Back in 78 I bought A Sansui & some monster Technics. Loved em. Moved to smaller house in 86, bought a Carver & a set of bose cubes/w sub. Must have been nuts because I ended up with 3 sets.
I read about Axioms & bought a set of M80s about 6 yrs ago. Wow.
Them came the EP500 , QS8s & Vp150. I tried to give all the bose away but my buddies said they didn't make good boat anchors.
All went to the dumpster.

when one is used to the sound of small portable am radios, i guess the Bose sounds good, but i can't be sure, never owned a Bose;
maybe i should...

I have a Logitech speaker system for my PC which has front and rear speakers roughly the size of Bose cubes. It also has about a million wires & plugs. Occasionally I decide to move the PC to a different part of the house and hooking up the speakers is always more work than everything else put together.

Sometimes I wonder what all the little speaker cubes would look like dangling from the trailer hitch of my truck and bouncing down the road into town.

I bought a set of wireless Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 for my laptop & I'm really liking them. Hope this isn't advertising.
