Working on a lifestyle technology magazine like SmartHouse one sees a lot of technology gear from notebooks to TV's to top end Hi Fi systems to the latest attach gear for iPods and PCs.
But occasionally one gets blown away by the sheer performance and design of a product. In my case it is the latest desktop speakers from Bose. These small monsters are not only impressive but look good.
When I first heard them I was sitting a Hotel suite high above Sydney with a Bose executive who was demonstrating them in a controlled environment.
So it was not till I got back to my office and plugged them into a PC running Vista that I got blown away by the sheer quality and depth of the reproduction that these speakers delivered.
After playing the Bose demo DVD I then moved to an array of music from classical to rock to good old jazz and with each track the performance just got better and better. Even in a gaming environment these little beasts delivered.
