About 20 years ago, they pulled some really unethical stuff on one of my
consulting clients -- held a meeting with the design team for that
client to demonstrate their stuff, insisted that their sound system
consultant (me) could not be present, and had the participants sign NDAs
-- they couldn't even tell anyone that the meeting had happened.
The saying about Bose among audio professionals, "Better sound through
marketing" could be equally applied to a certain ham mic and headphone
company based in Illinois.

## agreed. Remember the infamous Bose... wave radio ?? It’s a tiny
thing that sits on your kitchen counter top,and has an arc to the plastic
casing, etc.
You know the one..they do these stupid 1 hr infomercials at 2AM most
nights..on several TV channels.
## I find it amusing that the Bose corporate headquarters building is shaped
exactly the same as the
Bose ..wave radio. The building looks like one big wave radio.
## What other speaker manufacturer uses 10-15db of EQ at both the bottom
and top end..just to
get their speakers to sound flat ? Nobody. And that’s exactly what they do
on their Flagship
Bose 901..now series 6 speakers. Pointing 16 tiny speakers at a gyproc wall,
and bouncing the
sound off it is a class act....and fubar.
