Talk about a return on a investment.....After 25 years of use, my Roland Cubes are still worth what I paid (dealer cost at the time.. )...and remember one true statement...."you don't lose a dime until you sell them"

The trouble with the Bose depreciation..most people start out paying the "list" price...Go back in 2 months and see how much a dealer wants to give you for the Bose..

Also $1,100 as stated foe depreciation of a pair of Bose..is too much for me to consider in a loss for 2-3 years use....My aim is always to break even when I sell off equipment after it has done it's job..

The Bose does all the things that most people mentioned..you can hear equally through out the room..clear vocal range, light package.etc...On the exaggerated side are the numbers again like all the companies are playing....and as loud as you scream it can....They can not handle the "dance" crowd..where the "conventional systems do...

Not a put down, but a realistic observation...
