The design of the system goes against everything that quality manufacturers know to be essential get speakers to sound natural or even 'right'. When I sold Hi-Fi and people would ask about these systems, we used to tell them that 'Bose' was an acronym for Bloody 'Orible Sounding Electronics! Bose charges serious money for these systems, especially when you add one of their awful media players, and they really are not worth a tenth of the asking price.
