Sunday's Globe column: Trying to Best Bose
Here's the opening:
Only a few weeks after launching his first product, Steve Krampf realized his tiny Newton company had shown up as a blip on the radar screens of two of the biggest players in home audio: Bose Corp. and Boston Acoustics.
Two orders trickled in, one each from the two rivals, for the $499 iPod-compatible music system that Krampf's company, Chestnut Hill Sound Inc., launched last year.
Krampf wasn't surprised that other audio companies were doing some intelligence-gathering; he'd been doing the same with their products, analyzing their acoustical qualities, ease of use, and electronic innards.
And here's the video, with Chestnut Hill CEO Steve Krampf demoing his system:

I think Boston Acoustics has completely missed the boat in this iPod sound system category. Chestnut Hill should do just fine here creating some disruption to Bose.
