For all you Bose 901 Haters!

Arthur Bach’s 901’s? Just under $500. in 1969 dollars. Series V just over $1500 in 1984 dollars. Novel but over priced.

Those Avalon Radian’s would be far more interesting, even today.

takes me back those ‘Bose is Best‘ days - 901s, 2 big Macs and some zipcord - what more could you want?

Throw away the Bose equalizer, add a pair of powered subs along with a 200wpc amp and now you're cookin'!

@fuzztone :-)))))    That is about right. The 901's knock sound all over the place and their ability to image is close to zero. The Large Advent although not capable of the volume was a much better loudspeaker. It actually could cast a very creditable image. We set them up on stands (just slightly ahead of our time) I drove mine with a Marantz 7C preamp and a Fuzz Linear 700. In ways they were better than the Klipsch Heresys  I also owned at the time.
