I have noticed that many members here bash BOSE, but other than saying they are too expensive, have no other reason. My surround system is a 6.1 with 601 IV fronts, 201 sides and 161 centers and a svs pci 2531 sub. Personally, i think that my system sounds awesome, and have compared many speakers. Why is it that most people here hate the direct and reflecting technology Bose uses so much compared to the typical only direct? Personally, i wouldnt buy any of there CUBE setups, but then again, i have room for larger speakers. For the size, I do think they are awesome though. Bose also has so many other technologys such as NOISE cancelling and the various audio adjusting features in car audio that uses a mic to balance things. I have had a Mercedes Benz, a corvette, and now an Avalance with BOSE and many other companies support them such as Acura, Maytag, the list goes on.. Just wondering if most people have a justified reason for straight out hating BOSE, or if it just the trendy, easy thing to say? Im not trying to start a war, It just seems that many people are closed minded with all the technology's Bose has to offer compared to most, if not all other speaker companies.
