Interesting comment on Bose Speakers.....

 I’ve heard quite a few audiophile speakers that used expensive drivers in ways that...well, didn’t suit my taste. Quite a few speakers using Focal tweeters made me feel like that guy in the movie Seven Beauties who went to “better  @@%%@!. Say what you want about Bose but a Bose speaker never made me want to leave the room.

Wino.......

Not insulting anybody.....I made a comeback on 6 cent Bose drivers from previous poster....making a comparison....

I own some Bose speakers in the stable....

I love extracting a sound from an underdog with mix and match electronics and treatments.

Bose is alright by me brother.

I will put forth a value proposition for those that say they are overpriced junk.....use them for firewood ...Bose no highs no lows yadi yada...

A contact of mine invests 20k in a system....

Martin Logan Electrostatic....

High end amp and so on .....

Contacts me asking for help....

Says he cant take it.....he cant play a Classic Rock song for beans... Stand up and the speakers are horrible.....people over to listen off axis just doesnt get it....

Then the Bose guy who  plays all genres and loves them including his or her company.

Overpriced?   Really? At the end of the day I believe not.

The premium Bose system in my 2010 911 is really mediocre sounding. The only people that think it sounds good don’t know anything about audio. Modern Bose is a joke in audiophile community and no kind of praise can ever change that. There’s also no getting around the laws of physics. Cheap drivers, cheap cabinets, using resonances to make up for lack of deep bass....

This is the equivalent of someone coming onto a wine connoisseur site and claiming “my $4.99 jug of wine quenches one’s thirst as well as your expensive wine.”
