So...What did Santa Bring you?

Somehow, Santa managed to stuff a Bose Wave Syatem into Bea's Christmas
stocking this year.

Those things *are* amazing. They look waaaay too small to produce such
huge sound -- but produce it they do. Are they still so stinkin'
expensive, or have they come down some in price?

I believe it was 500 dollars plus tax total. What impressed me was that I
ordered it on Monday afternoon at about 3PM and it was delivered the next
morning at 10AM. I hadn't specified next day shipping. They just sent it out
that way. They seem to be a first rate outfit through and through. Really
enjoyed dealing with them and the set is as you say, unbelievable sound for
a unit that size. I've had full system stereos that were not nearly this
well made and had this quality.



She loves it! She's had it on constantly for the past two days. She's
been
into Celtic music ever since Michael Flatly blew her a kiss from the
stage
one night when we were attending "Lord of the Dance" :-)

Ever since the cast of River Dance stayed with us at the inn (man, are
those folks ever in shape!), Mary and I have enjoyed that style of
music, too. I can't take it as a steady diet, but on occasion it's
great!

I swear I can't figure out how anyone can make their feet move that fast.
The precision is unbelievable. Sort of reminds me of the Marine Rifle Drill
Team. It's some of the most impressive stuff I've ever seen done on stage.
You couple this with the sheer beauty of the Celtic music and it's a winner.
Hope you, Mary and the gang had a great Christmas.
Let's hope the new year finds some reason in the world.

Hi Dudley,

Back in 1976, while I was assigned to Korea, I purchased a pair of the Bose
501-II speakers. They are still hooked up to my secondary music system,
putting out terrific sounds just like they did back then. Never a hiccup
with them. Bose does build stuff well!!!!!

I do not care for them as a part of a home theater surround system (tried,
got something else) but for just listening to music, they cannot be beat.

Glad to know Bose continues with their great equipment line.

Happy New Year,
Paul

All the best for the New Year,

Dudley Henriques

I still have a couple pairs of 301's from the early 80's. They still
work fine but I believe the foam around the woofers has seen better
days. I have the Bose Aviation X headset and it is the best I have tried
(better befor the price).

I also wouldn't buy Bose for my home speakers. I have a preference of
Paradigm speakers for that. The Paridigm Reference series speakers
totally rock!!
