I have no doubt you are correct hifisoundguy. There are lots of bad sounding $5,000 systems around.
Bose Wave Music system
I was wondering if anyone had or actually listened to the Bose Wave Music system. For a simple, all-in-one solution, it seems like it could be worthwhile. It has a cd player, radio, and speakers all in one box. Without the optional cd changer it costs $499. What do you think? Thanks for the input.
