Best U.S.A. speakers?

I'll own up to it.

Bought a pair of Bose 901 (first series) when I was in the Navy; Norfolk, Virgina in 1971.

And you're right, they were $476/pr.

Drove (well tried to drive) them with a Harmann Kardon Citation 12 (60WPC). Preamp was the matching Citation 11.

If you heard them you'd realize looks had nothing to do with it.
