I heard a stat. the other day from a friend that is a true professional. Bose has 13 people in the marketing department and 2 people in R&D. B&W has 15 people in R&D and 2 people in Marketing.

Don't know how true it is. But from what I have seen from these two companies in products, i can believe it.
