this video shows the 901's positioned wrong. they were desighned to be against the wall. back in the day they were siad to have cadillac quality in a volkswagon space! i have 4 901 series 2 powered by a mcintosh 600 watt per chanell amp! when i crank up the volume at maybe 400 watts they sound dam good to me! sometimes at a high volume even bad speakers sounds good!!

Two products, Bose and Mcintosh, that had their supporters but never produced great sound.

I love that guys YouTube channel. I don’t know what microphone he uses, but his videos always sound good considering it’s YouTube. 

Nothing wrong with using Bose 901s if that’s what you like. Play the hell out them. I agree with the earlier poster that the owners of these speakers probably enjoy listening to music a lot more than the majority of people on this forum.

I am not surprised to see another discussion for you “equipment snobs” to bash others for enjoying something that brings them happiness. You’re a sad lot that only seem to get enjoyment by ridiculing others and because if what they own. I’m still waiting for some of you to post what you actually own and listen to at home. Although at this point I wouldn’t believe anything you actually list or show. 

I will ask again, as I did in a previous thread, how is saying that you do not like the sound some equipment makes or its style ridiculing the owners? This is an absurd connection to make. I have heard people say they do not like class D or they do not like active speakers. That does not mean they are ridiculing either; it means they DO NOT LIKE THEM. It is not snobbish either. Where that idea comes from is beyond me. We do not all own Borresson 05s and Audionet Heisenbergs, though I wish I did. It just means for me McIntosh , (and Bose), would be at the very end of a long list.
