        That was awesome. Totally sums up so many consumers and their perspective of Bose and Monster.

          Love it - but does also point out why "we" the audiophile community does have issues in explaining our points of view..

                    It is funny because it is true-to-life. A while back, a neighbor wanted some advice about buying home theater speakers and asked what kind I have. When I said I have Magnepan speakers all around, he asked "are those as good as Bose?". Of course we all know that the answer depends on whether you want to listen to music or to put potted plants on top of them.

                    What you DON'T say may be held against you...

                        I don't know.. are Maggies as good as Bose?

                        Now... if you use MONSTER cables to hook up Bose, is that like Chuck Norris-level good?

                              That would be blasphemy..., oh, and I meant to type 501s

                              Seriously, I have owned a pair of 501s since 1980. I bought them really cheap when an audio store was going out of business. They sound as good today as when I bought them. I only use them for 2 channel music listening in a spare room in the house. But I'd be the first to admit that Bose are over-hyped and over priced and would never have bought them if not for the circumstances at the time.

                                I had to take a speech giving class last semester. My last speech was about bose. It went over pretty well.

                                Where do people hear that bose is so good? Oh yeah, from bose.

                                  AWESOME topic for a speech. Did you write your check to Bose for the obligatory homage payment, for every time you speak or write the company name?

                                  (I should get out my checkbook... this post just cost me $1.50 in copyright payments)
