where's the highs-where's the lows?- goodness gracious must be bose...a little dittie learned in my younger days from a bose factory rep. I only have consumer equipment experiance with them gained when I was an unskilled salesman I think they make some nice speakers with good price points. I think they fall down with the way they market the product-causing some people to not like the company. its pretty easy to make a good 4.5 inch driver for not much money. so they take a pile of 4" drivers hook 'em to an eq box and presto-top of line bose901.the company staged "events" with audio video presentations supported by very strong company sales people. That's fine for them -but most audio is traditionally sold by comparison. i think if the 901's were as good as some of bose's other products people would have no problem. But they pitch them as a product of genius -the ultimate speaker at any price- becuse dr. bose is so smart he could make the ultimate speaker. then they used almost the same pitch with the lifestyle system(sounded real bad when it first came out) . salespeople were expected to support this dog and pony show-but some obviously would feel the money was spent on promotion -not value to the customer-or spiffs to the salesperson-and resent it. thus the negitive feeling about bose. a fine capitalist company
