That's cool. They actually sent someone. Yeah I like Bose speakers well enough. My only beaf now is they don't have a 7.1 system at the very least. I have heard speakers that seem to have more highs. Which I love for things like Godzilla 1998's tornado blast roar as the toy boxes always called it. Seriously especially Trendmasters. Ahahahahaha! Right now the crispist thing I have is the JBL speakers in my Samsung TV-monitor. I love hearing Zilla roar on those. You hear the wistle nice and sharp. The Soundlink system 3 did pretty good with this. Shockingly better then the Companion 5 vurtual surround sound USB speaker system. The Soundlink Mini onthe other hand, not so well. The Mini 2 which is now shaped like the system 3 and has the buttons in the same order as the system 3 did a bit better and worse. Wander how the sound touch stuff will do.
