There's been a great deal of talk about the Bose system on The Bottom Line, a bass-players discussion list. The concensus there (& please keep in mind that this is only my interpretation of it) is that they have a slightly discontinuous sound spectrum - a variation of Richard Bridges' observation, perhaps? - and that Bose has good-sounding ideas, but is more of a triumph of promotion over substance. The expense factor is considerable (one complete unit for each performer, isn't it?), so I thought I'd pass this on even 'though I have no direct experience with Bose myself.
