    Seriously, Joe and Mrs. 6-Pack - who make up the vast majority of the population - consider Bose to be one of the creame-del-a-creame of ausio. About the only other brand that offers more cache is Macintosh (but most consider them insanely overprices and devoted to an obsolete technology so don;t lust after them as they once might have).

    As for the affluent consumer (of the non-audiophile variety), listening to music is well down on the list of priorities when it comes to discrectionary income. The high-end's low profile doesn't help, fopr sure, but even if it WAS better known it still wouldn't be a big seller. As was pointed out below, priorities have changed of late. Sad but true.

    You have evidently not taken the rather "odd" sense of humour of us Brits into account...
