For all you Bose 901 Haters!

to answer poster Roxy's question, i also have a pair of thiel cs.5 speakers that are my main music listening speakers, along with a pair of omni 50s for the rear channels, a universal surround box sourcing their sound feed. have maggies in another room, and the person who said they don't image well must have problems with his, mine are like a sonic hologram [not to be confused with the colored-sounding carver gizmo].

this video shows the 901's positioned wrong. they were desighned to be against the wall. back in the day they were siad to have cadillac quality in a volkswagon space! i have 4 901 series 2 powered by a mcintosh 600 watt per chanell amp! when i crank up the volume at maybe 400 watts they sound dam good to me! sometimes at a high volume even bad speakers sounds good!!

Two products, Bose and Mcintosh, that had their supporters but never produced great sound.

you realise those McIntosh owners will eventually track you down……

I love that guys YouTube channel. I don’t know what microphone he uses, but his videos always sound good considering it’s YouTube. 

Nothing wrong with using Bose 901s if that’s what you like. Play the hell out them. I agree with the earlier poster that the owners of these speakers probably enjoy listening to music a lot more than the majority of people on this forum.

I am not surprised to see another discussion for you “equipment snobs” to bash others for enjoying something that brings them happiness. You’re a sad lot that only seem to get enjoyment by ridiculing others and because if what they own. I’m still waiting for some of you to post what you actually own and listen to at home. Although at this point I wouldn’t believe anything you actually list or show.
