Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?

Curious - has anyone tried the 901's in an acoustically treated room?  If so, your thoughts?

I've thought about trying out my 901's in my music room, but since it's got a bunch of GIK acoustic treatment throughout, I've never done it.  I think the Bose needs a more reflective set of walls behind and to the sides.  

But I think I'm going to give it a try soon and just wanted to see if anyone else has done the same (and are willing to admit to it publicly). 

Cheers.

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……..
