Lets not mention the word Bose again. 99 out of 100 people bash it and then there is one who does not. And then all of a sudden we have an audio review discussion forest fire that will just not go away. Bose is not even entry level equipment yet their price suggest otherwise. But who cares, let those suckers fall between the cracks. If you are on a sinking ship, you can only pull so many people into your raft. In fact, if I was on one of those safety rafts, I would pose the question, "are you a Bose lover," if they said yes, guess what, not only are they a Bose lover but they must also be a good swimmer.
