The real test is with no subwoofers. [] Try and test the bose system with out a subwoofer, and do the same with the Klipsch system. I hate bose, even tho I have computer bose speakers........ The bose speakers lack way more Bass than the Klipsch. By the way, what kind of music does she listen to? The RF-7s should own Bose in movies and in the SQ of music. Oh, and tell her that you need to go out to more audio shops and compare the Sound Quality with bose.[] Have to make sure that they have Bose and Klipsch right aside each other. [] Oh kohill, you should try this song its called Ghost Town Dj's-My Boo, it has hard hitting bass. Great for testing speakers with out a subwoofer.
