Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Bose or Axiom?

In fairness to Bose, a lot of people do not buy systems based on what is going to give them the best sound. Bose systems are nicely integrated, have lots of ease-of-use features, are extremely unobtrusive, and can fit into almost any living room without taking it over.

Our systems may sound *much* better, but you have to be willing to have "noticeable" speakers in the room, and there is the whole WAF thing for a stack of electronics as well. The Bose systems sound decent and are totally WAF-friendly, and honestly most people really don't care about the sound quality as much as we do.

Drew88, we're not trying to scare you away but in all seriousness the Bose and Axiom systems, particularly an M60-based system, are aimed at two totally different kinds of customers. If you had the two set up side by side in the same room you would laugh at the difference when switching back and forth. I kid you not.

Again, it's not just Axioms here. Axioms just happen to be perhaps the "best sound quality for the dollar" leader, while Bose is really the king of the "lifestyle" systems.
