The odds are good that someone you know has purchased a Bose Wave radio or music system for a loved one. The odds are much better that you’ve seen the commercials or magazine ads sometime over the past 25 years or so, rolled your eyes at how over-the-top the language was, and continued living your tinny-speaker life. But what if we were missing out on something good? Today, we ponder the Bose Wave, the infomercial’s favorite speaker—a speaker, that, as it turns out, was a Christmas gift of sorts.

This is an interesting article if only for the fact that every audio engineer I’ve ever known (and I’ve known quite a few), hate the way Bose devices sound. They would often say, “No highs, no lows, must be Bose”.
