Chalk and cheese though. Peavey makes some decent products, competitive and useful in the marketplace (not overpriced under performing c-r-a-p) and even some very good ones such as the Cirrus bass guitars.philipbarrett said:
I've always said - if I was mixing on a desert island and the cannibals would eat me if the music stopped I'd pick a Peavey PA. They design amps that bands can hook the mains to the left channel & 12 wedges to the right & it'll keep on trucking.
Buddy,
if at any time i'll go on that safari and see a guy standing in a big pot holding an amplifier and two Bose speakers i'll tell myself he'll be just fine.

Low impedance magnets, anyone?

From the bose.com website regarding 402 Series II speakers:
I wonder how much better the edgewound ferrite magnets sound than the non-edgewound variety? 😀

Bose has built its "empire" on the foundation of marketing excellence. Bose has become a "household word" based on recognition alone, not from superior quality sound. If you look at their cubes, you have to ask the question "how? How could these cubes emit quality sound across the audio spectrum?" Answer - they CAN'T, and there's a huge midbass/midrange frequency range that is LOST, which is why they don't publish specs. If you have to ask - they WON'T tell you.
Yup, marketing; man's best friend.
Drive Klipsch if you can - you won't be sorry.

What's the name of that funny movie where there is a scene in a strereo store where a young couple with pregnant wife (who truly cannot afford to buy anything) go in and the stereotypical unscrupulous salesman pounces on the guy and ends up talking him into going into debt buying a pair of the biggest, baddest and most 'kabuki' crapola type speaker in the store with the most profit margin for the dealer?
I'd love to see that scene again! 😀

Ha!
That show was Ruthless People.
"If you can't afford it, F****** FINANCE IT!"
But back on track, kudos to those of you who were able to sway those who know least. I gave up on that years ago.

Guys,
There is one good thing about Bose. Sometimes rich people, purely by accident, actually buy something good. This was the case for a Scottsdale couple that bought some JBL L300 t3's. Now, some years later, they decided that some little cubes on a stick and a sub in the corner was the way to go... so they bought the stupid things. They posted the JBL's in the paper... and I went and bought them $350 for the pair.
They were relieved to have that bulky JBL stuff out of their home. A few minutes in their home and you could see that the speakers never saw more than a watt... or dust... or cat climbing the grilles.
