Hey, you can say all you want about bose. Before I installed one in home, I thought there was no way they are that good. If you compare them with other brands of the same spectrum, they do sounds better. Are they worth the price hike, I really dont think so. But that was my point,..you can spend $1000 on a bose system and it will rock. But you can also get another brand for half price that is just about as good. I have known about the info in your link,...I dont really buy all of it. The bottom line is that people do not buy something that doesnt work. If there was the same speakers out there, just off brand, people would buy them. But that isn't happening. You can believe that Bose is good even though really expensive, or you can believe that people do not want to save money on an off brand and want to buy expensive speakers that dont work well.
