Deaths: Bose

AMAR BOSE, 83

Died July 12th.  Acoustic pioneer who founded Bose Corporation where you get great sound from a little package and spend a lot for it though.  Also, quite big in the noise cancellation headphones for frequent fliers.

Founded the company in 1964 and based in Framingham, Massachusetts, outside of Boston.

Joined the faculty of MIT in 1956 and retired in 2001.  Gave MIT the majority of his stock in Bose.

The amount of sound you can get from one of his items is really amazing.  I have a pair of Bose speakers.

Impressive.
