Bose serves a place in the audio world, just not in home theater (IMO).

Quad pole? Sounds like marketing-speak. Looks like it's still four drivers, but where others normally mount the woof's on the outward radiating sides of the box, they chose to put them on top and bottom. Maybe this helps in creating a more diffused effect (wider null area). I don't know, but it still looks like a 'dipole' to me.

Anyway, if you can audition some of these speakers in your area, that might help you decide what camp you want to build your system in. Have you tried to see if there's anyone in your area that would give a demo?

2 cents.
