Interesting comment on Bose Speakers.....

 I’ve heard quite a few audiophile speakers that used expensive drivers in ways that...well, didn’t suit my taste. Quite a few speakers using Focal tweeters made me feel like that guy in the movie Seven Beauties who went to “better  @@%%@!. Say what you want about Bose but a Bose speaker never made me want to leave the room.

Bose did it's research and created exactly what the consumer market wanted, a little loudspeaker that sounded like a big one. They sold like hot cakes in spite of being pretty bad from an audiophile perspective. Such is the power of the Female, the type that our soon to be supreme justice can't explain.

@grislybutter , You are correct. She was asked to define a women. In this day and century a woman does not have to be a female although most of the women who are not females wish they were. I'm sure the soon to be supreme justice was not either a biology or psyc major.

I have to turn the bass and treble down to get just a little midrange in my Bose car system. Can someone recommend a car radio with real equalization?

@mijostyn I completely agree, but it doesn’t sound like a good speaker and people are being led to believe, through pure marketing, that it’s actually good hifi. That’s the problem, along with charging relatively high prices while using absurdly cheap components.  It’s purely a marketing/lifestyle product company that falsely portrays itself as high-end audio that deceives general public into believing they’re buying audiophile-level products  

And, just to educate the OP, ATC’s mid drivers cost about $750 each and probably weigh about 100x what the typical crap Bose driver weighs. Bose is a 4-letter word in high-end audio for a reason.
