I agree with "notanaudiophile", I'm used to more objective reviews here, also the pricepoint at wich the comparison with the other alternatives is not revealed, how much does "spend a bit more" means?
Currently, on Amazon, the price of the alternatives described such as the KEF options are almost 10 times the price of the bose companion, is the sound is 10 times better? for ~$135 USD are the bose still a bang for buck?
i want good sound but paying $1,200 for desktop speakers is currently a NO-GO when I already have a decent pair of cans.
