If I had to buy again, it wouldn't be Bose ... If I had $3K + tax right now I wouldn't buy a new bose system... But I don't have huge regrets I bought it or anything ..

What you are describing is very common for Bose. They are great sounding when NOT broken in yet, as they break in (where most good speakers sound better with age) they begin to deteriorate. We used 1000 watt Bose Accoustimas pa self powered speaker cabinets in my old band and at first they sounded kick fucking ass! Properly mixed the band sounded like we were actually playing a cd the sound was soooo good. However as time went on the bottom end started getting floppy and mids pretty much dissapeared. $10,000 system down to the quality of cheap $300 pair of Cerwin Vega's pretty much in 3 years.
