BOSE speakers
Not strictly true, Dolby B, C and HX Pro are examples of Noise Reduction techniques.
Dolby Pro-Logic on the other hand, is actually a matrixed analogue 4.1 surround sound system. (Front Left, Front Right, Centre, Mono-surround, LFE)
The program material was "encoded" into any analogue Stereo source, eg. VHS video cassette, laserdisc , even NICAM stereo TV broadcasts.
It has the advantage of sounding 'normal' in stereo, and if one later upgraded to a matrix decoder, or a receiver with one built in, you could enjoy surround sound.
The system was originally known as 'Dolby Surround', but this had limited front-to-back seperation. Later, 'the pro-logic' part was introduced, with steering logic which improved the channel seperation.
It was eventually superceeded by Dolby Digital (sometimes known as AC-3), the system still in use today.

There were a handful of normal audio CD's produced using the Dolby Surround system
this is one of them : http://www.wendycarlos.com/+sob2k.html
I'm assuming this is why Volvo included it on their ICE installs.
The Dolby Surround CD's obviously were a flop, though.

Bose is personally for me abit plastically for home systems. i much prefere Bowers and Wilkins and Denon...i find alot of the Bose stuff to overpriced....tbh...but it depends on what you really want to play on the system tbh Bose would probably be better for bass over the B & W's but they give a much better natural sound repoduction...which i personally prefere thats what my Yamaha subs for lol with the rest of the technics stuff i have for home.
Not so well known, but surpassing almost everything on the market including the likes of B&W, is ATC :

They are extraordinarily expensive but incredible nonetheless.
If only they made speaker kits for cars, they would be quite amazing.

im not a fanof bose if im honest. went to the bose shop in portsmouth and for the money i think theyre severely over rated. much happier with my mas teac seperates and monitor audio set up.
another person whos not a fan of Bose lol i should smile
I agree totally....The suspect the Acoustimass system is the one that most people will be familar with....
I must admit, I liked the idea of a concealed system that didn't encrouch on the lounge too much, but having heard it turned up loud it was bloody awful....
Very muddy sound (not surprising when you see what they 'do' to the music in terms of processing) and very expensive....
Went for the Arcam / KEF set-up in the end....
