Sheesh. "Lush, room filling sound" is not a lie. It's advertising hype.
You talk as though you've never heard advertising hype before. So Bose
uses it to market a class of product (table radio, in this case) that
most other manufacturers don't. So what?

Because it's a lie. Isn't it to everyone's advantage to point dishonesty,
whether it's in government or advertising?


So you have a $50,000 stereo, and your mission is to make sure that the
"sonically illiterate" among us don't make the dreadfully stupid mistake
of buying an expensive table radio. No irony there, I'm sure.

I have no objection to people buyng an expensive table radio. I object to
them buying an expensive table radio that's of much lower quality than they
could have gotten by buying a modest component system for the same price.


Not everyone needs an $11,000 pair of speakers to enjoy music, and to
bring them up in a discussion about the Wave and then refer to yourself
as a "non-loony" audiophile is absurd.

No, it's not. Some speakers are worth $11,000. Why don't you listen to the
current QUADs and decide for yourselft?


Why do I get the feeling that you most likely have one of those $1100
gizmos to "burn in" your $3500 speaker wires before using them on
your non-loony system?

My "non-loony" system is Apogee Divas and Parasond SA-21 amps. Care to tell
me what your "sensible" system is?


Finally, as far as people being entitled to their position without being
able to justify it, they most certainly are.

If you can't justify your position, then you're merely spewing. Harlan
Ellison agrees.
