What's your favorite anti-bose saying?

[beer]

"No highs, no lows, must Bose!"
"Friends don't let friends buy Bose"

I need to convice someone that Bose sucks. These sayings should be a start. And then showing off some real speakers.

 

[Helpless]

I've had my 901's for about 8 years and they rock...guess you dig da phat a$$ bass, yo

 

[ElFenix]

just tell them that radio shack used to sell a "make your own bose kit" for $25 that included everything needed to make those crappy little cube speakers that retail for $200 or whatever each.

 

[beer]

$200? I've heard their $1899 setup that sounded worse than an $800 Paradigm setup.

Helpless -

You are indeed helpless when it comes to audio. Go buy some real speakers, PSB, Paradigm, with an SVS sub, and that's true sound.

Bose was great when it first came out. Totally revolutionized the home theater market.

However, every other respectable speaker company has surpassed Bose nowadays. The only thing Bose is relying to sell is it's name and the fact that mediocre people still believe that this is the best. Their best marketing plan was the put them in Fry's. Fry's salesmen push these speakers like crack!

Show them some Bose speakers. THen show them some real speakers.

ahhaaa if someone told me that radio shack pushed these speakers, i'd say HELL NO!!!

 

[Helpless]

Yea, okay...I didn't buy them to impress a bunch of 16 year-olds who like DA BOOM...I bought them to listen to my tunes being pumped out of my Carver @ 1000W...makes your ears fell like they are bleeding, sir.

 

[vi edit]

I could fart through a carboard tube and have more bass than bose.

 

[ElFenix]

you have a carver amp and bose speakers? you know that bose does not accurately reproduce sound, right?

 

[beer]

Anyone that likes booming sounds isn't good enough to know what a good setup sounds like.

SVS subs don't boom. Just a nice, flat response down to...oh 17 hz (16-46 series), and that sub will run ya less than $1000.

 

[PG]

I just think that they are too expensive.

And I don't know what model number it is, but that 5 speaker system that goes for about $900 to $1000 doesn't even have an ACTIVE subwoofer. The sub is passive. For that kind of dough, I want a powerfull and ACTIVE sub.

Yeah, it sounds pretty good an all, but DVD has a special channel just for the subwoofer. I'd like to ask the Bose people how they can have great sound when they are missing the subwoofer channel.

 

[snakesnfrogs]

Remember the Cambridge Soundworks ads?

&quot;Better Sound than Bose for Half the Price&quot;---I think Bose actually sued them for that.

 

[Helpless]

...and I like treble

 

[beer]

My $249/pair Alpha A/V fronts will go higher on a sweep than your Bose will, almost guaranteed. Don't even think about comparing to Paradigm Studios or PSB Status speakers.

 

[lowfatbaconboy]

&quot;bose its like sound that comes out of a garden hose&quot; - ok that was lame ill come up with something better

bose sales person&quot;mid range whats a mid range?&quot;

This is true. Perhaps if Bose spent as much money on R&amp;D as they did on lawyers and marketing, they'd have a decent product.

 

[ElFenix]

bose has a really good product for their target audience... people who want to spend 5x what they should on really tiny speakers that they can hide around the room and feel good knowing they bought the most expensive thing at best buy.

 

[AppleTalking]

Geez you guys spend a lot of money on audio stuff. I'm happy with my $80 set of Boston Acoustics BA790 digital speakers hooked up to my Santa Cruz card. Plenty of sound for my untrained ears.

Nick

 

[beer]

Unfortunately they are nothing at all to trained ears. I can't even stand the balance on the Klipsch 4.1s after my PSB Alphas and my cheap ($150) sub.

Wait till I get my SVS baby

 

[Croton]

appletalk.
i have the klipsch hoooked up to my sb live plat 5.1

i love everyone's bose trashing. ahahhhaha

 

[lowfatbaconboy]

if u hear a good system u people could tell that bose is crap
but most people prolly haven't heard a decent system if they think bose is great

 

[vi edit]

Bose - The RAMBUS of the speaker industry

 

[SirFshAlot]

&quot;No highs, no lows, must Bose!&quot;

only problem with that, is that Bose cubes lack midrange, so essentially, they suck all around
(I know, I bought some)

 

[Capn]

pff, you guys should build your own speakers, that's where the price/performance golden zone is. Viperoni can back me up on that. I spent $200 in components for some speakers that sound as good as $1000 speaker systems. I didn't do the crossover design, that was professionaly done, my crossover design wouldn't sound this good.

 

[Helpless]

I would never buy the cubes, but I would get another set of 901's...sorry I can't be a part of your JO party here, but I have to go smoke
