Bose has done some really interesting and innovative work so they deserve some credit there. But sadly their sound quality is still below what you'd find in any real audio store (except their own hee hee!).

True, but most other electronic companies also have just as many innovations and inventions under their belts. However, you do not hear them taking matters into such vindictive and unethical levels? What about Dr. D'Apolito or Bob Carver? Inventions and innovations in the audio world is not exclusive to BOSE, and BOSE did not get that many new technologies out anyway, AND they are mostly in the past... Some of the technologies being marketed are just re-makes of old ideas, such as a long folding bass tuning ports used in their radios. Guess what? That is just a transmission line loading design, now made with plastic, which was already in existence and was used by all sorts of loudspeaker manufacturers way before Dr. Bose even attended MIT and started making speakers in the 1970's...

Only BOSE is practicing in deceptive and trickery advertisements to fool the general public who are not familiar with the technology, AND only BOSE is using its litigation power for intimidation and threatening purposes. Taking 14 years to challenge an article Consumer Reports printed in 1970 from small courts all the way to the Supreme court in 1984 is obviously not for monetary compensation but to threaten and set an example to other electronics manufacturers. Most other manufacturers being taken to court by BOSE just settle out of court now days to avoid the never ending high legal cost as BOSE is known in the industry to be tenacious and vicious, and have the $ to pursue. Now BOSE is even targeting CEDIA!

BOSE, very few and small inventions in the past, but tons of unethical practices today... Do some research and read about it....

Your points are certainly true. Maybe it's that their products are of innovative design. They seem to have built the first compact stereo loaded with transmission-line. Their compact pc speakers, with their slot-firing dual passive radiators is pretty neat, and really kicks for tiny speakers (although it's still not as good as my Aego system). They also have an electric active suspension design for cars, although it's too heavy and complex to use.

That's all I'm saying. They've got... uh... neat stuff.
