Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater?

Just searched that power amp.  Someone is listing one for over $5000.00
Again, selling that off would fund  a really great sounding 5.1 system, even without buying used equipment, and it would probably sound several times better than your current set up

from 1971 till 1988 i had a 4 chanell system. from 1988 till 2000 it was in storage. from 2000 till now i only listen to music, radio and tv thru my system.  in 2011 i got the mc602 and in 2014 i got the mx132. i only use it once a week. i only bought these 2 units just to have it.

back in the early 70's there was 4 chanell and i had 4 901's. i basicly had mine setup as 2 up front and 2 on the sides.

Bose products are not about accuracy, but rather musicality. They are not designed for critical listening, but rather casual enjoyment.  I had owned 301's as well as 901's in the past and I was very satisfied with the amazing soundstage they provided.  The 301's sound "classic" in their auditory signature. Both the 301's and 901's are well suited to modern jazz and classical music. I have tried many varieties of speakers after I parted with the Bose 901's and I have not yet found an equal in terms of soundstage. All brands of speakers have their pros and cons.  If you want absolute purity and accuracy in reproduction, then look for something else.  If you want musicality and vivacious soundstage, then the 901's are perfect.  Don't be misled by those who have never owned 901's but have plenty of opinions.  My home theater consists of all Klipsch set up (the last series made in the USA with silk tweeter based horns that are not shrill or harsh), my listening rooms have Carver Amazing III+ and JBL Studio monitors, and my home office is all Klipsch, but I missed the musicality and the soundstage of the 901's so I recently bought a pair for my den.  

Hello Folks
i wanted to reply regarding the Bose speaker home theatre application question.. a little background on myself and audio experience... 
i am 55 and retired and have been into audio listening really all of my life from gramps phono graph to suitcase record player to first loyd's all in one stereo , electrohome dome spaceship stereo, then in the 80's everything like Nikko/ luxman/ Harmon kardon, Sherwood, kenwood, pioneer, sansui, vector research , Yamaha , bryston, carver and the list goes on and on from cassette, cd , vinyl to streaming .. been there done that at the average joe's budget .. I also mention being in a band and my wife is a concert violinist and music teacher with a great music studio .. baby grand piano, Yamaha clavinova piano, guitars, violins , marshal stacks and both electric drum kit and full size reg kit .... 
i have what I consider to be a poor mans kick ass home theater.. overhead dlp hd projector, 120in screen, Sony blue ray , pioneer thx 7.1 receiver , Polk rti7 towers biamped, Polk ci30 center , Polk rt15 side surround and vintage  1978  toshiba floor cabinet 3 way speakers with 10in woofers, a small powered 10 in sub, all decent quality cables( 12 gauge speaker cable)  and interconnects .. I must say this little system is as good as any cineplex!! 

But now being retired purchased a set of 1985 Bose 4.2's and hooked them up in my living room ( 65in 4K has flat screen)with my Yamaha rxv575 receiver , yamaha CD player with energy powered sub and Wow!! I was blown away with these old bose! So I took my old bose 201's(1992) out of the closet and hooked them up as rear surrounds and my old 1994 infinity video 1 center speaker and again I was blown away at the soundstage !! . So what did I do next ? Well I tracked down a used bose vcs 10 center speaker and swapped out the infinity ans  I got to say it surpasses the Polk system in my rec room !!! . I find myself not only watching movies over again but listening to 2 channel music and enjoying things again. The Bose sound is spaciously enveloping with a true concert like  audio sound !! Not harsh highs or boomy bass but easy to listen to for hrs on end .. and every seat in the sweet spot not just the one ... I must mention I spent last weekend at a buddy's place auditioning his new system.. rotel 350 watt power amp with the matching preamp , pioneer elite fibre optic cd player and b&w 702's .. $11000 plus tax .. sounded beautiful when sitting in the one sweet spot and tiresome after 5 plus hrs ...
ao after all is said and done I do recommend bose speakers and a sub for home theater and two channel listening .... I add that I have read many a bose bash review and really am dumbfounded at the BS comments... I
conclude they must not have much experience or decent amps/ receivers that can set up the home theater speakers properly and ...... have been comparing a bose speaker side by side with a conventional speaker... and or really have not and are just flipping off their gums !! 
So.... go out and find some used bose or buy new 201's and 301's .. add a sub and center channel speaker and u really r all set with a great inexpensive system that is by far better than other speaker systems out there for your buck and sound !! 
In closing I mention I do not have  much listening experience with the Bose accoustamass systems other than my 90 yr old inlaws system set up in the apartment .. and it'a ease of use and sound is perfect for them and no noise complaints from neighbors!!
