Bose no longer sells the 901s in the US. I would  not be surprised to see the other two passive speakers, 201 and the other one go away soon.

There were a rumor years ago about a new generation 901, there were sketches of it, looked very contemporary and it would be powered by an internal amp. With advances in DSP I could see a "decent" sounding next gen 901 debuting

One more thing, I knew a Bose engineer. He and a lot of his co workers are audiophiles. When one's "job" is to design Bluetooth speaker or an OEM car audio with $20.00 worth of parts, one does their "job" and go home and enjoy music on one's high end system.

Remember that we are talking about "First World" problems here. Any speakers are better than no speakers, and I'm sure that the OP will enjoy his speakers regardless of what others feel about them. There are much worse speakers around, and some of them cost way more.

had an old friend that had these speakers.... 901 series 2,  driving them was a Technics Sp10 w/Technics arm, Going into an Audio Research SP10, driving with Kenwood L07M mono amps. 
 I've never heard ANY Bose sound better.

The point of the "wall of sound" Dead system was discrete amps driving specific speakers for each instrument, instead of mixing everybody into the same drivers. Hense the enormity of the system, expense, and  impracticality…but it sounded great for about a mile in every direction.
