When I auditioned the (2) S1s, I could not get them to stop clipping, at very low levels. They simply did not handle any bass (and believe me, I'm very tame on bass volume). I'm starting to think I got some bad speakers from Bose. They were so bad, two wouldn't fill a 100 sq' ft room.

The worst part was how they stuck on my dual pole mounts. I had to use a rubber mallet to get them off.

Yesterday, for the very first time, I only set up one 8.2. Pigeon holed into a setup near a water cooler allowed for little room and I copped an attitude. The sound through one speaker was dreadful...
