I own a BOSE PC system and was building another setup for another room. I had considered buying another BOSE but was not sure I needed to go that route. After some reviews I came upon the Klipsch system. I can say that the Klipsch system holds it's own in several areas against the BOSE for about half the price. The sound is great and the inputs for headphones/line in are at the desktop level. One advantage that this unit had over my BOSE system was the sub level control on the desktop speaker. It was a pain having to adjust that from behind the subwoofer on the BOSE unit. This may have changed on newer BOSE systems? The bass response is great on the Klipshch but in my opinion this is the only area that the BOSE unit is superior. It still packs a punch and for half the cost of a BOSE system I think anyone would appreciate the performance and value.
What's great about it: The sound and the desk level controls and connectivity (line in, headphone)
