It's like nothing we've ever done before

[atomicAdam]

I just got this in my inbox - should we be scared, frightened, delighted or apprehensive?

Anyone care to speculate?

[dakatabg]

Maybe Bose is going to show us something amazing they made!!!

[ForeverAutumn]

Maybe they're going to introduce speakers that are actually worth the money!

[GMichael]

Speakers that fit on the head of a pin and sound like giant ugly $200,000 speakers!

Hey now - don't insult giant ugly 200,000 speakers. they have sensitive feelings... why do you think they are so big?

[pixelthis]

How about a wave radio with an ipod dock?
A HTib suckfiesta, excepr with a sucky BLU player?
3D?(brain damage for sure).
DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE!!!

[atomicAdam]

Pix - would that make it an iWave?

I can see that being likely, personally.

They're going to show us:

a) the latest 80 year old patent they've just bought out and tout as their own research.

b) a list of publications they're suing for liable for posting actual measurements of review gear

c) a list of small speaker companies they're mailing cease and desist letters to for using the terms 'folded horn', 'transmittion line' or 'bass module'.

d) a list of audio-related publications they've pulled advertising from because a reviewer gave their product a bad review.

...prolly just a)

GOOD ONE.
No, "iwave", more like a piece of crap. You know the ROMANS (or anyone with a
megaphone) has used the principles behind the wave P.O.S, right?

Because they are horny?

Well it's Tuesday. I'm waiting for Adam to enlighten us.

Didn't you get his PM?

Sounds like the Bose VideoWave:

Essentially an all-in-one TV/HT....

[ForeverAutumn]

Wow. Here's the link to Bose's web site.

$5,349?! Are they serious? I guess Bose didn't get the memo that there's a recession going on.

[TheHills44060]

Omg this is hilarious.

I have a friend who used to work for Bose in the online support department in Boston. Some of the stories he had were classic...

Somebody's screwing with me. There was picture of a dog in my above post. But then when I commented on it, it was gone. I think the zombie-dogs are coming for me.

Naaaa... it's the Bose Zombie-Wave

[budgetaudio76]

good god! Thats probably a 600dollar type screen. .50 cents per woofer and .25 on the mids and tweets combined. Maybe 35 dollar(i know on the high side.) amp...For over five grand they could have at least used a 85 or so inch screen. and Kevlar drivers. and Be tweeters. At least.

It's an even sweeter deal (NOT!) if you live in Canada. Bose.ca shows the price as $6,349. That's $1,000 more than the US price. But based on today's currency exchange, the equivalent of the US price should be $5,683. So where are they getting the extra $665 from???

I guess when you're only going to sell a half dozen of something a year, you have to build in a big profit margin.

That's standard. Canadians are ripped off every day in every way based on exchange rates; (books and magazines are a notorious example: typically 20% above US$). The main rational is volitility: the Canadian $ bobs up & down with the price of oil.

The Bose price for this POS is consistent with the Bose practice of over-priced product. But still you continually hear the average Joe tell you that "Bose is the best sound I've heard" or words to that effect.

Are we honesty talking about Canadians being ripped off by BOSE when the Brits are paying 6000GBP...


6000GBP = 9,473USD

WTF??? Seriously... 9.5K for a Bose TV???

OMG! That's just insanity. I would love to see the pricing proposal for this product. I wonder how many of these they expect to sell?

I bet they end up selling more than any of us would expect. "There's a sucka born every minute."
