Points -:
- Its loaded serious is the BOSE, it can tire, but you have an equalizer on your computer at worst
- Spatial average, it's a bit messy by comparison with Focal XS-book, it is not stereo, but nothing shocking well (usually on her computer we do not pay too much attention to what you listen)
- Digital input but not an audiophile dac does not bring much to desktop speakers
Conclusion: in a salon I do not like but especially this pair of BOSE speakers computer is designed without actual fault outside a bass sound (which can greatly displease some ears). I do not see anything really blame them.
EDIT: with iTunes equalizer correction can be made neutral and the result is quite pleasant is not the pleasure of the book but the XS congestion criteria, ergonomics and breath annoying low volume on focal make me prefer BOSE.
