Interesting comment on Bose Speakers.....

 I’ve heard quite a few audiophile speakers that used expensive drivers in ways that...well, didn’t suit my taste. Quite a few speakers using Focal tweeters made me feel like that guy in the movie Seven Beauties who went to “better  @@%%@!. Say what you want about Bose but a Bose speaker never made me want to leave the room.

from @steve59 

 

I had a pair of 901vI hanging from the ceiling and a realistic receiver driving them and I was set, happy as I could be. My neighbor turned me on to real hifi and I was miserable for 30 years.

I believe Amar Bose has made more people happy with his offerings than all Hi end offerings combined and there is a lot to be said for that.

High end I believe fails at keeping a listener from skipping tracks because it cannot do what Amar Bose has done at the end of the day for audio.

So many have walked from the hobby for this reason unlike Bose listeners and have gone back to good Mid Fi.

Did you think for a moment the BPs just didnt marry well with your electronics...?

Too many times we blame the speakers.

Ishka: They married very well at the dealer's. Not so much at my home. I had the same amp/pre-amp combo as the dealer when I auditioned them.
