I just started dating a woman who owns this system, and she was so proud of it that I simply didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. On our third date she took me back to her apartment where we watched a DVD: beautiful plasma TV, horrendous Bose hunkajunk. The only reason I kept my mouth shut was because she's incredibly hot and I wanted to be there for breakfast the next morning.
But it took a lot of drinks for me to sit through this audio nightmare: male voices often came out of the so-called "bass module" instead of the tiny and tinny little satellites, and those voices were mixed in with the smeared, flabby mid-bass coming out of the box...totally localizable mid-bass. The music (we watched "Amadeus") was completely hollow-sounding, like listening to a boombox. During a few musical peaks there was even audible resonance coming out of the pseudo-sub...no surprise since it's just a cheap plastic enclosure, not even MDF like you get with even the cheapest REAL subwoofers.
Mama mia, the things a guy will do just to get some play...
For four hundred bucks these days you could actually get a pair of real bookshelf speakers (Infinity Beta 20s, Polk Monitor 30s, Hsu HB-1s) and a cheap sub (Dayton SUB-100 from partsexpress dot com) that would effortlessly destroy this Bose junk. Granted, it won't be in such a tiny and dainty-looking package, but it will sound a million times better!
I think I'll have to break the news to her on our tenth date or so, it actually makes me feel DIRTY not to, heh. |
