Saw once in a factory outlet. Seems a bit cheaper. But warranty can be an issue. Nowadays I consider lucky if electronics still work after warranty.

thanks. noted that warranty may be an issue if not international.

not sure yet.

at the moment, maybe just the Bose companion 3 to replace my home PC.

Read that got discount from IT Show, but some said discounted price still more expensive than buying from US, given the strong S$.

thinking if really cheap, maybe can shop for bose home theater system too. :oops:

don’t buy Bose. They’re way over priced for what they deliver. Get the Travagans speakers. Much better than Bose.

i second Cimman - those who are siao about AV tell me not to waste my money on Bose.

for your home PC do you have a dedicated sound card?


if you’re going for quality the speakers and the sound card both play a part.

maybe you should look into it first before buying also?

if you DIY your PC you should look at the requirements of your motherboard to see what onboard sound card is capable of and then buy your speakers to augment the sound card.

my 2cents

i second that. bose is just about branding but about quality. they are way-off.
