bose wave sound system..good enough as a main stereo?
this looks more like an expensive alarm clock on a side table than the main stereo in the living room. what do you think??
http://www.bose.ca/controller?url=/shop_online/wave_systems/wms/index.jsp
if it was on my bedside table...would you be impressed?
if it was on the mantle in the living room would you be impressed?
is it classy?
please share your thoughts!
Oboy...
OK.
Yes, the average Joe will be impressed:
"WOW... is that Bose?? -how much did you get it for?- WOW thats alot of $... it must be good"
But:
NO, the educated consumer or audio enthusiast will be in disgust::: often not saying anything because they do not want to start and argument and not wanting to offend you:
But if they are boisterous said anything:
"Hmmm... WWOW you have one of those ... they sound like crap... YOU OVERPAID DUDE - NO HIGHS, NO LOWS, MUST BE BOSE ... ... FRIENDS DO NOT LET FRIENDS BUY BOSE!"
Now...
your answer will depend on whether you are fillthy rich or just a working JOE. It also depends if your friends are smart consumers... And depends if they speak their mind or not....
...
But either way:
If they knew the truth about Bose... They will NOT be impressed... thinking that you got suckered.
OPtions:
Go to www.audioenginusa.com :: available at Westworld Computers, Simply Computing, London Drugs...
Look at the Audioengine A2 ... Westworld sells them for about $190... They are very impressive - silk dome tweeters, kevlar woofers, real MDF wood enclosure.
It'll hook up to your IPOD, PHONE, anything with a headphone jack... and best of all, you can distance each speaker apart to have better stereo imaging.
BUY both... test them... keep the one you like most.
Both have 30day return policies: Bose Store, London Drugs.
