What is better than Bose but costs less?


Hello,

I was told that Bose isn't the best, and that there are better products out there which cost less, could you tell me some of these?

I am quite confused and frustrated, as I can't find anything, i've been doing research and haven't found anything so far, except for little hints that Klipsch and Tivoli are good.

In terms of loudspeakers, and computer speakers.

But more specifically, how would Klipsch and Tivoli systems compare to Bose systems?

Please give me the most detailed answer that you can.

Thank you.

bose offer neither quality nor value. 35+ yrs ago they sold the infamous 901 model with multiple cone drivers. they sold quite well and created some name recognition. they sell stereo eqpmnt on the name recognition mainly from those initial spkrs. basically smoke, mirrors and high price tags. listen to anything at a stereo store for same price. just about anything sounds better to discearning ear.
If you pay attention, you will notice that Bose is kept in a room to it's self in the mass market retailers. There is a purpose. If they were available to be compared to something else side by side, they would be exposed.

Is there stuff out there that is worse than Bose? Yes, but it is at a fraction of the price Bose is asking.

What Bose system are you looking at and what is the price you would pay. Provide the answers to those two questions and you will get more suggestions than you want.
