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.
ishkabibil

The premium Bose system in my 2010 911 is really mediocre sounding. The only people that think it sounds good don’t know anything about audio. Modern Bose is a joke in audiophile community and no kind of praise can ever change that. There’s also no getting around the laws of physics. Cheap drivers, cheap cabinets, using resonances to make up for lack of deep bass....

This is the equivalent of someone coming onto a wine connoisseur site and claiming “my $4.99 jug of wine quenches one’s thirst as well as your expensive wine.”

And so says the 911 driver.......lol

Since we are on the topic of recreational/ car audio I..........

My Vette I just sold had Bose....didnt matter you couldnt hear it.

My Lexus Sc430 with its Mark Levinson system and CD playing is remarkable.

The car is like sitting in at home..its that quiet . 

What has them all beat is my 04 Carver Yacht with an incredibly cheap Clarion Marine system.  The speakers.....70 dollar Koss Marine are magic I can sit in the Salon and well those speakers disappear and the sound dances in air.

Talking about using the "Room" and resonamces well I guess its the Hull and structure of the boat thats creating some kind of magic its the most easy to listen to and dynamic system I often wish for at home its pure joy.

Contrary to what you might think Bose is not a joke in an audiophile community maybe your community not a true "Sonic Wonderer"

Because thats what we do here we "Listen and Wonder".

Your wine analogy leads me to believe your audio pursuits are in the same field.

More dollars is better.....

Ishka, you're beating a dead horse. But contrary to what you think, Bose is considered a joke in any audiophile community GENERALLY. Enjoy your Bose.
