Have they gone down hill in the past 5 years or so? I am a trained audio engineer and was always happy with them though I would never use them for my main speakers. I am by no means saying they were anywhere near the best but good non the less, pretty good. I haven't had any in years but was happy with what I did have. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Not being a smartass but did you ever listen to any other brand of speaker? The people that I see that buy Bose do so because they think it's "cool" and the "best". Little do they know. My speaker cables cost more that their entire Bose system.
Bose = overexaggerated mids, shrieking ear piercing (when turned high) highs and a complete lack of any low end bass.
Back before I got involved in Audio I had a bose system as well and thought it was the ****. That was until I went to an experienced home theater place in Vegas while my truck was getting worked on next door. Had a long conversation with the engineer there. He showed me how a mid priced pair of Boston Acoustic speakers killed the Bose in every aspect. I wound up giving them away to my brother in law.
