On another note, !#$% Rockets up 2-0! Thank God I didn't bet on this series!]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/
The sound is horrible and it's close to impossible to find the correct button in the morning when the alarm goes off.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/
The sound is definatly better than the old Wave Radio CD (now it finally has a headphone connection) but no buttons on top so people can put it under a kitchen counter. Wouldn't be Surprised if they are going to come out with another remote for people that want to use it as a bedroom alarm (ie large snooze). Right now better to use in a family room as a small stereo. Great sound for its size but not for sound aficionados.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/
On another note, I see no reason to upgrade to this one. THOUGH, if Bose threw in a SIRIUS tuner in the mix, I might.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/[/insanity]]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/
Ask a Bose salesperson why they can't show you standard audio characteristic measurements. I'm talking about basic stuff here, frequency response, impedence (Bose insists you use their audio equipment with their speakers), sensitivity, power output, power handling.

They'll insist that it's because Bose's technology surpasses tired old standard measurements that everyone else is using. Ask to see a frequency response chart.

I know $$ = Kitsch in this culture of ours, but educate yourself just a little and you can do way better for the money...]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/
Bose isn't just expensive. Yes, they carry pricy stuff - but Bose brings the end consumer the quality levels that professionals have at prices much lower than the professional equipment costs.

Let me just say that I bought a Bose Lifestyle 48 after spending hours comparing sounds in the Mall of America. Friends over at my house are still blown away by how such small speakers can produce such unbelievable sound.

Take your head out of your a$$, #7, and actually go LISTEN to what they have to offer.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Recently I was given this Bose Radio. Since my cost was zero, the price was right. I must admit I was impressed with the sound. The Bose does have a lot of nice features and touches. It had no problems playing a CD of MP3 files I created on my computer. It is a quality product and I like it a lot, but I still think it is overpriced. I just glad mine didn't cost me anything.
I'm sure you can get as good or better sound from the Cambridge Soundworks Radio and its a lot cheaper.

P.S. Obviously, #7 is crude and ignorant. I would hope someday when he/she grows up will learn better ways to express his or her -self. Perhaps then others will actually take him or her seriouly.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/ Also the lifestyle 48 sounds quite amazing... but for those who can afford their own personal home theater they may be willing to spend $4,000 per speaker to get the absolute ultamate in sound...
Yet I think most people out there when they hear the 48 and see that its $4,000 for the entire system and has amazing sound, thats all that matters.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Bose blows.

Have a read ....

http://www.intellexual.net/bose.html]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/ Even so I would really like for someone to find details about the Lifestyle 48 and its frequency ranges since that is Boses latest technology and really sounds great. If someone knows a website that tested the LS48 please leave a link!!

I always say that with sound, if you like what you hear and you COMPARE with what others are selling out there for the same price range, Then go with what you like. Thers no way that a $4,000US system would ever compare with a $20,000US system (one hopes) so don't go out expecting it to.

But before you say anything just go and check them out and see if they are good for the price range. Dont trust what anyone else says about what you hear because they are after all your own ears! And if you listened to the best consumer grade speakers that Bose has to offer and still dont like... cool... Just remeber to compare them with other consumer grade speakers in the same price range!

Thanks for the link!]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/Give us a call or email we will sort this fuss all out, we WILL DEMO the bose stuff next to ANYTHING to show it off.

Again, we will demo anyones setup against the Lifestyle 48 Bose systems at the same MRSP value, make sure you bring your dvd player, receiver, pre amps, speakers and wire, email us for info]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/
And, I have heard the LS48 - thats stunning to watch DVDs on. I was reading somewhere were someone said the Acoustimass barely goes down below 50Hz, I've heard much lower than that when I demoed it... and it was next to a JVC / Polk / JBL and a Pioneer system. I heard them all, and the Bose didnt seem to be rubbish at all.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/26/boses-new-wave-music-system/They did not send me anything ant do not answer my mails.
I really suspect it is a FRAUD.
If any of you have got any experience with Eurosoundz, please mail me.
