As I posted in another thread a few minutes ago, I also have a neigbor with Bose cubes, and he thinks his system sounds as good as the Halo/Axiom, I just nod and agree. No reason to to try and explain it, he also has a cabinet quality table saw and other tools, ones I would like to have. But he does not even have the basics of building somehting, so he always wanting my opinion on his wood projects, I give the same responses as the speakers.
