Bose was founded more than 50 years ago—in 1964, to be exact—by Amar G. Bose. He was a young man who was obsessed with electronic goods and loved to take them apart, repair them, and discover how they worked. He often dreamed of one day inventing his own line of electronic goods.
Amar studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, and after graduating from university, he decided to reward himself by buying a sound device. He chose a product that had the best sound specifications and the latest technology. But to his surprise, when testing them out, he found the sound quality to be very disappointing.
It was this experience, according to Amar himself, that led him to contemplate how a device with the best specifications on the market could produce a poor quality of sound. He decided to carry out a number of investigations and tests that ended up leading him to the design and manufacture of his first loudspeakers. From this point on, Amar dedicated his personal and professional life to what we now know today as Bose. » learn more
