Bose is excellent at Turd-Polishing. Let me explain: Where a traditional provider might go and buy proper drivers with good response throughout the frequency range, and take care in designing a crossover, etc, when designing a speaker, Bose is more about taking reasonably ok speaker elements and then using signal processing to clean them up. If they have a bit of a weak spot say at the high or low end, they will boost those with dynamic equalization. If there is some phase distortion, often this can be cleaned up with DSP processing. And so on.
Often this results in a better-sounding speaker than a traditional system. But this is not without compromise as sometimes the result is not as 'pure' as a decently designed traditional system. But for 99% of the people out there it's going to sound perfectly acceptable if not just as good as the expensive system. In some cases, you'd even find that many people prefer the sound from the Bose system since Bose often seems to optimize for the average listener's preferences instead of what a "true audiophile" would choose. Where an audiophile would look for flatness and purity, an average person just wants something which sounds pleasing with most things they'll play through it. If the system colors the playback a bit, but it sounds better, most people won't care.
