At least with Bose, when you spend $2000, you get some pretty looking cubes and a pretty looking bass module, which can pump out real sound. As opposed to spending $2000 on a boutique powercord that just sits there like a dead horse and can't even make out a single note even if your cat tore it to shreds.
