I made the Bose blunder!

I think even if people know there is better sound quality to be had, many would still go with Bose for the ease of setup, ease of use and compact size. For most people, they want "good enough" sound and focus more on usability. They may choose better sound if it was available in a similarly simple, full-system solution; but it really isn't that I've seen. Personally, I've always thought the high end should stop complaining about how poor Bose is for the money and come up with their own solution for an easy-to-use, discreet, compact system for under 3K. If Bose is so bad and it is so easy to better them, it should be no problem, right?

The people I saw felt that Bose was the absolute best money could buy, barring none.
I picked up a Yamaha HTIB for our bedroom. The list price was $750. (paid nothing) I'll stack it up against any Bose cube system ever made.
