I have a friend that has Bose 701s. He brought them over to compare to my Axioms. Needless to say the Axioms killed them. Everytime I hear a Bose speakers in general I detect the same type of sound, lots of midbass boom, not real bottom end and a mushed top end. I don't need a blind test to identify the difference between a Bose and an Axiom speaker.

Everytime I drive my Genesis, I know the type of driving experience to expect, hence I know how fast I can take a corner. If I were in a Porsche and got used to it, I would adjust my driving habit. I believe we do get used to things and our brains figure it out very quickly when we reaclimate to a familiar thing whether it be sound, smell, taste, etc.
