Similar story here, I never believe that any company is best at anything let alone Bose. My first Bose product was a Bose Wave Radio and - when I got it - I found the sound amazing though radio performance was very poor, I believe this has changed in the latest generation of Wave Radio.
Anyhow it didn’t take me long - as I read more and more audiophile reviews on different products - to question just how good Bose sounded, surely if it was any good then Audiophiles would be raving about the stuff but the silence was deafening. As list members will know, one of my interests is Audio Streaming and it has been stated by many people at various times that one of the best streaming clients for AirPlay is the B&W range which includes the A5, A7, Z2 and so on, if such products were so highly regarded then it seemed sensible to me to plan and get one which I did, I bought the A5 19 months ago and compared to the Bose Wave Radio? Well quite frankly the B&W A5 just makes the Bose sound as though its at the bottom of a hole literally, the Wave System sounds absolutely dull and boring and I think I’m very much able to appreciate the following quotation, “No Highs just Lows, that sounds like Bose” <smile>, a little exaggerated perhaps because the highs are there but they’re swamped by the loose base. > On 5 Oct 2015, at 7:20 AM, Hamit Campos <hamitcam...@gmail.com> wrote: > > What's also perhaps getting him stuck and it did me too is all the better > sound threw research stuff and the most respected name in sound stuff.
