Post Subject: Amar Bose was not stupidPosted by rowuk on: 8/3/2014

I personally think that the legacy of Amar Bose was discovering how many "needs big box" factors could be left out and still have the products perceived at "of high quality". Bose is very popular with musicians, for all of the sonic shortcomings it still lets the information that they are looking for through. Perhaps only their logo should be modified: "Good enough music through research" seems to represent more of the truth.

Romy, I think in your case playback with MiniMe leaves you with the idea still in the back of your mind - I am not using Macondo. That is in the way of listening. When you listen to the Bose dock, this most likely does not occur. New UseCase, different parameters, no ballast in the back of your mind. Ability to focus on other things.

21st century convenience is addictive however - not only in the playback world.............. The reduction of data allows playback to be in the background if desirable. Does the respect for the composers, musicians, conductors intentions change outdoors? Does audio become a commodity? The answer "depends" is certainly easier to apply from the deck or pool than in the listening room.
