Today I purchased the Bose Companion 3 Speakers at the Bose Outlet at Cabezon, CA. I’ve been checking out this speaker for months. I couldn’t decide between the lower model Companion 2 system (no subwoofer) @ $99 and the Companion 5 system @ $349.99. The good thing about the Bose Outlet store aside from the...
