How old is the Bose Acoustimass sound system?
The regular speakers sound fine but I hardly hear anything coming from the subwoofer. The guy I bought it from said this system was close to 20 years old.

When did Bose start making their Bose speakers?
But, my memory can’t remember all the things I’ve ever heard through the years; especially after having gone to CES most every year from 1986 to 2008 and also back when they did summer CES in Chicago. Might do some listening to them for awhile tonight while working on the new Type AA crossovers I’m building.

Amar Bose brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people. And he still is. Bose has gone in other directions fo some time now. For example, a line of smart speakers.

Why did my Bose sound bar stop working?
After only 18 months of use, our BOSE Soundtouch 300 Soundbar literally just stopped working. No warning, it just died. All troubleshooting was unsuccessful. The BOSE call center support were fantastic, even knowing it was 6 months out of warranty, they still took it back at no charge, repaired and returned it within 9 days. Thank you BOSE.
