I will say this for Bose. They have a truly amazing marketing department (really, really top notch stuff), and they make decent car audio equipment. Strangely, this expertise does not translate to home audio--although my understanding is that the high end (non-acoustimass system speakers) are actually halfway decent, if a little wimpy on the bass. I believe they cost somewhere north of $5K for a pair, though.

I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!
