Answer 1

I have to agree 100% with the above poster, BOSE is a giant marketing company who spend all their money and research on marketing and very little on the actual product.

They're the only company that doesn't issue specs on the performance of their products because they know, as the intellexual article linked above shows, that their frequency response is complete garbage.

Answer 2

No reputable audio reviewer has ever rated Bose highly. Their speakers are, at best, mediocre and can easily be beaten by numerous other products from reputable companies ... for a lot less money (See 1st link). Bose is for the gullible and wealthy ... not people who know and appreciate good sound. Do yourself a favor and look at something ... almost anything .. else (See the 2nd link for a starting point ... and note the complete absence of Bose products). As for electronics look at Yamaha, Pioneer, Denon, NAD, etc .... not Bose.

All you pay for when you buy Bose is the logo on the speakers. Their most expensive home theater systems cost $150 to $200 to make, and they're charging thousands for them. For much less money you can have better, and for the same money you can have even better than that. Bose spends millions of dollars on marketing and advertising so their products will appear to be high end to "the average Joe." The price tag is even part of that marketing. The Acoustimass 15 should cost about $300, they charge about $1200 for it, and the high price makes it seem good. The best thing about Bose is that it is small. That's it. But then Orb Audio overtakes Bose in smallness, and they do in-home trials so you can even try their stuff to see if you like it before you decide to keep it (orbaudio.com).

But as I was saying, Bose rips you off. And maybe it sounds good in the store, but think of the circumstance there. In the store displays for their 5.1 systems, they have the speakers laid out close together with the rears on big poles behind you. The sound is incredible because it only has a very small amount of space to fill. And it sounds better than other systems because other systems aren't setup like that. If they were, Bose would sell less. It's the same with the 321 systems. The speakers are close together and they crank them up a lot. And let me tell you about something you don't notice at the store but will notice at home. The small speakers can't go low enough. They can't go as low as regular speakers should. So that subwoofer has to fill in, meaning it has to go much higher in the sound spectrum than a standard subwoofer can. Not only does that mean it won't be able to make the really low notes, but it means you will hear all sorts of things coming out of it that should come from the speakers (voices, sound effects, etc). You don't notice this in the store because all the speakers are so close together, and you're right up there with them. So it seems like one big full range system when it's not.
