In Reply to: BOSE is a status brand??? to whom? K-Mart shoppers??? nt posted by Elizabeth on May 7, 2007 at 09:51:03:
Seriously, Joe and Mrs. 6-Pack - who make up the vast majority of the population - consider Bose to be one of the creame-del-a-creame of ausio. About the only other brand that offers more cache is Macintosh (but most consider them insanely overprices and devoted to an obsolete technology so don;t lust after them as they once might have).As for the affluent consumer (of the non-audiophile variety), listening to music is well down on the list of priorities when it comes to discrectionary income. The high-end's low profile doesn't help, fopr sure, but even if it WAS better known it still wouldn't be a big seller. As was pointed out below, priorities have changed of late. Sad but true.
