Bose speakers - $210 a piece!

 Yes, Didi said there is a core charge of $120 each. I may have a stab at
replacing the failed capacitor myself. Dealing directly with Bose might be
sound advice as well.
 I'm in the process of getting my wife's '91 200q fixed up because she's now
thinking she wants to keep it - but of course she says she still wants to test
drive other cars. Gees I wish she'd make up her mind!
