Quote:Bose are as close to perfection as you can get. You're also going to pay high end prices for that perfection. I have friends with Bose home systems and they're pretty much ungodly..


But.. I have em beat with bass and total wattage.. I have (4) 15x3 CV's and (2) 12x3 CV's.. I've actually fried a set of those 15's with my power amp and had to replace. I have a Yamaha M-80 that'll pretty much rock any sets of speakers. I actually got really lucky with that amp. I saw it in a pawn shop about 20 years ago. Paid about $400 for it at the time and even back then it was a bargain..


But Bose will kill it with it's clarity.. That's what you're paying for though..

 

At my age I prefer clarity.  I had Klipsch speakers for ever (sub-woofer, center and front channels) with a pair of Yamaha speakers for the rear channels.  I ended up giving them to my son because they were so big and our TV room isn't really that big.  I bought an inexpensive Yamaha surround set, but just wasn't happy with the quality, so a while back I replaced them with a Bose system.  I've never regretted doing so.
