Probably my memory is failing me -- it's been so long since I looked
at Bose literature that it might very well be that most of the
drivers are in the back (as opposed to how I remembered it, most in
the front).  For the case in question, I did not (obviously) take
the speaker apart to see where the drivers were.  What I did do was
to observe that the speaker enclosure was pointed backwards.  (At
least, most audio places have them set up with the flat side
forward; whereas this place had the pointy side forward.)

Whether pointing forwards or backwards, they still sound bad.
