I can't stand Bose, and it's the exact type of speaker I do not want. When listen to bose all i hear is muddy midrange with no clear crisp clear highs, and a weak bass. Might as well listen to the speakers on my laptop. My father has a complete Bose system, and I think it sounds like @#$@#$.

I was waiting for my gf yesterday at the mall, so I visited the Bose factory store just to kill time.

I was entertained,...or maybe feel sorry for - people who walk out with a 3 grand HTIB. With 3K, they could have bought...say..a Denon 2805 and M60s, then some M22s for the surrounds and a sub. That would be a little more I think, but you do get something that is relatively kick butt!

The only additional speakers that are in the plan is a pair of M3ti for the garage, this will take advantage of the spare channel on one of the A21s.

One of the next door neighbors has five of the Bose cubes, some Wal-Mart brand CD player and a receiver. He still thinks his system sounds as good as the Halo/Axiom here, I just nod and agree.

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.".

I hope everybody realizes that I was having some fun at BOSE expense.

Yep, Axiom is to Corvette, as BOSE is to Chevette.
