Anyone using Bose 901 speakers in a home theater? I'm considering getting one or two pair of good used 901's in a home theater setup. Anyone using Bose 301 or Bose 501 in a home theater?

Bose products are not about accuracy, but rather musicality. They are not designed for critical listening, but rather casual enjoyment.  I had owned 301's as well as 901's in the past and I was very satisfied with the amazing soundstage they provided.  The 301's sound "classic" in their auditory signature. Both the 301's and 901's are well suited to modern jazz and classical music. I have tried many varieties of speakers after I parted with the Bose 901's and I have not yet found an equal in terms of soundstage. All brands of speakers have their pros and cons.  If you want absolute purity and accuracy in reproduction, then look for something else.  If you want musicality and vivacious soundstage, then the 901's are perfect.  Don't be misled by those who have never owned 901's but have plenty of opinions.  My home theater consists of all Klipsch set up (the last series made in the USA with silk tweeter based horns that are not shrill or harsh), my listening rooms have Carver Amazing III+ and JBL Studio monitors, and my home office is all Klipsch, but I missed the musicality and the soundstage of the 901's so I recently bought a pair for my den.
