Steve-- you're a speaker guy... since we conjured up the Bose name, heres a good (long, but very enlightening) article on the bose acoustimass set. The author takes it apart and tests the hell out of it, and exposes its many limitations.
Thanks for the link! Looks like I'll really enjoy the read. It's always amazing to me how well Acoustimass does in the marketplace, credit to their marketing. I always found the sound phasey, compressed and tubby; and every time I've seen an A/B demo with Acoustimass next to some good speakers (even comparably priced), the customers agree.

Seems like both these companies are appealing to the person who has alot of money and no sense.
