Bose is just a stereo, B&O is an investment.

Bose makes mediocre mid-fi equipment that is easily hidden in a room. B&O makes outstanding equipment that is beautiful enough to show. B&O has a permanent display in the Museum of Modern Art. The stuff is absolutely gorgeous. But beneath that beautiful facia is a myriad of very well-engineered electronic marvels that are extremely useful.
I've got a Bang & Olufsen MX5000/VX5000 video system that I bought over a decade ago and it still functions flawlessly and looks as good today as the day I took it out of the box. Sure it costs more but you're paying for quality. The picture quality on my B&O television is still superior to anything available today, with the possible exception of digital HDTV.
There are other systems out there that sound better from a pure audiophile standpoint but they are no less expensive and don't offer anywhere near the level of sophistication or design.
