"Jeff is NOT even using the Bose equalizer in this review and these speakers do sound MUCH better when you use the equalizer too !...."
Why do you think the reviewer is not using the equalizer? The review includes a picture of it plus some detail on the sonic effect of the various controls. Interestingly, the reviewer says the bass button acts like a loudness button, but the Bose manual specifically states that it is not a bass enhancement switch and is not intended to boost the bass response of the speaker; from the specifications (-6 dB at 35 Hz), it seems to serve more as a bass attenuation switch. The Stereophile review of an older version mentions this same switch, and that it can be useful in alleviating bass resonances that are a function of the room dimensions.
