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.

At MIT, I had the good fortune for seven years to teach network theory, which is basic to many disciplines, to one-third of the undergraduate student body. It was an experiment to see how high we could bring their level of understanding, and it exceeded all of my expectations.
Amar Bose
But today the quickest way to save your bottom line is to cut off research.
Amar Bose
No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move. Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward.
Amar Bose
We learned the value of research in World War II.
Amar Bose
One hundred percent of our earnings are reinvested in the company, and a great deal of that goes to research.
Amar Bose
At 13, I realized that I could fix anything electronic. It was amazing, I could just do it. I started a business repairing radios. It grew to be one of the largest in Philadelphia.
Amar Bose
I really wanted to do research. That has never changed.
Amar Bose
We did experiments with the Boston Symphony for many years where we measured the angles of incidence of sound arriving at the ears of the audience, then took the measurements back to MIT and analyzed them.
