No highs, no lows, must be Bo$e!!!!
I have listened to a number of Bo$e speaker systems over the years (not by my choice ether) several of the places have been churches. Bo$e has this marketing gimmick, Bo$e will install a speaker system for free and after 30 days if you don't like them Bo$e will take them out and you don't have to pay for them. Not many Churches will say take them out!
I do sound for Catholic Youth Evangelist when we go into a Church we never use the house system, they are never good enough. This really surprises the Churches that have just gotten one of those Bo$e systems. But after I setup our system and just blow the Bo$e system away they seem to understand that they were taken!:barf:
Do you have any more stories like this one?

He did anything to please his superiors -oops let me clarify that ..his bosses -..(most everybody was superior to him)
Anyway, he scored points by throwing the office Xmas party at his house every year..in our last year, he felt insecure and decided to "do it right" ..remodeled his basement, bought a new refrigerator for the room and bought his super BOSE system.
Just days before the party his wife spotted a mouse running around the room ..OH NO !!! can't have his bosses seeing that, so he tried everything to catch it , except ...shooting it...bright idea !!:hmm: goes and gets his 22 rifle and corners the rodent behind the fridge and takes a shot. hits compressor instead. No more handy cold drinks.
THREAD TIE IN : so he also installs his super ($1,600) Bose system ..a cube in every corner , hanging from the ceiling.
I get to the party and the tunes are already blaring , but I notice that the HF is even worse than expected, so I ask Tony for a chair and get up to inspect them ... yup , you guessed it ..they were backwards, aimed straight into the wall .. I turn them around towards the room and it does sound better ..other guests applaud..get dirty looks from Tony.
FOLLOWUP: A week later we (including Tony) are sitting around work at break discussing TV . told the story that I was watching a game show and the question put to the contestant was "what is the 24th letter of the alphabet" ??? the contestant starts counting a=1,b=2,c=3 etc and the audience starts laughing, the guy gets it and then goes Oh, OK ...z=26,y=25 etc...
Tony is listening and jumps up and loudly proclaims "TRICK QUESTION" !!!!! ...I dont understand and ask him why ??
reply .. " cause there are only 23 letters in the alphabet"
we sit there stunned ...and then break out laughing ...dirty looks from Tony (again).
Guess who was first to get laid off when the reductions came ??
:applaud::applaud::applaud::applaud: Yes this ROL . John:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Forgot...Bose has an installation in one of Toronto's top venues.
The ACC (Air Canada Center) home of the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs uses a Bose house system. This is a truely state of the art facility that has been featured on the Learning Channel. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment are one of the richest sports empires in the world.
Bose® Panaray® LT system http://pro.bose.com/ProController?ur...y_lt/index.jsp
Bose provides the installation for the complete venue, every bar, hallway, practice facility, nook and cranny.
The system works fine and completely cuts the gig.
GM Place in Vancouver also uses a Bose system.
