The Great Speaker decision Is NOW within reach.

[Jim Clark]

As for the sarcasm and the silly put downs of a product that people spend their money on, some obviously are being snobs about the issue.

It's as if some of you are the "authority" or "the voice of reason", and if some mere mortal or feeble minded shlep dare buy something oither than what you own or recommend, they need a social worker for a month of counselling.

Excuse me - aren't you the same yakoff who proclaimed your speakers as "numbere (sic) one" and "the best"? Look up ironic and if you need more, try moronic.

Who is going to read all that crap?

Do not, under any circumstances try to read. It could result in knowledge, which in the wrong hands is dangerous.

The format and idea of a place to come and chew the fat and learn from others is great. But if somebody comes in here and uses something that doesn't meet your approval, then that person is shunned or ridiculed.

I can't believe that the snobbery that is usually associated with A/V gear also runs rampant on a message board.

I can't believe that anyone with such a juvenile moniker and crappy spelling of overly indulgent opinions expects to be taken seriously.

Flo- I think it is the troll that is on the floor laughing. Everything in his original post was designed to get a reaction. (Bose-Best Buy salespeople-spelling errors)
Not as a defense of Bose but your statement " In some cases, Bose's patents are small refinements of long-established techniques" is intended to be a put down of Bose but really shows an ignorance of the history of technology. Most inventions are small refinements of long established techniques- they just apply the technology in a different way. Computers can actually trace their beginnings back to weaving looms! If as you say a company wants to build a marketing campaign around their "patented" technology they have a right to do so. In fact many companies do, but keep in mind it is not the company that determines when/if something gets a new patent-It is the Patent Office.The consumer is the ultimate judge of technology in the market place and while Ad campaigns can confuse the issue, in the long run they can not make up for a products shortcomings.

Don't worry i don't like BOSE one bit
I was trying to remain neutral and instead of bashing the living hell out of it, i was trying to show a different side. I am currently in the process of learning and accepting that some people have different opinions

PS: Where is daddy anyways?

PPS: I was actually a hated customer at the Katey Mills Mall in Houston Texas (BOSE store )because i always i asked questions after the show that made BOSE look like the crap it is!

"I am currently in the process of learning and accepting that some people have different opinions"

IMO that last quote is what more people should take to heart. In my short time in this forum I have realized that it almost all comes down to personal preference. Too often in todays world personal opinion is portrayed as facts and that is where we get in to trouble.

Brand loyalty is what the manufacturers covet but the reality is we consumers should may be using it as a starting point and not a starting and ending point. I own Bose and I can not defend the statements that started this thread. I like what I have and hopefully when time/budget and other factors allow I will be able to get a chance to look at and buy other equipment.Everyone just needs to keep an open mind about their equipment and the equipment of others.

Thats true, and one of the reasons why i simply do not want any other speaker that i own right now, exept the 108000$ Perigee Definitve. I do not know of any other speaker that i like more, and test or no tests (even though the test always ends up extremely good) you need to decide it for yourself.
