Neither B&O nor Bose offer good value for money.
**That would be YOUR opinion. For many of those who purchase B&O, it offers
a sense of style not provided by other products and, hence, represents good
value. Bose, OTOH, represents extremely poor value for money, since other
products can offer more for less. I suggest to you, however, that, due to
the prescence of wasteful output autoformers, that McIntosh amplifiers
represent spectacularly bad value for money.
Most Bose equipment
is poor in absolute terms whereas B&O is somewhat more presentale
technically, but both are horribly overpriced and a sure sign of
yuppity.
**And again: That is YOUR opinion. In a pure sonic sense, few arguments can
be made to defend B&O (and none for Bose), but with it's unique styling, B&O
may be the only alternative for many buyers.
Sonically, that is no longer true. B&O CD players sound as good as
anything on the market, are beautifully built, and are *much* more
stylish than almost anything else. The latest line of B&O active
speakers uses state of the art amplifier modules (also used by Rotel)
and their 'acoustic lens' speaker technology really does work. A B&O
system comprising any of their CD players and a pair of Lab 5 speakers
is truly high end by any standard, and may even be regarded as good
value in this rarefied market, at less than £15k for the lot.
