- The most notorious case was when Bose Corp. took that radical bunch of under-
- ground reviewers at Consumers Union to court over a less than favorable review
- of the 901. (Yes Mike, I know you don't like 901s, just 10.2s. And not point
- 1s.) Talk about suit happy, have you ever heard of anybody else sueing CU ?!?!
-
- Its the Bose Corp's known track record of letting their lawyers do their talking
- that keeps all Bose products from being reviewed in the audio press. The only
- reviews I can recall of Bose have been in Stereo Review, and of course the editor
- and publisher of SR did not have to worry that the review would be negative ;).
