Well the first system was a Pioneer. Then when digital came out, I decided
on an Onkyo. It seems like systems I've cost around $300, U.S. for these.

Ah, I see where you're coming from.
Well an audiophile has never - to my knowledge at any rate - said there
wasn't or isn't a choice, the only point most make is that Surround-Sound
gear is not really the type of stuff for the lovers of good music and as I
said earlier, the consumer can buy something that sounds very good in stereo
for the price of a cheap surround-sound system so I take the point and the
choice is yours.

The fact is - whether we like it or not - 99% of the recorded music on
the Planet was never recorded for surround-sound systems, it was either
recorded in stereo or Mono.

Hi this is Brian Sackrider and it is a matter of prefference on how to
listen to music if you listen toyour music in stereo or in surround
sound that is your prefference. I used to have a pioneer surround sound
system it was the htp 55 and I did like to listen to music in surround
sound I liked the concert hall effect and all of the seperation and the
acoostic effects. in my opinion that is the only to listen to music in
full surround sound you just can't get that kind of sound from stereo
speakers iI do like to hear good stereo speakers but there is no
compearason to listening to music in surroundsound.

You're right, they don't like surround-sound and they do have a point.
Surround-Sound systems are not designed for pure music listening,
you're better off with a good stereo amp and a good pair of stereo
speakers for doing things like that and here's their point, for the
cost of a surround-sound system you can buy better sound stereo amp and
speakers.
In short, surround-sound is for entertaining and enjoyable listening.

Well it's too bad some people are like that. I don't think
audiophiles would like surround sound. Someone told me once that when
you add more speakers to the mix with surround sound, there is some
loss of quality. Heck, I even used to use a graphics equalizer with
one piece of equipment I had, but when I bought surround sound, the
equalizer made things sound distored, so I quit using it. Audiophiles
don't like graphic equalizers.

I know audiophiles don't like them. I've seen it on youtube. People

and hell,
I've even seen death threats.

As much as Bose users won't like to hear it, you won't find a Bose
system or
product mentioned in an audiophile magazine but that's nice to say
their
products are cheap, nasty and rubbish because that just isn't the
case.
The products are reasonable at worst and the company is very good to
deal
with, or it is here at any rate.
I've been able to try before I buy the products I have in my own
home, there
was one product I didn't like and I told Bose so after the trial,
they made
arrangements to pick the product up from me and I was given a refund
of the
purchase price, no questions asked.
I had a problem with my Bose Soundlink Air and a pickup of the old
and
delivery of the new replacement was arranged, again no questions
asked, no
hitches etc, I just had to identify who I was.

I wonder if anybody on list owns this speaker from Bose. It costs
$300.
I saw one briefly last evening at the Verizon store, as I was
purchasing my new iPhone and was pretty impressed with the sound,
given the size of the box. I really haven't looked all that much in
to this sort of speaker. I have an older dock that works with the
older style iPhone connectors, and it really sounds pretty good,
but
my better half has sort of taken it over for use in his class-room.
So I'd like to know from those who have experienced this equipment,
what did you think, and are there other units you'd recommend as
good
competition? I like the size and the volume and depth of sound, but
am not thrilled with the $300 price tag, naturally.
