They are amazing! I heard 'em a while back at a local shop..., but, I opted for the Bose!!!

I remember looking at the Bose Acoustimass 5 but after hearing them, ran far away and bought my Audioengine A5+ speakers with the SB sub-woofer. No regrets and never ever looked as Bose speakers for my PC.

That said, I do own a Bose soundbar system with the subwoofer, as well as a couple of pair of their nose cancelling headphones including the HD 700 BT phones. I simply didn't like the sound of their "PC" speakers.

Anyway congrats on the new speakers. I assume they have a built in amp?

I don't really have much knowledge to recent Bose's line up. Just read some reviews.
But back in early 90s when analog system still in its glory, Bose was among most friends choices. By that time I still had an old blaupunkt system. I built the rest home system as a home brew which many audio magazines supported a system created through soldering components to self made board by soaking a printed PCB in ferro solution. Still remember how happy I was when sucessfully made one and kicking window glass. Yeah, my Dad wasn't about it. He said "You do nothing except making a lot of noise here!" :crys:

It's still functioning now but keep it in the box at my backyard. Keep it as part of my sweet memories.

Cool you were into it like that. I didn't go that deep but did/do dabble in audiophile setups :)

Anyway, I first heard of Bose back in the late 70's when I heard their 901 floor/wall speakers at a party. Powerful speakers, but you need a strong amp to push them.

I believe the 901's put Bose's name out to the world. I always thought about getting a pair but never did. Now I have no need for them.

Yeah it was. But in early 2016 the company was sold after announcing its bankruptcy.
Back in the day we have our own way to satisfy the ears for audiophile stuffs. I made home build as most of its equipments way far beyond my money can buy.

My last online purchase has nothing to do with any thing tech related. It will be a plus for our little Ginger. A 10+ year old terrier mix. It is arriving tomorrow.

Hey, one of the last things I bought were socks! I hope Ginger loves her steps!

Not sure how to count this. I technically ordered it from Weta Workshop in New Zealand in June, but it just was charged to my card and shipped today.

Thanks! She knows she's getting it, but they said it wouldn't be made until early-2022 because of backorder. I'm not telling her it's on the way. It should be here in a week or so. She'll be thrilled to get it!

Good man.. I love to do things like that for Erin.

I have a good tripp-lite surge protector but I don't know if it is germ-proof. Should I get one of these

Just got this. It is still too nice out to go in and start playing with it

I obviously missed that you got the Bose. That said, I was talking about the Edifier speakers you posted about

I often wish I had!
I wasn't prepared to spend that much on the Edifiers, at the time..., then some time later the Bose went on sale.
Sorry bout the confusion.

I had Bose speakers at one time.. the 601 model and they were amazing.

Thanks, so far so good.

Good to hear. I'm picky about my keyboard. It has to be a mechanical and it must be solid. Right now I'm thinking of getting a Das Keyboard in Feb

I have to have my ohm walsh 2 speakers refurbished. That cost more than they originally did decades ago, but the clarity and imaging on the was spectacular. You could place where every instrument was in the orchestra.

Gotta find something modern that can drive them too - they are 4 ohm impedance. The Onkyo amp I had had power transistors that were well mated with these.
