Hi Mike (keybplayer)

ok, listen, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and this whole thing has been rehashed so much on this forum, I'm (really!) not going to add to it.

I wasn't sure (by the end of your post) if you were referring to Bose's Home/Consumer products or the Professional L1 systems. (Perhaps your tarnishing them all with the same brush?)

Anyway, if you're referring directly to the L1 and accessories, you should honestly go to the Bose forums - and for the heck of it, re-post your original post there, and see what happens.

Now I say this, because what I think (and hope) will happen is the "At-Bose" technical people will ask you further about why you think the way you do, and will also try to answer ANY question you have with the utmost sincerity and respect and knowledge. The other forum members will hopefully be polite enough to chime in with their views.

The Bose forums really are an incredible place to be, I've learned so much - wasn't hard *heh* - and the Bose staffers who frequent the boards CONSTANTLY, are some of THE most inspirational and knowledgeable people/Musicians I've met either "virtually" or in real life.

Seriously Mike, you're "a man" so honestly go to the Bose forums and have it out with them - into the Lion's den so to speak.

I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised.
