That said, there was a predecessor to the Bose 901 which

but I do not know it it was ever marketed.


Bose 2701. I have seen and heard a couple of them
that were in private hands, so it's likely there were
some small retail sales volume.

When I worked back at Lafayette radio in Boston in
the early 70's, hordes of MIT EE students would come
come in and buy the legendary FE-103 4" paper-come
speakers, always either 9 or 18 at a time, depending
upon how impoverished they were at the moment. I
knew lots of people at MIT at the time, and they said
there was a period where the engineering woodshop
was VERY busy making 901 clones
