Default My equipment review of the Bose 901

Yeah, I bought my first pair of 901's back around 1982, but I think you should
be carefull about posting stuff about them. They are not highly respected in
most arenas, because they are considered inefficient and over priced. I think
they have a nice sound for certain types of music though. The marketing
strategy is what made them so popular.

I can remember being back in the Disco bars years ago and they used those same
speakers. They really shook the foundations.

I think I bought my first pair back in 1982 (Series 5?). Series 6 were the
same except for that excess padded grilling in the back and used the same
equilizer.

Bose wasn't the first to try to introduce that omnidirectional sound. Remember
the old Magnavox console stereos with the 15" side-firing woofers and the 4x10
midrange /tweeterhorns in the front? I own at least six of them right now and
am still looking for more. It's old technology, but I just love the sound of
those old beasts.
