Even in the context of corporate conglomerates Bose is a poor citizen, responsible for a lot of bad law.1) They successfully sued "Consumer Reports" for libel for saying that images wandered about the room with the 901s.
2) They successfully sued Thiel for Thiel's use of "2.2" in a speaker model name.
3) They successfully sued Harmon/Infinity for using an elliptical horn shape.
These are all free speech or technologically chilling decisions. (Some of these cases were/are on appeal.)Their company is akin to a corporate cult, in my personal opinion, much like MBNA.
I haven't listened to all their stuff, so I can't say it's all junk, but there are lots of speakers out there which are far superior. Shop wisely.
