There's a lot of British makers that'll give you a most satisfying listening exp.
Personally I would stay away from Bose.

I got a lesson on Bose many years ago when inquiring at an independent electronics shop about some of their equipment. They had it for comparison reasons but did not sell it.
Bose sells a good product. They also spend the most on marketing and anyone who sells their products agree to their price; you can't really shop around for better prices, its all price-controlled by Bose.
After the Bose demo, I received a demo of a Denon receiver with Boston Acoustic speakers. The sound was actually better...at less than half the cost.
My conclusion about Bose was very good equipment but very overpriced due to its huge amount of marketing and price controls.

Odean 73, I too just got the mini bluetooth Bose speak and think it is great. It wasn't that expensive in relation to others I tested and had the best bass response. For a small little think it really can put out great sound. I also have the Bose noise canceling headphones and those are amazing!

the thing about most domestic Bose audio equipment is that it isn't "Hi Fi" in the truest sense.
It's always engineered to sound very pleasant and listenable, with impressive scale but it's sonsequently too charactorful to reveal any real recording subtlety and detail.
I would however concede that, given the quality of much modern production and mastering, this won't always be a bad thing !
