Back in the day, my Army days, the PX had these brand of speakers. Bose, Polk (new on the scene) Klipsch, Cerwin Vega, Infinity, JBL, Technics and Pioneer. Maybe a few others. Ahhhh... those were the early days.
Many bashers here on this speaker. Its a unique sound which is not for everyone. It has spatial direct reflecting sound. Not for me, but its a product for music listening that got marketed so well.
I remember a friend bought a pair and back then was under the impression that they were fantastic speakers and didn't know any better. That is until I listened to them. Was NOT impressed in the least so maybe he didn't have them set up right? Some of the other Bose speakers I had heard sounded decent.
Modern DSP application including a steep rolloff for the low octaves could take 901s or most any speaker to the next level. I bet a pair would be more fun for the price (which appears to not reflect much if any inflation) than many of the competition.
