The best? Absolutely not. The best at marketing Hype? That I will give you.
BOSE is a joke. They won’t even publish the frequency response curves for their speakers. They are selling you a Chevy for the price of a Mercedes. The placebo effect of paying more makes them appear to sound better. 5.1 sound from a 2.1 system? Bose marketing department rocks!
+1 for that Klipsch system. I’ve heard it before. Its a pretty respectable system at a nice price.
You can get a full 5.1 home theater system in the price range of that Bose 2.1
