Well well well, looks like Bose has pleased another woman, I also have high quality equipment as many of you do, and also have a Bose Ls 50 II, and I see this product as a system that is for the irritated women of the house.
I know they have a lot of downsides, but I also seemed to find my self in rschaaf's position.(please explain your name, makes no sense to me)
Anyway, have fun finding some innovative product to modify the remotes capability, I know I hadn't been able to find anything...
Ciao & Good luck!
