This is getting just a tad extreme.  I'm the first to admit that
the Bose car audio system sounds, for the most part, no better
than most stock systems (IMO, the A4's stock system is superior
to the Bose).  And yes, the Bose image is fueled by lots of
clever marketing.  But saying that it's a "totally crappy
product" is probably overstating the case a bit.  Their home
line is fine and addresses a real, and large, market; those
98% of consumers who aren't critical about audio and just
want to listen to music.  Their stuff isn't badly made.  It
just sounds mediocre.  If you listen to their car line and
like the sound, there's no reason not to buy it.  The drivers
aren't gonna disintegrate in 2 months, etc.  IMO, your
money could be better spent on "better sounding" stuff, but
sound is very subjective.
