Cons: The bass output is downright pathetic. No adjustment for the bass either!

Review: Well, I knew already that Bose has never been known for their subwoofer (Acoustimass® modules) as they call them. But I never expected to have to sit just a couple of feet away to even hear it. No level control either?! The regular speakers sound ...
