Well take them back for the love of god whilst you still can then audition the other main contenders in the same price bracket.
ALl you are doing is funding the BOSE marketing machine. Their materials are horrific, design is a load of tosh, then they market it as some revolutionary new patented *insert fancy word that means nothing* speakers.
Inclined to agree, you really are paying for a name with bose.
I was over in america back in the 90's when the bose acustimass first hit mainsteam, and it was pretty revolutioary at the time, using descreet satelites and a seperate sub. sounded good too...for a small home set-up.
Nowadays theres many better solutions available....I must stress that you should hear a systems side by side when choosing somthing.
A perfect example of this, is when I was shopping for an MP3 player dock for my dad, we auditioned all the regulars, altec lansing, bose, JBL etc.
We ended up buying an "intempo" dock for about £80, it was not the most expensive, but it sounded significantly better than the other junk.
niether of us had ever heard of intempo, so it just goes to show, let your ears be the judge.
