A couple of 'supposedly' intelligent network engineers I work with we're talking about the lastest uber_expensive LCD Hi-Def sets they were buying to go in their new houses. Before we could start making Tim Allen testosterone grunts though, they started talking about the rest of their system, and bragging about being sold on those dumb little Bose cubes.
So, we're dropping several grand on big screen Hi-Def NFL Sunday ticket action, but you're getting speakers smaller than my grandmother uses on her PC? Sup with that?
A buddy of mine used to sell Hi-fi at a local audio store that catered from flat out junk to hyper exotic, 10k+ a pair quasi ribbon planars, and we'd hang out after closing some nights and play with all the gear. The sales staff's comments about selling to people they sold Bose cubes though was likely on par with how Nigerian spam scammers must talk about their victims while sipping on a six-pack. Basically, not with a lot of flattering adjectives. Like; "If you throw them in water, they float, which is a safety feature because the only place they sound good is mounted on the pontoon boat where you met your wife."
Anybody have these things and like them? Why?
