No it is not you should go and get your money back and/or throw it all away and start over again..sigh...

Not another person looking for online affirmation...

Boss,

A little slack, please. I've been dealing with audio stuff for forty years, and I still find a lot of it a mystery and most of it a hit-and-miss, trial-and-error enterprise. So now you've got people suddenly faced with setting up six separate speakers or more, with varying crossover frequencies and distances and, and.... It's no wonder some people want a little assurance that things are OK.

I have these made by Bose . . . Are they OK?

Bose, now that's a company that has made a living of advertising! Honestly have never put stock into their "So-CALLED-technology". Really bouncing sound off of walls versus actually investing R&D into a product to stand alone by itself mean very little to me. What did they say in the mid teen centuries. A lot of HOCUS POCUS and Simple Tricks?... That how I classify those guys... Sorry guys that's how I feel about BOSE.

Reaggie,

How about a set of Bose loudspeakers hooked up with Monster cables and interconnects? Now there's an advertising match made in heaven.

John

Hmmm, I can't say that myself. I've owned other Bose products and have always been pleased with the rich quality of sound. I don't really care how they do it or what technology they have to backup, all I care about is how it sounds to me. To my ears, it's all good to me as I've purchased Bose products more than once. The only thing I could complain about is I feel they're overpriced, but I won't deny that I've always been pleased with thier product. Oh, well, and that's what I think!

Well, now you brought up Monster. Where should I begin! For the most part, a lot of what Monster offers is more Hocus Pocus! When you talk analog interconnects, the 400MKII stuff is nice and balanced. The 300MKII is good but it lacks the highs. The M-Series, stuff is blown way overpriced! But the sound difference between the 400 and M is not worth the $$$$. Same goes for Z-100... Now when you talk speaker cable, 85% is pretty plain jane stuff. Your inexpensive stuff is about the same for most consumers. I personally own the MCX-1's for the mains. Now that stuff rocks. I tried adding the center channel with the same link, and no real sound difference. I went to 12 guage XP-500. Does the job fine. The Rears, are on 16 guage xp-500. More than ample.

I guess I have yet to be woooed by Bose...

If there are no highs and no lows, it must be Bose. Hey come on they have to be a quality product Paul Harvey endorses the wave radio.
