That about sums it up , now less assume that Peter walker knew more about building a better speaker than Bose, which one was more successful at it , quad vs Bose...Survey says Bose ....
I We perhaps have to forgive the way the company went about marketing. I am not recommending their products
I had a set of Bose 301's in college back in the 70's. One night with the lights off and Zeppelin cranked I noticed light beating to John's drums through the speakers port. I was amazed. Bose had used a light bulb of some sort to absorb excess energy to save the tweeter.
The light bulb as compressor/fuse is an old trick. I have seen it used by Tannoy in one of their not-so-cheap small PA speakers and JBL, I believe, did too (or was it Fender?). I'm pleased to say I conceived of this before I discovered it in use by various manufacturers and was surprised to see it had already been thought of.
