Amar Bose To Donate Company To M.I.T.

Posted by timothy on from the holy-moley dept.

MBC1977 writes with this eyebrow-raising news from CNN: "'The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced Friday that [Amar] Bose, the 81-year-old founder of the sound system company that bears his name, has donated the majority of Bose Corp.'s stock to the school.' Very cool indeed!"

    Maybe they'll be able to get BOSE to make equipment that is testable for reviews and has some midrange.

    I also wish MIT could open-source the designs and IPs of Bose for
    the greater good of the audio world.

    Among self-contained radios as small as a Wave music system, can you recommend one with better lows?

    Just tune to pretty much any Country / Western channel. That'll bring you down.

    The problem with Bose radios is they need green ink on them to improve the sound quality.

  5. Can't RTFA by Paradise+Pete · · Score: 3, Funny

    I see that slashdot has added a new feature of simply omitting any link, presumably for the e-z convenience of not RTFA.

    It's more expensive because it uses SI, which makes it sound better than Monoprice's imperial cable.
