Yes i asked them why than does every other speaker company in the world list their fre respones than.

They never got back with me :confused:
...Hmmm maybe respond back with somethig like this:

Bose's Response: Thank you for your inquiry. Bose Corporation does not publish frequency responses, simply because they are not accurate and usually will mislead the customer.
Frequency responses are usually measured with testing equipment set up in an anechoic chamber.


I think you have your logic backwards. Measuring in an anechoic chamber is the best way to measure the response accurately so you "aren't" misleading your customers. By knowing what kind of response the speaker has, give's the consumer a good starting point. Not dosclosing this information is much more misleading.

Bose's Response: Giving out such frequency response results is terrific- for those people who live in anechoic chambers! Most of us listen to our systems in rooms with very reflective surfaces, such as plaster, brick, glass, and dry wall, so the frequency response that a manufacturer may supply is no longer accurate. Just as no two rooms have the same dimensions, nor are they decorated exactly the same or have the same construction, no two rooms will sound the same when using the exact same speakers and amplifier.

Uh...well, you see, there are these things called room treatments to compensate for any room design. It is possible to get a very flat response in just about any room. But a speaker that does not have a flat response in a perfect environment, will never sound very good in the average room no matter how much we compensate for that by treating the room. This is why by not publishing these numbers, you are doing a great disservice to your customers, and personally, I don't think you're being very forthtelling or honest either. :D

Not all publish.....

Meadowlark Audio also never published the responses..... but Pat Mc Ginty (of Meadowlark audio) had very good explanations for that, and those are very good speakers anyways.....

NICE, I should have done something like that, but they already know that, don't they? ;)

Everytime I see this, I'm blown away by peope's ignorance. I mean, just look at the enclosure and you can tell just how cheap they are. Check out the cheap push pin connector's. Now that's high-end! :D
