Hifisoundguy, it is good that you stick to your opinion in the face of overwhelming evidence that others REALLY don't like the speakers you love; that takes real conviction. There is really no point in arguing about it, but I can guarantee you that no amount of tweaks would change anyone's opinion on the inherent qualities of the Bose speaker. That you like them is all that matters, but you won't get many converts (I'm sure you've noticed that by now).
