bought them in '87, and they've done the job over the years but now the kids are gone and we moved into a new house with open living dining area, lots of bare floor.

I thought they were great until I heard my neighbour's Mordant Short (sp?) speakers. Cool looking pointy spears that support them on pennies on each corner. The sound is wonderful, his home is similar in open, bare space.

So can I tune the Bose back to OK or better, or has this generation gone and I need to replace them? The base seems too strong and flat, and the standard complaint of the 200-400 MHz range missing is really apparent.

Help out an old guy if you can?

TIA, Jim
