@oldaudiophile, a parallel universe story.
My sister had a pair of Ohm bookshelf speakers (Cs or Ds) from her first marriage. Her new husband had Bose 901s. I helped install them in the rec room and living room respectively. My brother-in-law didn't care about differences but my sister preferred listening to the Ohms. I did too. but admittedly I'm not a Bose fan, having very briefly owned a pair myself.
Some years later she complained they no longer sounded good. A quick investigation showed the woofer surrounds failed, so I helped get those re-foamed. Now after she has owned them >40 years they still sound good.
Somehow I'm on the mailing list for Ohm and the announcement I received indicated the move from Brooklyn to Bridgeport. It read like full operations there now.
