    I have the Companion 20 speakers too, and i can assure you Bose have hit the nail on the head this time! The Companion 20s are so good they even make Bose's more expensive speakers sound bad! They are so detailed its not funny and i think bose could easily get away with charging more for these...

    Bose AE2 - Any good? (No mindless Bose bashing, please)

    Thanks Katun, I meant no mallice in my post. I just want people to know some are happy with Bose and want to help others asking about them and people saying things that are just negative without reason don't help. Vocals are a big thing for me, especially female vocals. For some reason Bose...
