Rrog,

"Richard Cranium"...I think that's a good aka for MF.

fwiw, I have a Bose Wave Radio and think it sounds great. Thank you Amar. RIP.
Rrog, really nice, and thoughtful, post. Mikey's blog had a bit of a shock jock quality to it, not that mine was any more demure.

It has, however, been a long time since the 901 filled the coffers at the Bose Corp. They were an engineering company then and it seems they are more a marketing company now. That role has been assumed by lifestyle components such as the Wave radio and various compact home theatre systems the worth of which may be, arguably, quite a bit less, in sonic terms, than the 901s.
A women I know recently bought a Wave at a garage sale. She LOVES it in her kitchen. She pretends to be Italian, so I brought over some Rossini. She shut it off after ten seconds and said "I ain't listening to no freaking ballet".
My first experience with any Bose product. Nothing wrong with it by me, at all! Although I find it hard to believe their infomercial where Herbie Hancock listens to one at home. HA
***Let's face it. We have all been duped and many of us continue to be duped. It's time to wise up and start thinking for yourself.****

I cannot believe I read this on Audiogon!!! Never thought I'd see the day. Brace yourself for the Blowback.

Thank You

Cheers
I prefer to think of MF as Mr. Ed.
He looks like the front end and acts like the rear.
