Nice obit article - shame so much of it is nonsense.
Amar and his infamous BOSE Corporation were responsible for some of the
most egregiously wrong headed audio drivel and absurd loudspeakers ever to
be misconstrued as clever and inventive.
" Sell the sizzle, rather than the sausage" could have been their motto,
right from day one.
Mark Antony said: " The evil that men do lives after them ... "
So thank god most examples of the Bose 901 and its many relatives are
already
dead and buried.
BTW:
L. Ron Hubbard and Amar Bose are alike - both became famous and wealthy
after starting new religions in the USA.

Why do you think that 901 was not a capable product? I don't care for the rest of the plastic junk he produced, AND people actually bought it at astronomical prices...RIP.
