901 series 2 speakers

...and all things and comments being said, we've proved once again that it's impossible to be everything to everyone.

6$ per speaker....mmm.....I wonder what a 901'X' would sound like with 'better' drivers, even if your only 'yardstick' was $.  Sure, it'd be more $, but it'd an interesting thing to try...select to correct for the perceived shortfalls.

They really demanded to be in a larger than average room, for sure.  Otherwise it was like having your head IN the enclosure with the drivers...'really big headphones'...*G*

normansizemore, the 901 series 5 didn't need a lot of power. the old one's did. as far as which amp sounded better I don't know. but at least with my McIntosh amp I don't have to worry about "dc current" frying my speakers!!

Heard them briefly in the '70's and was not impressed. I liked their look. Diffuse sound stage and bass not defined or strong. There is a lot of useful analysis of their sonic abilities here.
