Bose Woes. NAC

[TM]

Ray-
I totally agree w/ your suggestion to scrap the Bose in the Audi, but
"excellent home equipment?!?"

You're kidding, right? Bose is overpriced, well-marketed crap. For the
cost of the cool-looking Lifestyle system, I can build a B&W/Rotel
system
that will smoke it sonically. My current stereo setup will smoke
anything
that Bose makes:

Rotel Integrated Amp (yes, very underpowered for my speakers)
Rotel CD
B&W Matrix 803SII

Once I go to a proper separates setup- 200W+ power amp and decent preamp
(thinking Rotel RB-991 and used AR LS-9 or similar), it will be
incredible.
