Yeah the Bose was a joke. I think they do get more flack than say Polk Audio because they are mostly marketing and little research, plus the lawsuit against Consumer Reports for a bad rating didn't help their cause. (Plus Polk makes some good speakers).
When one of my old Scott speakers ripped from long use I bought some Bose 201v based on Consumer reports recent ratings and my own ignorance and they were not any better than that ten year old $100 each, starting to rip speaker!
I bought some cheap paradigms instead which headed me in the right direction. Now on to Axioms.
