Bose Unveils First TV, With Magical, Sound-Throwing Speakers Built In

It's too bad that Bose sound systems are terrible for almost every type of music that I like... It's almost like they forgot that there is an entire range of frequencies between the 'highs' and the 'lows.' ( Try the U2 album Zooropa on a Bose system - is Bono even on the record anymore? )

I thought I was the only one that had noticed this until I saw some genius in San Francisco with a bumper sticker that lambasted Bose for this.

Here's to you, Mr. Anti-Bose bumper-sticker-man. Slick marketing and exorbitant pricing haven't hoodwinked everyone.

Yeah, I hear you---They're muddy sounding in general. But the tech is pretty awesome--imagine flat panels with real surround sound. OTOH, the LCD? Who knows. And the case design is awful, considering the price point.

granted - tech is awesome and it's a TV, not a HiFi, so I shouldn't be bitching =)

It's because they basically are just using a loudness EQ, and the rest can be chalked up to clever (and rigid) marketing. For example: try to walk into Best Buy and have them let you A/B test Bose speakers.
