So you're saying that the end result of the Bose sound is crap? Can't disagree there. . .

No, he's warning us ahead of time that we will all be sued because our digestive system vaugly resembles Bose's Super Sound Conflombjulator (tm).

This explains their claims of a real "organic" sound...

As I recall, a specified device only has to claim a 15% difference from an existing device to be granted a patent.

I wonder which one has better bass response...

You have to keep in mind that both are full range drivers, so bass isn't a strong point.

I think the HSS (human sound system) has a large quality control problem, as it just isn't very consistent. Despite its defficences I still love my HSS, I wouldn't go anywhere without it.

Bose seems to be recommend by everyone except those in the know about the actual product like head-fi etc. The radio industry allways has nothing but praise and admiration for the Bose product through ads and even alot of talk show hosts seem to plug the Bose product much too often.

I should work on my sentence structure more often. Oh well. I guess thats what college is for.

I had bought a pair of Bose 501 Speakers back in 1987 and was quite happy with them. I don't have them anymore and have not bought any Bose products since. But; Has Bose gone down the tubes? (no pun intended). I remember many years ago Bose were "THE" Speakers to have.

I think the best speakers from Bose came in the 1970's, when Dr. Amar Bose still controlled his company. But Bose has gone downhill since the late 1980's, about the time when a marketing group had effectively wrested control of the company away from Dr. Bose - and under the marketing group's control, they've introduced supposedly "improved" versions of several old Bose favorites that actually (for all practical purposes) cheaped out badly on the construction, parts-quality and performance.
