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...


A Dealer wont give $1500 for a $5000 Taylor/

25% of retail MSRP is the norm for trade ins. Anyone trading in MI gear at a Music Store is not very smart, especially something in demand with a active used market. High end gear is usually a bargain and in demand.

If one is talking RAP and Sub frequency dance music, nothing less than an 18" SUb will do the best job. A Bose System can easily suffice for pop top 40. ballroom or whatever dancing...Especially adding another $300 Sub.
