thoughts on the bose 501 speakers

I owned the Bose 901 series 2`s. back in 1974 sounds ok when pumping at outrageous volume and high on weed. the 501`s seriously suck.

"No highs, no lows, must be Bose"

As an audio retail sales person and store manager back in the late 70s, that was how we would describe them.  We sold them, people wanted them, but not by any of us in the industry.

These speakers are ancient history.

I thought Audiogon was trying to move up to a new level of true high fidelity.
At least we can say 
Audiogon is a free, fair, open forum.
Even Bose can get a  post.
