For all you Bose 901 Haters!

It cracks me up to hear a couple of people bring up Advent speakers in this post.  I had those when I was in grade school, and coincidentally hung them from my ceiling.  Unfortunately, I fed them too much power from a crap stereo and blew the midrange out.  In college, I knew a guy who got his first job out of school at Bose and got me 301s for $99 a pair.  I connected two sets to a Sony ES stereo as a single 4 ohm speaker, and they could hammer in that configuration, which again coincidentally is what people say you should do with the Advents.  Half the fun of audio is to play around and see what sounds good to you.

Not to be my picky self again, but the Advent was a two way speaker and did not have a 3rd driver for those mid frequency bands. I am certain it was the tweeters that crapped out. All good ! BTW, I also played around with stacked Advents, and although good, my stacked Klipsch Heresy's presented me with a lot more enjoyment ( it really all sounded good with flower, lol ).

Getting ready to setup Bose 901’s with a Carver M-1.5t. Will see how it sounds.
