whats better a kirsch surround sound or a bose?

Answer 1

Bose is a low-end product, not the high-end one they portray themselves as in their marketing. Unfortunately they also price their products as though they were high-end. Kirsch (no relation to Klipsch) is a scam. If you are not familiar with the "white van speaker scam" do a search for this topic and you will learn that Kirsch is one of the most notorious brands involved. These con artists produce very cheap products, develop a website upon which they show outlandish specs and an enormously inflated price. They then sell this cheap junk on places like EBay and Craigslist where you cannot hear them first. They are sold way below the list price on the Internet site making people think they are getting a great deal when in fact they are paying many times more than the speakers are worth.

I don't recommend either brand. There are dozens of good speaker brands to choose from. Just a small list of some would include M&K, Monitor Audio, B&W, Paradigm, Boston Acoustics, and Definitive Technology. Get some good Audio / Video magazines and do a lot of reading online. Go to high-end audio stores and listen to what they have. You will soon get an idea of what kind of speakers are best for you.

Answer 2

Yes Bose is overpriced, and inferior even compared to MUCH cheaper speakers. Brands? How about anything BUT Bose? Sony, Klipsch, Definitive Technology, Kirkland (yes, Costco's generic brand)... Bose does not use a subwoofer. No, they legally cannot call their "Bose Bass Unit" (or whatever) a subwoofer because it's not a subwoofer. It's an overpriced, over-engineered thing that tries to sound like a subwoofer but fails miserably. Any set of speakers can do window-rattling-loud. Whether or not they can produce clear notes both in the treble and bass regardless of the volume is another matter. My brother-in-law has a high end Bose system, but honestly it just makes noise. You don't hear music or feel the explosions, you just hear loud fuzzy noise. I don't even need to turn the system up very loud to get room thumping bass, and I don't lose the higher end of the spectrum either. Honestly, the receiver doesn't make a lot of difference with regards to the sound. Pick on based on the features and inputs you need. Here, too, Bose falls behind. For $200-300, you can get a entry level receiver with multiple HDMI inputs and a swath of other audio inputs to satisfy most home setups. For speakers, I got a nice set of bookshelf speakers and a 10" subwoofer kit from Definitive Technology for $500. For something from Bose that even has a single HDMI port on it, and their fakey speaker setup, you're at least looking something that costs thousands of dollars, and is essentially a crippled home-theater-in-a-box (HTIB) unit with no additional inputs other than one for your iPod (and ONLY your iPod.) I dunno. >$1000 for a receiver and non-proprietary speakers that will last me a life time, vs. thousands for inferior speakers which will fall apart after 10 years or so and can only be used with other Bose products (maybe) Yeah, that's a toughie.

Neither are worth a crap. For good surround sound speakers, see the link below. While your there, look at all their speakers. This what I have in my place & it puts all other brands of speakers to shame.

Answer 5

Test the system at your place. There is electronic store that provide home trial run (7days money back guarantee) and you can listen which system fit your place better. I know Audio House provide this service.

Answer 6

B&W speakers are ******* AMAZING! I also have Boston's in my car and if there home speakers sound as good as there mobile ones do they would be a great choice as well.
