I'll have to throw in my own Bose story.
The mix cd that I sent out to a few of you...I wanted to listen to it all the way through before making multiple copies and be sure there were no problems with it.
I started listening to it at home...then moved to my car on my way to a friends house. So far so good. Brought the cd with me to his place. He has a Bose 5.1 system with those itty bitty speakers and the "bass module". I asked if I could throw it in... oh...my...god. It sounded like CRAP. Worse than crap. Unlistenable. I didn't dare say anything though, as I didn't want to offend. But man oh man...those Bose outlets make sure you hear just the right stuff through their systems.
Then we watched a movie (a quiet drama) and you'd never know that his system could not reproduce music. The movie sounded alright. So whenever I hear that a speaker is great for HT, but not so good for music I just think..."oh, so it's a crap speaker.".
