Bose 901 Review Well Done.

And the soap opera is the first thing I adjust on my new tv's.

Smoothing Motion plus Video....OFF!

We used a pair for the PA for a short time.

In hindsight the state of the solid state power to drive them with any authority in 1970 had their own growing pains. 
It might be interesting to hear them driven by todays refined solid state or hybrid amplification.


 


 

 

 

I have had a pair since 1987. it is tempting to hook them back up for the fun of it

but i cannot figure out how to hook up the active equilizer without a tape 2

input. It used to be run through a old Onkyo reciever which i still have too.

but now i am using a parasound amp and preamp. 

 

M-'da

You hit it!

 

 

 

I remember an old buddy of mine using a pair in his band. I think they were used with the horn mikes. I think 802's were more often used that way, since they had 8 drivers, all front side. My wife and I sold T shirts at the Chicago fest in 1980 and they had a stage full of them. It was a big Bose push at the time, some ridiculous number of the Bose amps (1801's I think) and pairs of 802's. 32 pairs or so, might have even been double that. It was a helluva lot of speakers. Can't remember. It was kind of impressive but it did lack bass, compared to the other stages that used normal PA stacks and such. Still, it was kind of fun to see and hear.
