TOOL1075 Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Bose is popular, because many consumers are not interested in "high end" audio, and wish to buy things that are convenient, and perform decently. Bose does just that. They're alright speakers, if you like to have music in the background while you work, etc. (for the average consumer). Their high price is 'justified' with good looks, small size, and convenience, and that describes many products on the market today. "Better Sound Through Research" = "More Money for us Through Consumer Surveys, Publicity, and Media and/or Store Promotion" and that's the way it will always be.

ma43q Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 hi .. let just assume this way... a person who wants a system that solve all his headaches.... just hook it up, and it served all his purpose...... as a HT system, audio system... and convenient.. no huge speakers.. and bose provide just that... and the satellites are so small that u can stuff it at one corner and forget about it... ..aand it has enough quality to satisfy customers ... of course u cannot compare Bose to other powerful higher end models from other manufacturers. that's why Bose has its own customers and supporters. nothing sucks.... if it sucks, it will not last this long.. more than 50 years of history in making speakers . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex336 Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 I have a friend that recently purchased the "lifestyle" system. (i think that was the name). Anyway, it sounded pretty good in the store. When he got in connected at home, it sounded very tinny--kinda like screws rattling around in a metal can---just horrible----even I was surprised. Marketing has a lot to do with what people believe and how they act. ------------------ Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwK Posted June 1, 2001 Author Share Posted June 1, 2001 ......... Its all marketing .. your right.

VIV Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 Umm, you can't make a version of the Pro Medias and market it for the HT market because HT speakers use a seperate amp/reciever to power them, while the Pro's use their own amp (and hooking that upto a HT reciever would serve no purpose except maybe to destroy the speakers. Klipsch's "version" of the Pro's for HT setups are the Quintet speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahabut Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 Well that depends very much on the preamp and amp setup you are using. The best ones allow for amped speakers. In other words you could use the promed's as an HT system but check out the SF-2's on the main page. Why would you use PC speakers for an HT. Unless you just want a small HT. I guess that would be workable. But then just use your computer with TV/out and S/video and a SBLP 5.1 and your Klipsch speakers. Ala, insta HT for under 1500 bucks. Think about it if you are trying to put together a component system. ------------------ Real life is just another window on my desktop! -The Shadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwK Posted June 6, 2001 Author Share Posted June 6, 2001 No. I'm saying put together a set like the BOSE lifestyle system. It comes with a AMP that prety much is made to work with the speakers. Just, Keep the Pro Medias like they are, ( 5.1 promedias ) A better ( bigger and fancier, with more hookups) and what ever changes that are needed, and sell it as a HT system. Its a good, and simple solution, that I think people would realy go with. ------------------ K6-2 450 SB Live Value ( not 5.1) Klipsch Pro Media v2 400 ( soon to be 4.1 ) 2 Fisher STV-873's on front channel 2 Fisher surrounds on rear channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
