Well that's better than having to retype everything out now is it?

Not an audiophile then?
"other speaker"
There's your problem then. Only using one speaker is not the best configuration.
Seriously though. How many other 'ahem' high end speakers have you tried? As I said before the frequency responses for Bose setups are comparatively poor for other systems at the same price point. For that price they should not be using paper cones or thin plastic/laminate board shells.
Bear in mind that 'power' is not the same as accuracy. I could make a powerful speaker myself using some basic parts and a coil of copper wire. It would sound like crap but it would be damned loud.
I can fully understand you trying to defend them to justify your purchase but it can be quantitavely shown that Bose are poor.
Sorry if I sound like i'm picking on anyone but I take sound quality very seriously and Bose don't cut the mustard. They are the iPod of speakers. Trendy but overpriced and sounding like crap against their less well known bretheren.

2) You are confusing volume with sound quality.
oh no. I'm really not :D
bose is the best. nothing is better.
fine then, what is the best
well i have never heard those, i have heard bose
Zybex
Brick_Wallfine then, what is the best
Depends on what you are willing to pay. Of those competing directly with Bose, I would consider Klipsch, Infinity, B&W, Paradigm etc. Which you choose as "best" boils down to personal preference.
and one question, have you ever heard BOSE?
now i want some bose headphones
good one. but come on i really need to hear these others comepared to bose.

You are wrong.
That is not my opinion, it is a statement of objective fact.
A sample of the response curves for the wave radio is here - http://www.mfk-projects.com/other_measurements.htm
As you can see, it distorts horrifically.
Lou Reed would pay money not the hear BOSE. http://www.klipsch.com/media/news-center/reviews-press-pdfs/smart-money-sound-and-the-fury.pdf
i dont understand, how do you read those? how do you tell?
