When Money Is No Object -- You Buy Bose?

I saw this on the check out line at the supermarket.  The pit living room is the cover shot for this month's Dwell magazine.  There are many things I like about the house, not that I would make the same choices, but it's a nice look.  The integration of the building and the terrain is marvelous.  However, the Bose 901s and how they're positioned with all that glass just made me laugh.  Did a designer do that to them as a joke?

I had the 901’s back in the mid 80s. There were very innovative for the time, although the speakers I have today are much better indeed. While I agree with the idea “ Bose success was very much because of marketing success” in all fairness Omar Bose was a very good engineer. I think he put much of his money into the design of a very progressive automobile suspension system that, I believe, was never used in the commercially available market.
