I personally do not care for the sound of BOSE speakers, never have.  I know 
people who swear by the sound.  I don't see it.  

As for the wave radio, I've never liked the sound of them.  They sell an awful 
lot of them at really outrageously high prices, so someone must like the sound 
of them. I don't.

Regards.

Years ago the beef with Bose was that they seemed to boost the bass and muddy 
up the mid-range a bit.  I think that is far less prevalent now.  Back then, 
when seemingly no one was enhancing bass frequencies this gave Bose space to 
distinguish themselves from other sound sources.  For many, the increase in 
bass gave things a more warm and active feel.  The trade off was not true sound 
reproduction.  Or less true.  Because I think the discussion is endless as to 
who/what/if anything does 'true sound reproduction'.
I have always believed that Bose is over-priced for what it delivers, then and 
now.


Anyway, the above thoughts are my personal thoughts and opinions based upon my 
experiences and impressions alone.

    No offense taken Bill. 

   I guess I didn`t notice the difference right away because the only way I had 
listened to it was in my car(crappy sound system) and with the headphones 
through my computer (which sounded pretty good). Then I wanted my son to hear 
Prelude and when it came toward the end I couldn`t believe how Dee`s guitar 
seemed to just blend in with everything else. Very disappointing.

    BTW, I have a Wave Radio that sounds pretty good.
