The biggest issue I have with Bose is that they continue to push "Better sound through research" but they haven't researched sound since the introduction of the 601 Series II in 1984. This in my opinion was the last decent-sounding speaker that Bose made.
Whatever research Bose is conducting today certainly has nothing to do with sound. I'm sure though they research material and labor productivity. Prices have been climbing and materials and workmanship are cheaper than ever. They still continue to use paper (untreated) drivers and foam surrounds. And the same 4", $2 speakers that were used in TVs from the 60s are still used as tweeters in their speakers. And they still don't publish specs on their speakers because their frequency response curves would make people nauseous I'm sure. They really ought to be ashamed of themselves!!!
I honestly don't understand how anyone can get up in the morning and go to work for their speaker division.
