**Utter nonsense. The battery of tests which are performed on audio
equipment are remarkable predictors of sonic performance. What is clear,
however, is that measurement capabilities presently exceeds the abilities of
most (all?) human ears.

**The list of problems with Bose products is quite long. Sticking to the
901, for the moment, there are several major shortcomings:

* ALL rooms are different. There is no point in designing for the "Average"
room, since none exists. It behooves all speaker manufacturers to design for
anechoic environments, since that is the only real reference.
* The Bose 901 uses 9, small drivers, which leads to several problems,
including poor HF dispersion and poor imaging.

**Make no mistake: Bose is run by Amar Bose. Bose Corp is a private company,
not a public one.
