crazyrobo Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I got ahold of a Bose Lifestyle Demo CD, I'm listening to the first track on my RF system, (The Lifestyle is downstairs), "Fills your room with full and rich bass..." when I listened to this same track downstairs, it sounded, alright, a little muddled, but alright. So then I put the CD upstairs in my all Klipsch system and the RW-10 just BLASTED the walls with the bass, it was soooooo clean and everything was rumbling, almost like a good massage (keep in mind that my room is small compared to the area that the lifestyle has to cover downstairs.) All the songs on the CD seem 'optimised' for the jewel cubes, they lack any real high and low fq, I can hear it very clearly with my speakers. Everything songs much richer and deeper, even on my Klipsch Promedias on my computer!!!! My favorite part is when it says, "...we decorate our home with music. All too often though, when we stop to listen to great music, we settle for sound that's only, 'average'. What great music deserves though, is full, deep bass to give it warmth *cue great bass track*, clarity to make it sparkle *harp, with some good high frequency, that sounds absolutely fabulous on my system*, and an open spacious sound, to bring our music to life."

IndyKlipschFan Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 The listening rooms are so designed for BOSE at their outlet stores I, too, have wondered if I played my own CD or heaven forbid brought in a RF7's and or a RSW 15 myself. LOL What would be the reaction..?? Ok, so it is a bigger speaker, but OMG what a fantastic sound out of the Klipsches!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 And why do you have a Lifestyle system? Am I the only one here that realizes that compared to the Quintet's and the new Athena system, the Bose cubes are the SAME SIZE!!! Just giving you a hard time Yes, the dics is mixed for the systems.

meuge Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 If you have a computer, can you rip a couple of tracks using WAV format. If you send them to me I could analyze them using SoundForge and SpectraPLUS and post the results for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancestorm Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 OP, do that!!! Get those tracks ripped to wav and let him analyze! I am truly interested!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael hurd Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I would love nothing better than to waltz into the local Future Shop, with a cd that has 1/3 octave test tones and try out their 3-2-1, or the Acoustimess system with a 32 hz test tone. Anyone willing to bet that their " bass module " starts to wimper and smoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnovaZero Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 ROFL, and i Blose lovers ever go "Well your system is super huge, I'd hope it would do all that..but ours are small and sound just as good, bet you can't make it this small and sound so good" *Starts laughing* *busts out the Promedia Ultras* *looks at face at blose lover* *smurks* and I say "Bitach! Take that, and it was only $399! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_shadow Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 InnovaZero, I kinda got it, and I kinda didn't get it. I really wished I had never read that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnovaZero Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 It was kinda all over the place lol. Basically what I was saying that bose lovers would say nobody could have something so small and sound so good. So! We introduce to them the Promedia Ultras, Quintets, or the RF Cinema 6 system. Blam, they sounds way better and cost less too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts out at 1 hz and every second, it jumps up to the next frequence (thus, you can look at the track-clock and tell what frequency is playing by looking at the number of seconds that elapsed). I tried it on my own system, and some pretty impressive results. The local dealer has a Blose 3-2-1 system setup, that people can put CD's on (not one of those stupid Kiosks). Would be interesting to try that test-sweep on the 3-2-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenratboy Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Heh, I have a used 3-2-1 and 28 system I could try it on $50 says that Bose has a 30 or 40 Hz. hi-pass on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meuge Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I could probably construct a CD that sequentially plays all the musical notes. I'd say that would a good way to test any system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzze Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 What are the tracks on the CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 1/3 octave warble tones at LF should do the trick. [+o(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 My sister has that CD that came with their Bose mini-stereo. I borrowed it a long time ago and it would be interesting to listen to it on my current setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
