sound system comment

The main reason why audiophiles hate BOSE is for the following reasons.

Quality of components is extreamly poor equaling that of low-end audio but its sold for the price of high-end audio because they heavily use equilization and elaborate enclosure design to emphasize bass frequencies that the components would not normally be able to produce. This is why they sound fake and compressed.

They do not provide specifications other than maximum wattage. This is because they dont want consumers to know how little rms power their amplifiers produce and how much distortion thier amplifiers have.

Thier amps are always tiny and underpowered because they use cheap Integrated circuits instead of descrete mosfet transistors. Thier speakers are made of paper and have tiny undersized magnets and thier frames are cheap flimsy sheet metal. By far the worst quality I have ever seen by any manufacture.

Thier reputation is built by a very good marketing team that targets the by and large un-informed audience. They make thier systems in small, neat, convienient, easy to use packages that promise HUGE sound and people fall for it every time.

This is why I and many others HATE BOSE!!!!
