I think what people are saying is m.smith could be someone with either a great deal or very little knowledge of home cinema's, speakers, etc. We have no idea who m.smith is, he could even be just a fictional person. If you said m.smith who is the editor for What Home Cinema magazine, you would show us that this person is knowledgable about home cinemas. I am interested boselover to know how long you have used hi-fi / home cinema products, and how many different types of equipment you have owned? I myself know very little about the subject, and so come here to learn from more experienced people than myself. It would be interesting to know what different types of equipment you have owned, and why you like Bose over everything else on the planet....
