Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?

I heard them a/b'd against the Large Advents I was auditioning back in the late 70's. yes, the Bose sounded you more with music at high volumes. But on normal listening levels the Original Large Advents sound a lot better.

Now some clarification to the surrounding with music. It did so because of the room reflections so it wasn't an accurate sound stage. it was more akin to Quadraphonic sound with sound bouncing around. but instead of 4 speakers it would do so with 2.

They produce plenty of bass, IMO.

But not low bass.

The 901's sold well because they looked futuristic on their pedestal stands - not because of their SQ. They didn't look like all those boring box speakers of the late 60's!

back in the 70's, the 901's were advertised as 'cadillac quality in a volkswagon space!! 

Funny. I’m not sure when it comes to speakers that Volkswagen quality in a Cadillac space wouldn’t be better……..
