They didn't do well against other brand, so should I care???. Of course not, I like them and that what matters to me. My point is why don't let others decide for themselves instead of driving them away before even trying Bose or any other brand for that matter???? I think this forum is excellent, and I learned a lot from your reviews, etc, but some people are biased and trying to get a point across on the basis of comparison and diagrams and pictures and what not on such a subjective matter such as "what speaker sounds the best", in my opinion is a deceptive approach.
I don't have any idea what an audiophile is and I'm not trying to become something I'm not, but I like to listen to my music the way I do now, with the equipment I have and that includes the Bose speakers. Listening to some other high fidelity brand does nor guarantee I'm going to prefer them over the Bose. It's the same with so many other things, I think Pat Metheny Group rules, others may differ but hey that's my opinion and I won't force anybody into believing that what I say is the undisputable truth.
J_garcia: Harleys cost thousands dollars more than a regular japanese motorcycle, do I hate Harleys???. No, I don't but I wouldn't buy one if I have the money or try to steer somebody away from buying one if that person likes them. That's my opinion.
