In Reply to: If you aren't an audiophile, why do you have an audiophile system?... posted by musetap on May 13, 2021 at 23:56:02:
Roughly 20 years ago, I met someone (doing repair/maintenance work in my house) who called himself an audiophile, and invited me to his house to listen to his "Bose system"..... He said this explicitly, as if it was something really special to listen to......
At the time, I "brushed off" the invite, and lost touch with the individual shortly thereafter..... But in retrospect, I wish I followed up on his offer, just to satisfy my curiosity on how that Bose system actually sounded.....
I also remember, from the rec.audio Usenet days, a guy named Gary Eickmeier, who was also a big proponent of Bose speakers. Used to drive fellow audiophiles crazy on the rec.audio boards.
