"I loved music, and in my ninth year at MIT, I decided to buy a hi-fi set. I figured that all I needed to do was look at the specifications. So I bought what looked like the best one, turned it on, and turned it off in five minutes, the sound was so poor"

About this Quote

Amar Bose was a passionate lover of music and during his ninth year at MIT, he decided to buy a hi-fi set. He thought that all he needed to do was take a look at the specifications and buy the best one. Nevertheless, when he turned it on, he was disappointed with the sound quality and turned it off after only 5 minutes. This experience led him to believe that requirements alone were not enough to determine the quality of an item. He was determined to find a method to make a hi-fi set that might produce a sound that was true to the initial recording. This experience was the foundation of his journey to create the Bose Corporation.
