I’ve been wondering—does anyone know if Bose has any plans to release a Wave V? The Wave series was such a solid speaker, especially for a compact, bookshelf-style setup. It had great sound quality, and I really miss having something like it in their current lineup.
Has there been any news or rumors about a new version? Or has Bose completely moved on from the Wave series?

discontinuation of some Wave products
Products get discontinued all the time making way for newer and better ones. It's more shocking that the Acoustic Wave lasted 33 years tbh. We may see something similar in the future but it certainly won't have a CD player. Wave Guide technology is used in most Bose products and the SoundTouch 20 is pretty much identical internally to the Wave Music System, just upright instead of flat. Bose use similar technologies in nearly all of there products so don't be bummed that they've discontinued the Acoustic Wave because there is products that use its technology and sound as good if not better. Another interesting one is that the Bass unit from the VideoWave is used in the car audio systems to make a compact subwoofer.
