For all you Bose 901 Haters!

                                          "Cookin’ with flatulence."

           Then: consuming MASS QUANTITIES of Intermodulation Distortion.

McIntosh + Bose 901?  What kind of power cables should I get for that?

🤣

                      "What kind of power cables should I get for that?"

                                        For BEST sound: NONE!

I know it is fashionable to bash Bose 901s, but in 1972 when my wife and I bought Series 1 901s and a McIntosh 2105 amp to drive them they sounded damned fine to us, college kids who loved to party.  We spent a little money my wife had inherited to buy our stereo and for that year our audio purchases exceeded our gross income. They were followed by Magnepans, electrostatics with 18" JBL subwoofers, DIY Dynaudio towers and now best of all my DIY Triamplified horns. One interesting thing about the Bose and Macs is that now half a century later they have required no repairs and they still play fine at my son’s house in his basement party room.

I have to say I like the looks.

Marketing is king and I still remember not too long ago: every bigger mall had a Bose showroom. And the best system I heard in cars.

But I never had the desire to have them in my living room
