Just one more reason Bose blows!

[Aldo WIngate]

It has come to my attention that there continues to be the ridiculous and negative remarks directed towards Bose. I cannot think of a more conspicuous example of insecurity than I see when I read a thread like this. Shame in what one owns should not be a lisense to rip another company to feel superior. What about the people that have Bose? Do they not diserve the courtessy of enjoying their product that they went out and spent there hard earned money on?

Stop this madness.

I couldn't agree more....

[skeptic]

If someone no longer enjoyed owning and using an item they had previously been very happy with because a few people made some derogatory comments about it on the internet, that doesn't say very much for the product. Or for the confidence the owner has that he made the best choice for himself.

BTW, I didn't get a chance to comment on the Kenwood system because the thread was closed before I read it but I must say I agree with you. Assuming my guesses about your taste in music and your level of interest in audio equipment performance are anywhere near the mark, I'd say your system is the best you can get for yourself and you shouldn't look for anything more expensive or complex. For your needs and tastes, it is the best you will ever have.

So, I'm assuming that Bose is one of those unnamed "high end" systems that you claim your Kenwood system trounces?

I take it from your tone in this entire thread that you are a VERY angry man , Well the T-man just wants you to take ten deep breaths, and have a beer. It looks like you are tearing pages out of MY book with this kind of tirade


Did someone mention BOSE! a.....mmmmmm.....yeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk

T-man -

Maybe you caught me in some delayed post traumatic state from my last visit to NYC four years ago. I woke up, and could suddenly feel Terrence's rage, and had this urgent need to go launching missiles at something. Alas, my local military surplus outlet didn't have any on layaway, so the Bose thread had to suffice! :P

Mr. Wingate,

You sound VERY angry too If I owned a Bose system, I would be mad too. At myself, for not doing my homework, for not listening and comparing the system to other products in its price class, and for spending too much money and getting too little back.

Did I say that?

Blaming people for ignorance or belittling them for purchases doesn't really accomplish anything either (although it can be fun at times). As someone stated before BOSE thrives on advertising both on television and at Dr.s offices everywhere. If Hyundai somehow bought up all the air time used for car commercials and touted their products as the best then the masses would surely flock to Hyundai dealers because they don't know any better. (I own a Hyundai by the way... never was into the expensive cars and I do own a bose lifestyle system that was a hand-me-down that I use for computer speakers). All the people who I talk to about stereos with always ask how it compares to BOSE. All it takes is one listen. It's up to us who have ventured away from main retail stores for our audio equipment to educate our family and friends on just what is out there. Until then I think we all know how bad BOSE systems really are, but this is no basis to make other's feel bad about their decisions in life. Ignorance is bliss!! =)

Chimera,

With the internet forums like this, magazines, and word of mouth there is no excuse for buying anything Bose. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is also VERY costly. There is no reason for ANYONE to have a sheep mentality and buy a product because every other ignorant person is buying it. They should be chided and belittle of this is the case.
IMHO I don't really think this is a case of ignorance alone. Its laziness AND ignorance, and a little dose of greed on behalf of salesmen who sell this crap.

I am sorry, I am having a very hard time feeling sorry for those people who choose a name over value and performance. They should feel bad for not being so bright!

Ah, THAT'S the vintage Terrence that I remember! I told you a long time ago to let that prescription just run out, glad that took me up on it. Good to have you back, dude.
