I heard bose were overrated and lost power over the years?

I think Bose is over rated. If you have to save space, they're the way to go though, I suppose.

Here's what I want to know........ All you people recommending Bose...... What model #s do you (Or your parents) have and what are you using to power them with???

Bose sound great..... PROVIDED they are fed properly. Use a crappy reciever and they will reproduce crap. Use a decent power amp and they sound great.... BUT no matter what you have for power they still cannot produce LOUD decent bass....... Just simply NOT what they are designed for. This is coming from someone who has had Bose for years...... Acoustimass systems with up to 3 bass modules hooked up at the same time.... 201s 301s and 601s. Ran them with everything from 10 year old Pioneer pro logic recievers, to Sansui, some Carver, and my favorite an Onkyo M504. What do I rock out on? A good ol pair of Vegas..... TV/home theater bose is nice with the much needed addition of subs........ But they really do need to be fed properly. No different then feeding your new Leo goldfish.

Harmon Kardon all the way.

Signal quality is the same (in terms of importance) for all speakers, right? "A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link".

Bose for the win. I have the 3.2.1., and love it.

Next system I get will probably be the Lifestyle though

my neighbor has the lifestyles system says his 3.2.1 was just as good if not better in some aspects

I didn't even mention what I have. I went with MB Quart and I'm very satisfied.

i had there car audio and loved it there home speakers just as good... last i heard they were bought out by somebody (mtx i think) and my supplier stopped carrying them because of it dont know if thats true or not... or if it affected there performance

I had their weird 3ohm car audio as well I didn't have an amp that was stable under four ohms mono at the time so we liquid cooled it lol (old alpine V12)

The Quarts I have in the house are kind of old, I hope they didn't sell and go cheap

Klipsch is basically a cheaper version of Bose, they make very good units.
