Bose 901 Review Well Done.

There was a kid in college that had a pair hanging in the corners up near the ceiling.  Phase Linear amp.  I was totally jealous. It definitely cranked.

I had a JVC integrated amp, BSR turntable, and Altec Lansing speakers.  Really not too bad for a college kid with no money. 

I found after 40 years of Hi End I have just relaxed into enjoying the music again with a pair I picked up for $300.00 dollars.

I have found the reviewers thoughts to be right on.

That's what I love about the hobby.

Enjoying the fact they play anything you throw at them.

A good front end delivery and they will.surprise you.

Add a good room and your good to go.

 

 

 

 

Interesting. I have owned every series except 3 and 5. I still own 4 pair. Series 2 were always my favorites but series 6 is fine too. Still have a  pair of them, 2 pair of 2's and a pair of 1's. All are still functional. Not everyone's cup of tea and hated by many but they still can make you smile in the proper setting. Loud rock music is probably best. I haven't used any of mine in years but doesn't mean I never will.

My son read somewhere that they are bringing them back. Not sure if it's true but I think they would be a hard sell as the negativity has been pushed so hard for so long. It's funny though how many real audiophiles admit to enjoying listening to them back in the good ol days. Always makes me smile. 

I liked the fact the reviewer played them for other philosophy and they were impressed.

If anybody owns them...fire them up again.

It's the spirit of our hobby...it's always evolving.

 

Experiment you might be surprised.
