I told him that he could get better performance in the same price range with many other manufacturers. he says to why does bose sell more speakes than any other manufacturer? i said its all marketing.
i ask him what other brands have you listened to in the same price range to come up with all that? he says none! i dont have to. bose is the best there is nothing can compare. i ask him if he knows that most bose drivers use paper tweeters and cheap foam surrounds on the woofers. he says it doesnt matter. I ask him why they dont list any specifications he says again it doesnt matter. at this point the conversation was over, my brotherinlaw is fuming at this point, his attitude was how dare you say bose is not that good. my brother linlaw asks me what brand did you buy? I said well i didnt buy a brand i bought sound. he shrugs his head confused.

well about an hour later we are watching a movie with my siser and him
und and he starts asking me how do i adjust the center speaker so i can hear what they are saying? he says also why do i get that distorted sound out of my left surround?

At this point i told him that he would have been BETTER OFF WITH SOMETHING ELSE and walk out of his living room laughing hysterically. my sister is now mad at me for making that comment. oh well guess you cant argue with the fact that bose is the best
That's funny...and typical.
