Thanks for your vote of confidence.


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



** Oh, that is fantastic proof - of absolutely nothing.


And it sounded very good by the PA standards of the day.

Perhaps you'd give your recommendations from the '70s?


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



** There were no such amplifiers.


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


Ah right. A Mullard 3-3 would have been ideal, then, in your little world.

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.


You worked for a company that hired out rubbish? Surely that would be
against your principles?


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



** There was none for them to do.

Thanks for the intuitive response. Again.

Dave. You must be trying to wind Phil up:-)
We all know that compared with JBL and Altec, Bose were mediocre,
with poor reliability.
