I don't at all believe it, but I'd have to hear it for myself. Nothing in the reviews or your comments lead me to believe that this product competes or blows away a $3,000 system. And as for a mini system, the price just seems absurd. For my mini system I run a Sonos and a SACD/DVDA to a Klipsch iFi. The sound is absolutely awesome, especially for $400. I honestly cannot justify the F80, 861, 800 and 808 in the way that I can justify the Meridian 561, 568.2 and G68. If the reviews were proclaiming it to be a wonder of engineering, I'd be impressed. But this simply is not the case.

And let's not forget, Bose simply sucks.
