From 1995-1998, Bose produced a sourceless surround sound system called the Bose Companion surround-sound system. It was designed to be used with a Direct Satellite System (DSS) or Primestar satellite TV receiver. This system marked a dramatic change from Bose's previous Lifestyle systems in that it was sourceless, had no expansion possibilities, and was Bose's first system to include video inputs. It featured "Built Invisible" speakers. The system won Popular Science's 1996 Best of What's New.

Famous quotes containing the words companion, surround and/or sound:

    I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments to the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A village seems thus, where its able-bodied men are all plowing the ocean together, as a common field. In North Truro the women and girls may sit at their doors, and see where their husbands and brothers are harvesting their mackerel fifteen or twenty miles off, on the sea, with hundreds of white harvest wagons, just as in the country the farmers’ wives sometimes see their husbands working in a distant hillside field. But the sound of no dinner-horn can reach the fisher’s ear.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
