With the right amount of coffee and indignation I could probably go on forever about the days when a six CD changer was a good purchase and people would drop two sawbucks on a CD, have change for a coffee and be happy in the knowledge that the CD they picked up would actually play on everything that they owned that had a CD slot (and wouldn't blow the thing up).... etcetera etcetera.
But enough of that. There's plenty of that on the web.
Take a look at that wall. That wall is nuts.
Just those little hangy lights over the dinky speakers - wiring those things up ain't cheap. And then we get to those indentations! Forget it. It took me six years of workers to go from explanation to completion for "I would like the roof to no longer leak and drip water on the head of my bed when it rains." I can't imagine how long "I would like a sequence of symmetrical indentations to draw contrast to the built in shelves that you will build to hold my CD player and their impossibly dinky speakers" could take.
I'm sure they sound nice, and the enormous remote is probably a great help as well.
Bose "Lifestyle" entertainment system circa 1996 - still goes for around $500 on eBay.
Bose "Lifestyle" entertainment system circa 2006 - As much as $4,000. (They now play DVD's, mp3 disks, and has a music storage playback hard drive).
