It all began because he wanted music in the background when he was writing his doctoral thesis. The way Amar Gopal Bose recounted the story, he went out and bought the best garden-variety speakers, but the sound and timbre it produced just didn't cut it. He was also a young violinist by then, and to his keen ears, the sublime Stradivarius was a tinny and incomplete experience coming through uni-directional speakers. And so, he told this correspondent in a 1999 interview, began his quest into physical acoustics and psychoacoustics.
By the time he fell silent this week at 83 some half century later, Bose had established a rich and expansive reputation as a pioneer in acoustics, his privately held Bose Inc, with its eponymous speakers and audio accessories, racking up more $ 2 billion in sales. From the Sistine Chapel to many stadiums across the world, Bose systems became synonymous with pristine acoustic quality, riding on his early promise to produce "Better Sound Through Research," the company's slogan.
