Bose 901 series with and ipod.

Better then the hammer.

This site is for people asking questions. The OP is new to this site and was asking a question about his Bose speakers. I have never listened to a Bose. I did not think that poking fun at him was the right thing to do. I doubt that the OP will post here anymore because of the many that made fun of his speakers. Kapish ?

@yogiboy Reasonable caution. On the other hand, people poked fun at me. It was not that hard to withstand -- indeed, it's worth the price of admission if one is really seeking information. Maybe give the OP credit for a slightly tougher skin or sense of humor? Meanness and cruelty are over the line, but a little fun? Surely the psyche has to be built with some durability or how are we going to survive?

Getting back to the OP question, I didn’t realize that these speakers are active. I had read the description on the Bose site and was specifically looking for that, so my bad. At any rate if they are active speakers all the OP needs is a Bluetooth receiver such as the Audioengine that I referenced earlier. Does anyone know if the iPod does Bluetooth? It has been a long time since I’ve had one.

A more general point is active speakers with DSP.  The only active speakers that I have ever heard are Audioengine.  However there are so many new AS on the market, and I might be moving in a few years and starting to consider AS for their space conserving values.  Are there other brands that add DSP as well?

The Yamaha integrated posted would work well, as long as you use the 901 eq.
