I have never understood this Bose thing, the speakers are some of the
worst ones on the market and they are flying out the doors all day long.

1) Many people like the sound of Bose. Regardless of how distorted that sound
might be, the fact that people like it is most important. (And purposely
distorting sound is very much the premise of many effects boxes used to
produce music, after all!)
2) Bose does a good job of marketing their product as something that appeals
to the 'hip' crowd, just like Apple has done with the iPod.

Its all marketing BS like the Wizbang cables to hook things up.

Yep, but given that something like a stereo system is 100% a 'want' and not a
'need,' anything goes! I.e., no need for the government to regulate it, let
people spend their excess cash on whatever they want...
