In Reply to: Are Bose that bad?? posted by Jeremy on January 03, 2002 at 23:15:01:
I think Bose get a lot of negative responses because they charge way too much for what they deliver, and advertise as if they were the best.If they charge 80% less and drop their "better sound thru research" then the audiophile crowd would leave them alone.

There's a few more aspects, but they're all covered in the BOSE faq that's available on this site.For myself personally, I just find the whole direct/reflecting thing laughable.
Why should they? I agree that they are pretty bad as audiophile standards go, but they aren't trying to sell to the audiophile. They are selling to the average joe at Best Buy and Circuit City. You may not like their products, but you can't knock their ability to sell.

Yes, Bose speakers are exceptionally mediocre sounding and overpriced. But I agree that if they would stop trying to convince the public that a clock radio can produce sound on par with the best available, people would just ignore them.
