[QUOTE=3LB]All I'll say is Bose are over-priced, but then again, all speakers are. Any speaker can be replicated for a fraction of its MSRP (to a degree). Carpentry skill notwithstanding, all you need a trifle bit of math and a good source for drivers and components.

I can agree with this statement a little bit, I did build my last set of speaker for well under the cost of most decent brands, so well under the price of Bose. I would put them up against them any day, they sound good, Bose does not. But for the normal Joe who could care less about the craft of speaker components, who is just looking for something "Good" is going to fall hook line and sinker for those little boxes of horror every time.
