Hi Jim (and others),
My dislike for the sound of Bose has nothing to do with a magazine article or
any lawsuit or anyone else's opinion, or the company's reputation.
It's based on the fact that I've listened to them and really do NOT like the
way they sound. The sound is colored far too much for my taste. No speaker,
IMHO, should be coloring the sound that much.
(as an aside, I'm not sure why Jim's email shows it was also sent to
ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, but it should only be sent to klaatumail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
Regards.
Dave Bradley

There was a time when Bose was considered God-like within audiophile circles.
And then in 1971 Consumers Report issued a product review in which it stated
that the sound from the speakers seemed to wander around the room. Bose took
offense, and sued for libel.
The review hurt their reputation, but the lawsuit stained it even more -
especially when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that CR's expression of opinion
was entitled to First Amendment protection.
Bose's expensive reputation has not been the same since.
