    Haha, I warned you. That looks like a step up, though I've never liked Bose's sound. Too much high and low, too little midrange.

      Not a fan of Bose either, but this will do for the multimedia speakers. I wasn't exactly looking for anything to rock the house with :-)

        In case those don't thrill you, these apparently kick ass (though they of course omit the low notes).

                        These don't seem to have speakers, that's what I meant.

                          The speakers pictured in my first post add $50, because they're on mega clearance. It's an option on the pull down menu.

                            Faust, the new version of the Sound Sticks is not as good as the older USB only versions. When they 'refreshed' the product they changed some things around which made them sound worse.

                            I haven't heard that Bose system yet, I hope you like the system you got. Next time you need stuff like this PM me.

                              While this thing is functional (and pretty), don't fool yourself into thinking it's the real deal. At best you'll get some "warm" sound as evidenced by the high THD (0.5%) (2nd order harmonics). No mention of audio transformers, poor noise floor, and 'hybrid' tube design says to me that this design was made to fulfill a marketing blurb and price point.

                              That being said, you may be entirely pleased with what you get, and don't let take that away from you.

                                Will do!

                                I like the Bose for what it is. I did not expect any earth shattering sound, but compared to the Apple computer speakers... you know. Electronic music sounds best on it, naturally, because of good treble and base - rock, not so much.
