bose 501 speakers

hi everyone, any thoughts of this speaker from the 70's? I believe that during the 70's bose only had the 901's and the 501's.

Sounded quite impressive then! Maybe much better than the 901 (all those small drivers, ugh!). At least the 501 has a decent-sized woofer (10 inch) for bass! The two left and right angled tweeters give a nice wide spread to the stereo image. They sounded nice and open to me!

A friend of mine owned them! https://www.bose.com/en_us/support/products/floorstanding_speakers_support/601_series1.html
