Is touring worth it?

I'm not sure what you mean by flattopping - are you refering to clipping or roll off? If you are trying to tell me your built in laptop speakers are better than the 8 speaker system in the car that is actaully driven by amps I'm not sure why we are having this conversation.... clarity maybe but if you want more than 20dB of audio out....

Hmm ... laptop with 4 speakers plus an actual, separate subwoofer? The Qosmio line was designed for gamers. If I need personal +loudness+ I put on a set of Sennheiser 'phones without bothering neighbors. But here on the Jersey shore, where everyone thinks they're supposed to like (or be like) the Boss, I'd rather have accurate than Pontiac blow-it-out-yer-paper-cones NOISE.

As to the comments about driving with ear buds, etc. -- well, I don't do that. But most of the time driving I don't even listen to the radio, because it's (b)anal and because I'd rather hear traffic around me. There are parked times, when one really wants to hear music, and the Bose shortcomings are just too much in the way of it to make for an enjoyable experience.
