I have to ad that my neighbor has had his Bose system for a very long time and is looking to upgrade, and learn more about HT/Stereo in general.
It's very hard to me to just grin and say, yeah it sounds great. I feel like it's my duty to educate them, I feel like I am doing them a favor. If the guy just dropped $3k on a system I would never say it sounds like S__t, I am too honest sometimes.
Even people who want to learn about HT, have a hard time believing that Bose is no good. It's not really about Bose, any HTIB is a waste og money IMHO. If you want home theater, and only have $700, you might as well save your money until you have $2k or so, then you can piece together something pretty decent.
