their demo I wasn't impressed at all, I walked out of there very disappointed, there's far better systems that out-perform BOSE big time, I guess I also did my good deed of the day because my friend was determined to get a BOSE system but I told him let's go to some of the other sound-rooms, like NHT, ENERGY, B&W and several others, in the end he realised BOSE wasn't what he was expecting, he could not believe the difference in sound quality, he ended up getting a nice NHT system
