bad experience

"I got these speakers when I moved because I didn't want to pack/wanted to upgrade from my companion 3's.

First off, the good. These sound fantastic. If you had your eyes closed you'd probably think there were 4 speakers. Bose is always the best when it comes to great sound in a compact package. Thes …"  Read Full Review »
