Both the Bose and the Energy are equal in setup difficulty as they
both require little mounts/stands and as for wires - gosh - any
speaker wire will do.

But we shouldn't foget that the Bose comes with wires that are
already terminated on one end. They also have a very nice large
fold-out system diagram. Of course this means nothing to you
and me; but to many consumers this is no small matter.

If you're suggesting that Bose markets their systems primarily to
the clueless, I doubt that you will get many arguments on that.
