Their sales model is not designed nor intended for audio savvy like
you. It's actually logical that you were turned off by that place.
Bose is a successful and profitable company so their agressive
approach seems to be working for them.
Well I'd say they have succeeded through massive advertising and all
that direct marketing they do.
When's the last time you saw a stereo gear ad in a magazineon or
TV...that stuff is more or less commodity stuff now.
Bose's problem will be once they saturate the market of yuppie twerps
that actually think they are buying something special they will be
unable to sustain the advertising and the storefront that's working so
well for them now.
Mark my words, the same thing will happen to Harley Davidson, they are
selling to a similiar crowd these days....in fact across the shopping
place from the Bose store was a Harley dealer...well two. One sold
bikes, the other one sold clothes.
The clothes store was as large as the bike store.

p.s. My old boss bought a Audi A4 a few years back, total Piece of
crap it broke all the time.
he paid extra for the package with the "Bose Stereo". He traded the
car in (one thing it did was it kept puking out oil) and bought a
Honda Accord with the stock stereo.
he told me he likes the Honda stereo better than the one in the Audi
