Ultimately, it's your ears that must choose. Generally speaking, Bose is slick with marketing schtick, product novelty (e.g. cubes) and under-delivers in sound quality and bang-for-the-buck (over priced!). There are better sounding and more affordable options out there. Go...listen...compare...compare again...and choose. Most importantly, buy from a dealer that will let you return speakers if you don't get what you had hoped for when you fire them up in your own environment. good luck!

No highs, No lows, Must be Bose!
