very cool technology and an uncanny similarity to the L1

what a rip off from Bose....

glad I bought the REAL DEAL!

It may not be a rip-off from Bose, note that the intention is just the opposite of what we use and love.

While we love the Bose towers ability to project sound evenly and wide, giving the same great sound to everyone in a room or outside, the MS link above aims to limit sound to a small area.

It seems like it has very little to do with our Bose forum, except for looking somewhat like an L1 on its side.

I find it interesting that they refer to this as a "Personal Audio Space," or PAS. Coincidence???

Remember..

Competion is good..

It keeps the suppliers of products in check with pricing, quality, performance.
