I have a friend who is a serious audiophile...Kliptsch speakers, et al, and has his own sound meter and is a meticulous guy. While I'm quite content with my Bose in the Z, especially since I only use it when I'm under 50 mph and ride around with the Targa top out listening to the Borlas and the LT5 for the most part, here's what he and his audiophile buddies have to say: "If it has no highs and no lows, it must be Bose!" Made me laugh as these are the equivalent of wine snobs as applied to sound. it's true that Bose gets rid of some sound that they consider un necessary. It's also true that my friend worships at the holy grail of: "huge speakers and huge amps of 400 amps or more, minimum." Sort of different for me and to continue the wine analogy, not worth buying me $200 bottles of wine as my pallet is only good enough to manage the difference to about $40 a bottle.

He is very knowledgable and spends enormous amounts at home on speakers and headphones chasing "pure, full and rich sound."

I'm sorta content with what I have and then there's the beast and the borlas which is way better anyway.

Thought you'd enjoy the audiophile view...
