Hi. I love traveling, skiing, music. Got my dream job selling Hi-Fi a while ago. It was hard work - just fetching & carrying for no reward. Back at an electronics bench now. If I could just find a job combining those first 3 things....

They say 'better sound by design'. More like better sound by marketing. This system is truely awful in a way typical of all Bose systems. There is a charateristic Bose sound which bears no relation to Hi-Fi whatsoever. It can be characterised as a bloated, flatulent bass which overpowers a weak veiled midrange all topped off with a screeching, strident top end. 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. If you are considering buying Bose, do yourself a huge favour - go listen to the truely great Tannoy Arena system. It looks fabulous, sounds even better and its not made of tacky plastic.
