Default Those torturing US *******s...

Ok, I am afraid to ask, but how did you notice the glass bending?

On the edge of the case, Vaughan Williams is first in the list of
composers.
On the front is a nice landscape of rolling green hills. The headline
selection is the one I mentioned, along with Samuel Barber's "Adagio
for
Strings" a 3 others.

I think if you had it, you'd know. :-)


It's funny. We bought one of these fancy Bose 'Surround Sound' systems.
My
wife and I
argued about whether to get the unit with the 6 CD changer or the one
without. I
didn't want the changer. Well, we ended up with the changer. Now it
hardly
gets used,
because it's such a pain in the butt to use.

How's it sound? When I was in the biz, Bose speakers were mainly
attractive
to guys who wore backwards Caterpillar hats 24x7, and listened to nothing
but ZZ Top at full volume.


I'm no longer a Bose fan. They're too 'bassy' for me. But, my hearing is
not all that
great, so I need the treble boosted way up.

The only adjustment for bass and treble is on the subwoofer. I'd never
recommend the
set to anyone. But, it will play the Organ symphony loud enough to get the
neighbors
out of bed!


Part of the problem is that most production speakers are built for
moer bass response than is absolutely necessary. Bose speakers are
built with broader frequency response than most production speakers,
so I find that comment interesting.

Speaking of waking up the neighbors, when we were living up at the
farm house, I renovated a room as an office and sound proofed it,
installed my MacInstosh system with the Bozak Concert Grands and, with
the wife out of the house somewhere, cranked it up - first time I had
ever done that.

Believe it or not, I had to open up a window the sound pressure was
actually bending the glass.

Sadly, I can't do that anymore. :)
