Hi there
I wonder why you want people to spam Bose to ask for things Bose is not allowed to do.
MB would sue them to hell if they would sell you the original speakers. And I doubt that they would develop a new set for every little creature which writes them an email.

Cheers, Frank

"?"? No really "?????"? What are you talking about? What spam? Bose can build and sell anything they have a patent for. How can MB sue? If MB has exclusive right to the speakers then Bose will pay them royalties.


Bose did build them after I wrote an email. I have 2 of the speakers now and paid $60 each for them. They stock the speaker and I was telling everyone if they want one then ask.
Don't drink and drive....don't drink and write.

Didn't MB dealership provide the speakers?

I could understand it if MB couldn't get hold of the speakers.

I don't know if they can or not. I expected MB would charge twice as much. I always go to the source first.

I'm surprised they didn't turn you away. They're supposed to.

I work for a Tier 1 manufacturer and we don't/won't/can't deal directly with consumers for many different reasons, both for us and the OEM's.

Got what you needed though, so that's good.

Smile Bose Replacement Speakers

I called Patty at Bose yesterday and she returned my call same day.

She confirmed the speakers and part number I needed, told me the price ($60 +tax for the 61/2" each), took my credit card number and address and I will have new speakers next week via San Diego CA warehouse.

Bose stands behind their product and Patty was very friendly and helpful. Other speakers are available too if you need them.

Don't give up--it's easy.
