Often I read the Bose topics and find the so called "Bose Bashers" simply say Bose is crap and go on to list all the reasons why you should not buy a Bose product, lack of research, inferior materials, poor design, you get the picture. Quite often they pont out that you can buy better gear that will deliver deep but not muddy bass, clear mids and crisp highs. Most of the time the set-up compared to Bose cost more. No surprise there. In most cases price equals better performance and/or quality. Ok, if you had $900 to $1,000 to spend for a 5.1 sub/sat system that would out perform the Bose Acoustimas III 10 Sub/Sat what would it be and why?
