Is this Bose Anonymous?

Hello, everyone. My name is Larry, and there is a Bose-owner in my family. (All: "Hello, Larry!") Here is my story:

It all started last summer, when my sister, after watching a couple of movies here, decided she was ready to take the HT plunge. Naturally, she asked my advice. Since she lives within two hours' drive away, I offered to visit her the next weekend and escort her to a couple of good HT stores around her home.

Then, two days later, it happened; I got the dreaded phone call:

"Larry, I was at the mall today, and I saw the system I want! It's so cute, and the salesman offered me a great discount!"

"Let me guess: Bose?" I gasped.

"Yes, how did you know? Anyway, it's just what I want. They look cool, and they sound so good!"

"Jody, I'm coming down in three days; just wait for me."

"No, I have to get them tomorrow; the guy said it's a $3100 system, but he'll sell it to me for $1700 if I get the money by tomorrow. What a deal!"

I responded, "It's not even a $1700 system. Please wait for me!"

I went on to explain how they build a room around the speakers, and it won't sound anything like that in her room, etc., but it was no use; she was determined. *Heavy sigh!*

I went ahead with my visit that weekend, and endured a hot attic to install them in her family room, three along one wall (L, C, & R), and the other two on the opposire wall (LR & RR). Then ran the wires to the "bass" module, and then to the (the B&O wannabe) receiver.

"Okay, Sis, it's time to move the TV out of the corner."

"What do you mean, 'move the TV'? I like it in the corner." *Heavy sigh #2*

I tried, I really tried, but to no avail. She wouldn't let me move the TV to the space below the center speaker! So, it stays in the corner. The TV is left of the left speaker!

Okay, time to turn it on. Power on, adjust a thing or two, and stand back and listen. What do I hear next?

"Why doesn't it sound like yours?"

I cried!

I need a group hug!

nope, sorry to disappoint you. Just pointing out the fact you're bashing product:

1) you've never owned
2) couldn't afford
3) couldn't comprehend

901's > you and everything you'll pretend to build. Them little 4"s in that direct relfect box do piss all over your "130db in the port" horn....and imagine this, they actually sound good doing it. [Eek!]

**ps -- if you can't even tell me what "b&o" is, you have 0 room to speak on anything home audio related. [in reference to "(the B&O wannabe)"]
