From the Logitech specs. 3 stereo channels at 62w RMS (for a total of 186w) and another 188w for the sub. ALL at RMS, not peak. Mind you, those THD figures are a bit high at max. volume, but Bose never state theirs at max. power at all. Anywhere (I looked).
Looks like there's plenty of 'assuming' to go around...
Now, don't get me wrong... The Bose probably sounds pretty good for it's size (I play through an L1 Classic every now and again so quit with the 'you've got to play before you comment' crap, OK?
) but is it $700 better than the Logitech?
And the Logitech IS in stereo. So, in truth, to get approx. the same power and in stereo as the Logitech, it takes $2000
Compared to $300
Is it worth $1700 for an easier setup? And a bit more projection?
I'm not TELLING anyone to do anything (unlike some of the Bose zealots). Go ahead with the Bose. No skin off my nose!
I'm just trying to inject a little fiscal responsibility in here!
