Bose has some questionable products at questionable prices like the cubes and subwoofer period of it's operation. On the other hand I provided warranty service for Bose for years and some of the stuff was difficult to work on because it was constructed so solidly. I guess Bose is hit and miss on product.I have a healthy hate for certain brands of speakers.. Bose is at the Top of the list.. Maybe because people claim they are high end.. anyone here who love them?
I, too, hate Bose. Why? Because I was forced to listen to the 901 a great deal in 1975-76.
I also hate Klipschorns, because of the muffled "tin-can" vocal region.
Forced?
I heard a 4 speaker setup with 901s and it was kool. Not sure how it would have compared in a soundroom against other stuff but I liked it at the time.Forced? While I went to some parties with well setup 901s back then (but earlier) they were fun in that situation compared to quite a few others' setups.....

Wouldn't want to force a story about your being forced....It's a long story, and not what it seems. Jim
I don't hate any brands, but I have to say that I'm dubious of the following: PS Audio, Klipaudulesch, Bose, Sonus, B&W, AudioQuest and Transparent. The last two I may not hate but I disrespect.
Based on recent experience, you can add Verizon Fios to the wider market list.In audio: Schiit , Zu, PS Audio, Wilson, and Transparent/ MIT.
In the wider market: Comcast, Paypal, and Facebook.
Yep, mine too... the majority of bose speakers are complete rubbish, overpriced "lifestyle" junk.Bose is at the Top of the list
LOL wish I had near that capability ever offered where I am, we just got updated from DSL (and I was in a good location) to a cable service that has declined from originally about 80-100 Mbps to current 30-40 range (assume due more subscribers switching over without necessary hardware upgrades)....but FIOS speeds even when I lived in the SF Bay Area were not available in two places I lived there.Based on recent experience, you can add Verizon Fios to the wider market list.

Bose has always been a ripoff. And litigious.
And they have a lot of people snowed.
