See the speakers Bose uses in their Critical Listening Room

@millercarbon, thanks I must be blind.  Would be interesting to know what drivers they chose.

LOL at the people here who just assume that they know more than the experts that Bose employs. Bose knows exactly what they are doing and the market they are targeting. This article would seem to confirm this.

Bose has actual audio engineers, unlike a lot of these garage companies ...

That's probably true, but doesn't explain why Bose products tend to sound so awful. You know the old saw: "No highs, no lows, must be Bose."
