When Money Is No Object -- You Buy Bose?

I saw this on the check out line at the supermarket.  The pit living room is the cover shot for this month's Dwell magazine.  There are many things I like about the house, not that I would make the same choices, but it's a nice look.  The integration of the building and the terrain is marvelous.  However, the Bose 901s and how they're positioned with all that glass just made me laugh.  Did a designer do that to them as a joke?

Probably not. The 901's on stands were a pretty striking look, The pic hides them. So, I would say the interior designer placed them for aesthetics more than acoustics, and the photographer composed the shot for overall ambiance.

I think the 1970s styling is perfectly appropriate for the style. You can't hear a picture.

They appear a ways from the walls which is probably a good thing in there.   Probably as good a choice as any for that room.   Its one you have to adapt to as best possible.  Not designed for audiophiles.

I agree, the 901's on stands are a striking look, however, IMHO, I think they look horrible in that room. I'm thinking some of the B&O speakers would look great in that room.
