Ahh, the vaunted Bose speakers. Bose makes great noise-cancelling headsets, but their speakers, well...
If you own Bose, then hold your nose
and test your ears as well.
For when you get your hearing back
youll know theyre not too swell.
Youve got 12 bucks of paper cones
and a flimsy cardboard box --
not enough to be bare bones,
much less to say It rocks!
No top, no bass, just muddy noise
and cabinet resonance too.
Its clear now that the K-Mart boys
gave you a royal screw.
Why buy Paradigm or Energy, B&W or NHT
when you can shell out twice as much
for Taiwan quality?
But be indignant; tell yourself
you dont really think it sucks.
(what else can you do after flushing 600 bucks?)
You know as much as all us snobs
who put your purchase down.
Cuz now you is an awdeohfyle
with direct reflecting sound!
So what's the deal with "middle speakers" that I have read about? Supposedly to enhance / isolate conversation from background music in movies? Gimmick or good idea? I definitely have problems sometimes making out conversations in some movies -- the music seems to overwhelm the speech. Still not sure if it just isn't my ears getting older. smile
In a Dolby Digital system the center channel will be getting 60% of the work load. A good center channel will make it much easier to hear dialog.
