Isn't Bose just as good as Altec?

Isn't Bose just as good as Altec?

Who knows...Bose has always been known to be an uber-expensive, overly-advertised product whose technology is, according to some reviews, is nothing more than generations old technology repackaged and sold at high prices through the use of "amazing, one-of-a-kind" advertising.

There was an old adage, many years ago..."No highs? No lows? Must be Bose!"

There's good and bad things about Bose. Their surround sound systems are definitely ahead of the curve and have some of the best dynamics I have ever heard.

As a musician, DJ, and general audiophile, I definitely think their PA systems and "mini-systems" like the PC speakers or 3-speaker home theater system are a complete freaking joke.

Since it hasn't been released, we won't know for sure yet what it does or doesn't have. According to the promo, they've already changed the speakers from Altec Lansing to Bose...

What promo showed Bose as the speakers? I must have missed that.

Just noticed all the current HP Notebook coupons expired, maybe we'll see the HDX18 launch tomorrow with a new coupon
