I have a Bose 901 Lifestyle system (15 years old and still going strong) in a room with a Yamaha piano, a set of Gretsch drums and a plethora of percussion instruments, from bells to chimes, to guiros, and claves, and so forth. As a musician, and speaking to other musicians, the 901s are really great speakers. Their tonal balance is spot on. They reproduce the voicing of my piano with uncanny accuracy. Bells and chimes and cymbals the same. The overtones from cymbals are amazing. I have two different pairs of finger cymbals for example that have quite distinct tonality. Bose 901s reproduce their individual character amazingly well. I love these speakers and always have. They are not for everybody and they are not audiophile speakers, but they work well for a lot of people and have done so for many, many years. I am sure the Yamaha electronics would work very well with them.
Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000
Hi.
I'm a jazz mania who is interested in purchasing new audio system in a couple of months.
Currently, I'm considering Bose 901 (series VI) speakers & Yamaha A-S2000 integrated amp but not sure if the Yamaha amp will be a good match for the Bose speakers.
Also, I heard that Creek 5350SE will be a good one.
Can anyone recommend any good integrated amp (under $2,000) that can match well with the Bose speakers?
Or I would be glad if anyone can recommend good system (amp + speakers) for listening to jazz. My budget is limited to $3,500. Since I use my PC & a DAC (NuForce uDAC-2) to play 24/96 FLAC files, I don't think I need to buy a CD player for now. (I might need to buy a better DAC though.)
Thanks in advance.
