Bose in general: While some might respect their long-term success, as an avid fan of music and it's proper reproduction it is impossible for me to respect their products and sleazy sales tactics.

Bose Bashers Read This !
Listed below is actual ad copy from a Bose advertisment found in a magazine. Get your barf bag out and read what this company who calls themselves " the most respected name in sound" is saying. Your comments as to truth in advertising are invited. HAVE AT IT GUYS. BETTER SOUND THROUGH RESEARCH Whats in a name? A name is much more than a word, because behind every name is a message. Edison. Curie. Monet. Gershwin. At Bose, we've worked almost 40 years to earn a legacy of pride, commitment to research and passion for excellence. To invent breakthrough technologies that turn yesterday's fiction into today's reality. And to become the most respected name in sound. In one sense a name is merly a name. But everything it stands for is what matters. REPUTATION !
