Well, they do put junk into junk these days. All one has to do is measure the speakers, and you quickly know just how bad they truely are.

So true, again the luxury auto makers just see this as another premium brand (not premium quality) to try to justify the overpriced hunk of metal they call a car.

Its funny that in their commercials they always have middle-aged or older people talking about their products. I guess Bose is subliminally saying that those who buy their products are either tone deaf and cannot notice the nuances they produce, or stupid since they typically don't have a good knowledge or understanding of the other options out there which would be better. And of course the fact that age group has more disposable income to buy their expensive and over-priced equipment.

Oh by the way, if you couldn't tell, I don't care for Bose products.

I am a sales manager at a custom home theater store. I wanted to sell bose and have them displayed in my showroom. They had told me that i had to have an entire room dedicated to bose products and I was not allowed to compare them with my other displays.

When doing research on the company, I found out that the creator had no experience in electronics but had a doctorite in marketing. I guess if you told enough people enough times that your product was the best, someone would buy into it.

I suggest Tannoy or KEF

Bose's home theater in a box solution is a) expensive b) has no upscaling function for DVD playback c) has no DTS decoding capability. They are still selling this overpriced unit.

You tell me if they are a forward-looking progressive company.

Their newest deal is that you can get the same sound from a 2 speaker setup (theirs) that you can from a 5.1/7.1 setup at the same cost. Lol.

Go figure.

Wow!! I never noticed it before, but Bose does always have there stuff off to the side or in there own little room. More snake oil from the marketing department. The only thing slicker than Bose is them people over at monster cables.

Speaking of monster products:

Want to have some fun? go into an Ultimate Electronics and get a proposal on a home theater system. When they hand it to you tell them to remove all Monster products from the estimate. The saleskid will turn pale as a ghost and may pass out. They receive a larger commission if a certain percentage of products are Monster.
