General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

No Bose are not all that bad

213.167.68.94

The Bose 101 is not a hi-fi speaker it is a professional monitor. It does exactly what it is designed to do. It is weatherproof, highly indistructable and can handle very high power for that class of speaker. It is used extensively by professionals for near field monitoring at live events, radio shows etc.
The 101 is also magnetically shielded which was very rare back in 1984 (I think) when it was launched.
The 101 is a great monitor and (along with all the other Bose Professional speakers) truly outstanding at what it was designed to do (IMHO).

BUT playing music in the home environment is not what the 101 was designed to do. They do make rather good rear surrounds and are quite good as centre speaker though.
