Some of their early offerings weren't too bad , they, like AR , could take cheap , stamped out, steel drivers and make them sound OK ..(Marantz did that too)Originally Posted by Mr. Widget

THE bose 901 was truly an amazing little power house (in the 70's night Club's)
Yep - the Cellar Door in Georgetown had a pair of the Pro versions and they were pretty amazing.THE bose 901 was truly an amazing little power house (in the 70's night Club's)

Winston's on M ST was another
Was it the Rabbit's Foot on Wisc Ave in Tennley Town? I wanted a set or years, thought they were the standard to compare to

Changing to Legacy Audio and started with a Silver Screen HD for my center between the 250TIs
You can have your cake...there's a pair on Ebay complete
OOoogh - don't want a pair now, even with EQs -You can have your cake...there's a pair on Ebay complete
and I know Opimax has many speakers that he enjoys MUCH better -
but those 901s were the thing back in the day, right?

I have a pair of series 2's here that didn't cost much .. they just got plopped into storage, I have no desire to refoam the 18 drivers, and they would be a step down from the current active system in the house.THE bose 901 was truly an amazing little power house (in the 70's night Club's)
the 901's sound is what got Consumer Reports in trouble.

Nice to know they spent the money somewhere. It sure wasn't in the drivers!
I particularly enjoyed Fremer's comments on the Bose car audio program junk. Though I don't think the JBL System in the Prius is anything to write home about, either.
