A friend of mine asked me "Why _not_ Bose?" and I really don't have an
answer
for her. I know audiophiles routinely revile the brand, but that's not an
excuse I'm comfortable sharing. It's not one I can either defend or
expound on.

I recall reading a very good point-by-point analysis here (or somewhere
people
here would be familiar with) that takes apart Bose (both the speaker and
the
myth), exposing what a really shoddy piece of workmanship a Bose speaker
is.
It's technical, but not incomprehensible.

I only paid partial attention because I'd never buy anything by Bose, so I
had
no reason to read any more deeply. I've seen it a couple of times in the
last
few years, including sometime this winter.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
