Default Why Bose?

I don't know. The bbc used to use them in the old Television theatre all
those years ago. Now they were not bad, but they were kind of spacy as they
had speakers on the back as well as the front.
The acronym somebody reminded me of in another group is.
Buy Other Soud Equipment.
They have been far worse since the guy who founded the company died and the
name was sold off.

Down in Cornwall last week, my other half dragged me along to the
Minack Theatre to see a performance of La Traviata. As it's open air
and has quite a large and very steep auditorium, there's some sound
reinforcement both for singers and for the mini-orchestra, which used
Bose speakers. My word, they're ****poor. Horrible boxy sound. Don't
know why they didn't go for higher quality sound and lower cost and
use Behringer instead. Just reinforced my feeling about Bose, having
heard the PA things that look like black stoves in use at a couple of
gigs. Are they perceived to be good because they're expensive?
