Default My equipment review of the Bose 901

God, what a lot of blather. Are you sure you aren't an employee?
You sure sound like one.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE specs are not ever offered by Bose because one of the
founding principles was that they offer little or no value to the
audiophile! Bose simply observed that great specs certainly did not always
coincide with equally great performance.


Like their Acoustimass system which has a +/- 12 db efficienty and a complete
hole from around 180-200hz? Or their noise cancelling headphones that work
about as well as a simple pair of earplugs(and mangle the sound just as much)

The EQ is silent with no perceived extraneous noise. The only noise that
will be revealed is amplifier hiss or such sound in an analog mastered
recording. Some digital recordings even have modulation noise and you will
recognize such flawed CD's immediately!


Q: why do studio monitors, elctrostatics, and even movie theatres all not
use any EQ? Perhaps because the speaker is accurate enough to not need
artificial mangling of the sound to be listenable?

(snip 3 pages of shill blather)

I did compare my Bose to these
speakers! While I did so, the high end salesman tried to tell me what was
wrong with them [like most of us audiophiles he was very opinionated]! I
simply smiled as my 901's outperformed these great speakers on every single
CD used for this audition!


I know people who think that their squidded-out Civic street racer is
better than a Porsche 911. Lol.

I can't believe someone actually spent two hours typing that crud in
to post it.
