Why are Bose systems hated?

I really had to respond to this trashing with my opinion.
350Z Bose CD Changer was really bad. Mine was replaced 3 times under warranty.
370Z is a different story at least as far as quality goes. If you are a hooligan and looking for extreme lows then this is not for you. However if you are looking for high quality sound Bose would be the right choice. However to get the most out of the system you MUST use the CF card. You can transfer 350kbps mp3s and play them at an astonishing full quality. If you put the CD in, or XM or rip the song on the HD it will not do justice to this optional Bose setup. I don't know what stock system supports but my guess is not much more then 128kbps.

On my Bose with CF card I am hearing sounds in songs that I didn't even know existed. If you don't plan on using CF card, don't bother going for Bose.
