Has anyone else noticed that since the BOSE corp started advertising in Sound & Vision the mag's also got products to review and given them GLOWING reviews.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not naive enough to think that there aren't good reviews in exchange for advertising dollars in magazines of all kinds, but I didn't expect it from Sound & Vision/BOSE. How will they keep their credibility when they say that good sound for a good price is a BOSE hallmark? They even put the Lifestyle 38 in their 'Reviewers Choice Awards' which are dedicated to "tech break throughs, leaps forward in performance, or a bold design statement".
Guess I'm just venting my frustration and wondering if anyone else has seen this and feels the same way.
