There is an interesting article in the April issue of Sound & Vision about the Bose system. I was first introduced to Bose several years ago at a Bose store, they had a theater set up where they played a short movie with sound coming from all directions, and deep booming bass something like I had never experienced. There were these large speakers high on dark walls, the experience was amazing.
When the show was over a salesman came up front and talked about the great sound from Bose speakers as they continued to play, then (I am sure) at a give point, WA-La he removed the large looking speakers (they were dummies covering) these small unobtrusive speakers with a large sound and then uncovered the subwoofer, everyone was in awe. I would have bought the whole setup on the spot, but I was a poor boy and couldn't afford diddly.
Looking back that is when I started looking into sound, good sound, better sound. When I listen to them at one of the stores sometimes I wonder if I would have been as well off getting those Bose speakers and saving all of the time and money I have spent since. The answer has always been nope. But, if I found myself in a situation where I couldn't have and enjoy the system I have now, I think I would go there. In my humble opinion they beat the hell out of a sound bar. But, that is me.
How about you?
