    I don't think you can open them up without destroying them. Besides, what would they be tracking, consumer stupidity. :D

    Seems dumb that would as some peeps sell individual cubes and that would Eff everything up if they were trying to track or keep track of them somehow.

    Bose speakers are for yuppies. They never sound right to me. The only thing they make that is even half way right is the bookshelf speakers(301 series I think.)I spend an hour listening to Bose speakers at a outlet store. Horrible. I think my monitor 30 with my JVC sub sound better. Bose are so overpriced too. You could buy a nice Polk or B & W setup that will sound 99% better. I dont understand why people buy Bose, just buy in-wall speakers and a sub. If you dont want to see speakers.

    Bose is overpriced crap, I would not let my worst enemy buy it.
    The funny thing is when you see those home shopping channels, selling to people who dont know any better. It just sound horrible. I have read reviews where people pay 4,200 for Bose then listen to a Onyko system and say it sounds better. Then end up returning the Bose. That new 321 system has so many problems. The system turns off all the time. Just buy a nice yamaha and some in-walls if it is such a big deal. Do you realize how much people on spending on these Bose systems? Makes me sick.

    All you ever wanted to know and perhaps a bit more.

    I'd say our friend, Home Theatre is very young and is probably repeating the thoughts of his parent(s). But then again, I'm assuming when I should not be.

    Reading comprehension is not among your stronger suits, I take it. My original comment was directed at Home Theatre. :rolleyes:

    BTW, your wife says Hi and to stop wearing her panties.

    He was so far up the thread, maybe you shouldn't assume anyone knew who you were directing that comment at. My comprehension is fine thanks, 6 years of college can do that to a person. Tell her hi, and she told me she likes me in her panties so I know you're lying. PS Tell her to get home, I am wearing her favorite pair and they are binding so hurry. Thanks.

    Well folks I am sorry if I pissed anyone off. I was just saying that Bose are bought by people who do not do the research. They buy them because of marketing not better sound. I am 28 by the way. Anyone who pays 4000 for a bose system should be put away.

    Maybe I choose my words better. It is the same way in my business, I sell contacts. The doctors want the name brands. Eventhough we offer a great product(almost the same thing in some cases) at amazing prices. Marketing can be a number 1 killer.
