Yan ang mahirap sa BOSE lovers they tend to reject and disbelief that they've been sacked by BOSE... having "sour grapes" after buying a BOSE using their pride not their ears and brains ... buti pa ang iba nagigising sa katotohananHappy enlightment sa mga naka-recover from BOSE... now you have a good taste in HT and music...
maybe its not fair to generalize people and to discriminate them to the point of saying that if you have a Bose system stashed somewhere in your house and you do like its performance then you do not have good taste in Audio and in HT based from the statement that you gave. simply moving up from a Bose to a what have you Brand W doesnt mean you automatically have good tatse in audio as well right? let us not be prejudiced.true...the Bose systems isnt the best sounding speakers and are quite costly if you buy it brand new but what speaker is the best? that is a very subjective decision which totally varies from one individual to another. people buy products because of so many different variables....one might buy because its a dirt cheap deal, it fits a certain requirement, some buy the best there is, by peer pressure, by brand loyalty etc etc. Now lets say one bought a 901 and likes how it sounds....that doesnt automatically mean that he has poor taste. I do want to give you an example on what I am saying. I have a friend who formerly OWNED a big audio store with several branches across the Metro and was one of the pioneer stores that carried high end audio products. he has access to a LOT of speaker brands for the sole reason that he owns the chain and up to now he till listens to his pristine condition 901's in his den/bar. I was quite curious as to why he doesnt want to ditch it and replace them with other speakers that are worthy of his lofty exprience in audio but his answer surprised me...he simply likes how it sounds...it sounds unique and like no other...period. That doesnt make it the best for him but its uniqueness has its appeal to him. In that regard I respected his opinion and his preference. he does have a Magnepan (the biggest maggie models) system in his bedroom and if asked the question which is better sounding..the 901 or the maggies syempre its a no brainer..the maggies will outperform the 901's but he is fast in adding that he also loves the unique presentation of the 901 in his den/bar. Ripped off? hehe thats the good thing...he got the 901 for a measly Php15K from a person who simply ridiculed Bose to high heavens just like you. so to sum it all up...he got it for a dirt cheap price and it fills his den/bar with energetic sound which is his requirement to begin with. Those are the reasons why he loves his Bose...and in no way does he have poor taste in audio.In my case, I bought my Lifestyle12 set to fit my requirement which is for a all in one compact system that is virtually invisible. Got a good deal for it and thats that. Im still happy with it to this day. Its uniqueness also appeals to me in a way because examples of all in one compact systems that are designed to be invisible are quite rare. Ripped off? nope. got a very good price for it.....again from a person who simply hated Bose. BTW I do have other speakers sytems in my house that will blow away the Lifestyle 12 but nonetheless i still like my Lifestyle 12. poor taste? hahaha...who cares what others think. as long as you are happy in this hobby.
OT:What then can you say about this:http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_STATIC_PAGE_EVENT&url=/learning/project_sound/bose_suspension.jsp
Wala naman problema kahit billion of pesos or dollars pa worth ng Bose. As long as they drop that "Better Sound Through Research" claim.
pero kung compare mo ang price nang Klipsch sa Bose laki nang pinag-kaiba. Too much price, less quality.
Wait lang po! Yung acoustimass 15 How much? Complete HT system na to ah (5.1 set-up) Yung Klipsch RF25 (stereo floorstander ito di ba) Magkano kaya kung 5.1 set-up ng Klipsch. We're talking of HT speaker set-up.....Just me.
Remeber yung speaker nila na nasa aquarium, mayron na bang naka duplicate nito
Nice one Remeber yung speaker nila na nasa aquarium, mayron na bang naka duplicate nito
Sir hindi lang price ang tignan mo pati yung kind of materials used sa speakers nila and how they build it...
Sir, I don't feel what you mean. When I buy things, I make it a point that the item really excites me. I don't buy on impulse specially on audio gears. I visit , look and try to ask for a demo (kung walang masyadong buying customer) as frequent as I can and check my pocket if I can afford it na. Then when the right time comes, I buy it na and take it home na parang bata at tuwang tuwa sa bago kong toy and enjoy it. Well its human nature na magsawa at maghanap ng bago. But this doesn't mean that we were sacked by any body. No body forces us to make our buying decisions. It is we and we alone ourselves and more often than not later we realised that we made a bad decision but it doesn't mean na yung "Kapalaran ni Juan ay kapalaran din ni Pedro". Kung masaya si Pedro hindi sigurado na masaya din si Juan or the other way around. But don't judge people on how they make decisions, its their own call.I AM HAPPY WITH MY BOSE!just me.
Can you do factory visit before buying anything? Brand perception is the name of the game.
Natatawa nga ako eh, do you need to submerged a speaker para mapatunayan ang performance nito, sino makikinig dun isda o serena? They always try to trick peoples mind para makabenta lang. It is not necessary to submerge speaker under water to prove their waterproof. Dahil sa weather natin rain, sunshine, or snow kahit splash proof lang okey na, wala naman nakikinig sa ilalim ng tubig eh, saka sinong matinong tao ang maglulubog ng speakers niya sa ilalim ng tubig, ano isusunod nila ilulubog na nila sa putik. Hehehe!
amen to that bro. Nobody is saying that Bose is the best speaker sold out there. The thing that I just dont get it why people are judging others and say that they have poor taste in audio just because they bought a bose. such an immature statement. The CEO in the company that I work for has a Wave system in his office....I dont think he has poor taste in audio...he has a killer rig at home that consists of Martin Logan, Audio Reasearch and Musical Fidelity. yung iba kasi naka pag upgrade lang at natuto ng konti sa kakabasa sa threads at sa pag audition ng iba-ibang speakers ay "audiophile" na agad ang tingin sa sarili.
Sir being observative and analytical makikita mo naman kung oky at pulido ang make and made ng isang product. kahit hindi ka pumunta sa factory nila, just a little research you'll know, kung your buying a good one, pero kung brand rat ka its up to you. yun nga lang you rely so much on brand not on the performance pero ganun talga there are people more on brand. anyways better enjoy your BOSE system...
Being a CEO doesnt mean your superior to all.And by the way hindi lang sa pagbabasa ng threads at pag audiotion ng iba-ibang speakers ay magiging audiophile kana,if you studied it at may expirience ka for 15years and designed many auditoriums at recording studios including local and abroad and contributed research in acoustics sa isang big audio company, can you say your an audiophile?
E di sa Dai-Ichi na lang. compare it side by side with bose. get a noobie that has no outright experience in Audio and HT. Im 100% sure, Dai-Ichi ang pipiliin nya mas OK. Yan ang hirap sa Bose, may sariling showroom. Ayaw ma compare side by side. Sa pagkaka alam ko, sila lang may ganiton practice.
This are basic things and natural to humans but not to RATS!!@###@#@**
