For all you Bose 901 Haters!

you realise those McIntosh owners will eventually track you down……

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.

@laoman  Because this is a very personal hobby. People purchase what sounds good to them. I have no problem if someone doesn’t like a product, but why is there a need to post that you dislike it and say nothing else of value? What’s the point of even posting that comment. If you don’t like the speakers, why not provide some constructive criticism as to why they don’t work for you and why? If you think someone is wasting their money and a different product would be better, then suggest it. 

Everyone knows you don’t like McIntosh products. You’ve made that abundantly clear. Instead of knocking what someone owns, suggest something that you think would be better. That’s what this whole place is supposed to be about. Sharing our experiences. 

So you want to know what is better than McIntosh? Try Audionet Heisenberg, German Physiks Emperor. You like hybrids? Aethetix, Ypsilon. You like tubes? Doshi, Air Tight. Chinese? AM, Opera Consonance.

Speakers? German Phyisks Bordeland, Borresson, Rockport, Aqueo Stilla.
