The phrase, "no highs, no lows, must be Bose" has whole new meaning!!! |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2058 Registered: Oct-04 | It would be an interesting read, but I don't think a comprehensive bio exists of the man. For the most part, I HATE what the man's company has done to Hi-Fi in America, but the man is VERY successful, and the guy does seem to be somewhat of an eccentric and a modern-day electronics renaissance man. Maybe he can invent a new vacuum to give that Dyson-guy a run for his money? ...Nah, I'd prefer a phased plasma-riffle in the 40W range! |
