I will say this though, back in the mid eightys and early ninetys, bose used
to sell music. They had quite an extensive music catilogue which you could
order from. They sent it out free to all costumers who requested it via the
800 number. I bought tuns of cassettes and cd's, even before when they sold
tuns of vinal, I stocked up on all kinds of goodies. How funny is it that
now, they stop selling music but they sell the things you can play the music
on.

i think as with any brand or model of anything, there are always those who
feel it could be better.
Bose sound systems are when compared to other systems one of the highest
quality in audio reproduction that is availible at a reasonable price.  Yes,
they are the most expensive in allot of cases, but remember there are custom
manufacturers that cost 10's of thousands for a basic home stereo system and
that is because they are the best you can possibly get.
Bose tries to compare to that but at the same time keep their prices
affordable.
For the technology you are getting, at the price you are paying, i think
bose probably is the best quality and deserves its reputation for quality
and excellence.
