the trolls will soon have a field day with their 'done' comments, but before that i'll ask: five landscapes and no bass clef? these are fantastic speakers with quite a bit of acoustic range. this execution just makes me want to turn to the next page of the magazine. frankly, it's boring and doesn't illustrate the benefit.

looks nice, but i'm not really sure about the message. it feels a little like 'sound of summer'.
what's the connection between the five landscapes? could somebody translate the copy, please?

The five landscapes are probably stages of the "journey".

If this is supposed to be a visual play on musical notation, why are there things that resemble waveforms on a staff where notes would appear?

Confusing

Choose car equiped with BOSE speaker, you would enjoy more than trip

maybe it's just me, but the idea is either too basic or too difficult to be understood at first

Roger Daly's picture 361 pencils

Very familiar idea.

Um, one key factor missing... San Francisco, anyone? At least get that right.

The top one is Shanghai. The bottom one is Beijing. But I still don't get the connection.
