After serious scientific analysis, deep listening sessions, and long soul
searching, I've reached the audio nirvana and have come to a reasoned and
balanced conclusion:
In an independent market research study recently reported by the Luxury
Institute, wealthy consumers rated the Bose Corporation the most
prestigious
luxury audio brand in the 2007 Luxury Brand Status Index. Additionally,
Bose
was cited as the leader in the 2007 Luxury Web site Effectiveness Index for
audio brands.
That's good enough for me. Ultimately, I want to be seen as a wealthy
consumer and get the cachet that comes with owning Bose products and
diplaying them in my home.

Gahd, I hope you're being sarcastic!
I'm deadly serious.
Too bad. Bose stuff is overpriced junk. I went to a Bose demonstration once
where the demonstrator was playing a huge pair of floor-standing speakers. He
was telling everyone how great they sounded. All I heard was lots of
distortion. Then, after pumping these huge speakers as the best thing since
sliced bread, he took the grills off the speakers revealing that they weren't
speakers at all, just frames around some small stands holding a pair of those
tiny Bose cubes. They were still distorted. I have a friend who has a "Wave
Radio" in her kitchen. The "amazing bass" is boomy and mostly one note, and
above a whisper, it too is distorted.
Bose is a prime example of success through hype, obfuscation by advertising,
snob appeal by high price. No thanks.
