The phrase "More Cowbell" came about from the producer/engineer using Bose speakers as playback monitors.
This said, I did like the Bose 301/II for background music.

I’ve heard quite a few audiophile speakers that used expensive drivers in ways that...well, didn’t suit my taste. Quite a few speakers using Focal tweeters made me feel like that guy in the movie Seven Beauties who went to “better @@%%@!. Say what you want about Bose but a Bose speaker never made me want to leave the room.
