If I were Bose, I would spend all that development money on designing, constructing and configuring a moveable-surfaced auto interior as a test lab. Only in that environment can one listen in real time, make adjustments to placement, panels, shape, volume, drivers, etc. I see no connection between the "studio" they set up and a car/truck/SUV/RV/bus interior. Also, their logic for using Genelecs makes absolutely no sense.
No wonder they have never been accepted by this community as a serious player. I mean, I’m from Boston and I’ve heard music performed in Symphony Hall many times, but there is no way that place translates to my home let alone my car. And the drive from there to Framingham? Apples and oranges. It’s just silly.
