Brayton5232 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hey guys i work at Best Buy and i had a customer tell me that Bose sounds better than klipsch and he thought i got kick backs for always offering klipsch. I simply said no,i mean just listen between the two. Oh look bose has no bass at all. How are some people so obsessed with Bose. When their product is so over priced and doesn't sound nearly as good as other speaker makers.I just don't understand it. Any insight would be appreciated.

colterphoto1 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 use the SEARCH function in upper right corner, type in BOSE and watch all the info come pouring forth. It's a form of mass hysteria or brainwashing that their marketers have done. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I think I heard one of those little wave systems or whatever they're called. I do remember being impressed with the richness of the sound out of such a small speaker. Other than that little novelty, nothing else ever left an impression. It is all marketing. Even for Klipsch. Remember the Tangent speaker made by Klipsch? It was so unimpressive, they didn't want their name to stand out too much on it - at least that's all I can figure.

lavinius Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I think you should go get a Soundblaster/Cambridge computer system with he 6 little cube and sub (Megaworks 5.1 methinks) and put them next to the BOSE, put an iPOD in them them and voila! 3 times cheaper, sounds better and the iPOD is coolder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Read this thread, lol http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/645021/ShowPost.aspx I work at compusa while i go to college. We sell a number of bose products, but I happen to have the PM 2.1's set up right next to the Bose companion 3. Its amazing how many people look at that pos bose system. It so cheap looking! Yet every once in a while I have to tell people to buy the Klipsch. Unfortunately I sold out of all the Klipsch 2.1's and 2.0's and there is a huge pile of the companion 3's left... One of my coworkers keeps trying to push the Bose 321 system on people, I hear him in his pitch and he says the word "quality" a lot. I dont mind him try to sell shit, thats his job, but he honestly believes its high quality. Its too bad we dont have any REAL 1000 dollar speakers in the store. We are supposed to get stuff from goodguys so once we get some klipsch reference speaker in there, i'll show him what quality really is.

earthaziel Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Brayton, Dude you know we run into that crap everyday. (for those who don't know Brayton and I work together in the same store). Just remember that the Bose people are what make our day enjoyable and create great stories to tell each other whenever our shifts happen to intermingle :-) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan krajewski Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Bo$e has targeted and dominates the "non-audiophile" market. They are NOT interested in us. The non-audiophile market is probably 95 to 97 percent of the people out there. Also, if I owned Bo$e then I could show folks my system and they would see that I have Bo$e and remark "Oh, I see you own Bo$e. That's the best!". And that's what really counts. Doesn't it?

Bill H. Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Brayton, Hope you continued success selling Klipsch. You are speaking to the Choir here- We are the converted...........now all we have to do is convert the other 95-97% of the world........... Good Luck.! Das ist alles......
