At one time, many years ago, Bose did actually lead the world in terms of
good quality PA gear.

You'd see it in the best nightclubs, etc.

But it
relied on using the matching amps which were equalised to the speakers.

Bose sold outboard equalisers to go with their **** boxes - from the first 901s onwards - that could be used with any power amp.

Bose brand amplifiers were rebadged products from other companies cos Bose really never made anything themselves.

Back in the 80s, I did a lot of service work for a hire business that dealt mainly in Bose equipment - like 802s, 802Es plus the horrible 1800 amp series, the PM2 powered mixer and others. The failure rate was high.


But not cheap. Of course since then others have caught up.


** There was none for them to do.
