Speakers: all-time worst

Until this day I thought I was the only one who felt this way about Bose !!! I Remember in college ( UND ) back in 1983 a radio station played there sound system for an outdoor party between the dorms ( In the courtyard ) 4 Bose 901's. I am the only person in the world, besides the others that were at the party, who actually heard Bose 901's that sounded good. I was really DRUNK.

Tubegroover, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and I respect it but I must disagree with you as well. The SRS tl (trilaminate tweeter) was an upgrade from the original series, don't know whether you heard that one or not. The crossover was also changed. I heard both and the original was no doubt bass heavy. The later model was a different speaker altogether. You can't get these obviously and believe me I'm not trying to sell you or anyone else on their merit. I will say that in my system they sound great. Open and airy with excellent midrange and tight bass. I've had 3-5K speaks in the room (aeriels, ML, Vany 3's) and they can't displace the Polks - it will take a bigger investment which I will no doubt make one day. I had a dealer/friend in my room and he was pleasantly surprised, instead of trying to sell me speakers now he working on a CJ ART pre or 16. Good listening.

Pops, you are so lucky to have a "dealer/friend" guide you in your purchases. Let us know if he guides you to the ART or the 16. We can't wait to know.

I too Am amazed how many people think the Bose System is state of the art! I simply explain to them that for less money they can get a pair of NHT Super Ones with a matching NHT powered Sub . This setup is a great introduction to audiophile quality music.

Khrys, try to contain yourself - I'll let you be the first to know.
