Big sound from a small box, with enough connectivity to please nearly everyone. That's what Bose's SoundTouch line of speakers offers, and the flagship of the series is a remarkable unit, indeed.
SoundTouch products have been out for a few of years now; I first experienced them at their introduction in New York back in 2013, and such is their quality and design that they're still on the market today. That's unlike the remarkable SoundDock 10 iPod dock speaker system that was my first "modern" experience with Bose - modern meaning within the last 10 years, since Bose itself has been around for more than a half century.
I remember Bose' SoundDock 10 introductory demo well. The company had set one up behind a Wizard of Oz-like curtain in a private room in a Manhattan restaurant and kicked off the demo with some really great-sounding rumbling thunder. I said then that the demo came "complete with bone rattling realism that sounded as if it were coming from an 'honest to goodness' audio system with big speakers and big amplifier power."
