Just to mention: Teufel has been even moving further with their fully open hardware design of MYND [0]. Hope others will follow.
Ironically this makes me want to buy this discontinued model, not anything currently supported by Bose.
Agree. This is huge. Definitely makes me want to buy more Bose products for my house.
I’m a restaurant owner. Starting February I’m gonna spit in your food before serving it.
> Uhhh I’m gonna tell all my friends to stop eating there
I have decided to not spit in your food after all. Praise me.
Bose hardware quality is rather low and, and their sound quality is sub-par, while forcing you to pay the Bose brand tax, riding the corpse of Amar around for profit.
I'd avoid, even if they happened to do this.
Exactly this.
"Bose blows" is a popular comment amongst the audiophile community but, to me, it seems like they don't blow at all[0]. In fact quite the opposite: this is a fantastic example for other companies to follow. Top marks, Bose!
[0] What is actually true is that they are opinionated about sound reproduction in ways that a bunch of people don't agree with but which in the right context are often effective and enjoyable to listen to.
