Neither B&O nor Bose offer good value for money.

**That would be YOUR opinion. For many of those who purchase B&O, it offers
a sense of style not provided by other products and, hence, represents good
value. Bose, OTOH, represents extremely poor value for money, since other
products can offer more for less. I suggest to you, however, that, due to
the prescence of wasteful output autoformers, that McIntosh amplifiers
represent spectacularly bad value for money.

Most Bose equipment
is poor in absolute terms whereas B&O is somewhat more presentale
technically, but both are horribly overpriced and a sure sign of
yuppity.

**And again: That is YOUR opinion. In a pure sonic sense, few arguments can
be made to defend B&O (and none for Bose), but with it's unique styling, B&O
may be the only alternative for many buyers.
