Nope. In fact, Bose products in general aren't that great:

The 301 is not a big improvement from the 201; I'd say not worth the money.

If you really want to increase sound quality, consider buying new speakers (either new or vintage) from brands like:

Vintage: Rectilinear, KLH, Advent, DCM, AR (Acoustic Research), JBL, Harmon Kardon, Genesis Physics (NOT Genesis media labs)

New: Definitive Technology, Cambridge Soundworks Model Six, Bowers and Wilkins (B&W)

Newer speakers will most likely be less expensive than vintage speakers, although some vintage speakers may require maintenence to sound their best (don't worry, it usually costs no more than $30 to fix them, or no more than $10 if the woofers are not made of foam; additionally, some vintage speakers are still working perfectly without maintenance).
