Choosing the best speakers is very tough. What they should publish is the worst mainstream speakers. ...Bose
Could not agree more! Great comment!
However, I think BOSE has a predatory and bullish reputation of taking any and all threats to their reputation to litigation. Examples? Let us see:
The famous lawsuit against Consumer Reports for their not so positive review in 1970. Consumer Reports won but BOSE took the case all the way to Supreme Court in 1984. Consumer Reports won again.
Lawsuit against Cambridge Soundworks for using the word "life style" in their ads as BOSE claims they own the word in any electronic device advertising. Cambridge Soundworks settled out of court...
Lawsuit against CEDIA (Costume Electronics Design & Installation Association) for using the word "Life style"... CEDIA at this time partially won.
Lawsuits against JBL speakers... Settled.
Lawsuits against Infinity Speakers... Settled.
BOSE has so much $ (you do not see ANY other electronics companies taking out informercial slots all over the place) made from marketing involving questionable ethics and can afford prolonged and vicious court battles, so maybe that is why no one dares to publish any bad things about BOSE...?
