Bose Blues

Well... ...to expand on that...

....The majority of people on this board and others (including myself) consider Bose products to be inferior to similarly priced speakers from other manufacturers, some of which include B&W, NHT, Klipsch, PSB, Paradigm, Monitor Audio and countless others both in-store and online. Is this inferiority a fact? NO. Sound is completely subjective. Otherwise, people would just agree on 1 speaker to posts like "Best speaker for $500". However, scientific studies have been done like the one that describes how there is a big frequency gap between the Bose cubes and the acoustimass module, etc.

I guess the best advice is, if you haven't tried other things that were in the same price range as the AM-15s, you should have done so. If after that, you're completely content with the sound and your purchase, then you should sit down, enjoy you system and not give a flying @#%&* what anyone else says.

Well most people seem to point to the B&W 602 S3 for under $600 and those that differ seem to acquiesce into 'B&W does makes the goods'.....->thread hijack- I'm down to the 602s, Klipsch RB75s or Wharfedale Diamonds 8.4 (uk,ark,china). I wish I could do side by side but I can't. I've heard the B&W and Klipsch, both very clean, however both seem to be recommeded with a sub, so that is why I am looking at the Diamond floor standers....thanks again for your recommendations.
