@millercarbon............
Were they successful? |
I think there are more satisfied listeners overall of 901s than higher end audio listeners.. |
Exactly.
Who is winning that one? |
|
I will bet the B&Ws over time only played certain genres better and were more fatiguing.....A smart Demo is not set on whole buy the seller....the buyer often unaware due to inexperience falls in to the trap. To call the 901s terrible? Really? |
@thosbAdvent.........low end?
|
@steve59Bless your heart...You make total sense... A humble and informed reply.
100 percent correct solid gold bro. |
Steve59.....
You got ears bro.. |
Their strength is they play anything.
Too say they are terrible. I will never understand. |

And I dont even own a pair. I was able to spend a whole weekend in a house that had them...I listened to CD....Btooth and played all styles. It was a total joy. They played anything I thru at them effortlessly with Panache. |
Mr.DECIBEL is in 1st place. |
|
All hail rchopp....
Audiophile? Hardly what a ridiculous reply.
We are living in the age of Moron. |

Congrats to the winner of the most ridiculous unaudiophile reply. This is the dark side of our hobby From...rchop or something like that. 10:30pmThe most hilarious experience ever in my shop when I tried them. We laughed so hard I still remember it.
Successful? Sure, at marketing and taking out really "cool" ads. These were the days of Hugh Hefner's TV show where pipes, smoking jackets, jazz on the stereo, and scantily-clad ladies discussing Heidegger and the politics of sex were successful, too.
It was a period in time where the company, which continues its ways, presented itself as based on total science--I think they had guys in white coats in some of their print ads--to cover the ridiculous products they tried to sell.
Never has there been a worse-sounding speaker MASQUERADING as a great scientific achievement. Well, I take that back. Some of today's charlatans charge infinitely more for their hoo-doo, and they get it just like bose did back then.
Evidently, some of their stuff is once again popular for some reason. I would not waste any of my time seeking to hear anything they made back then or today.
But hey, have at it if you wish. The world is a big place full of many people.
Cheers--and still laughing! |

........is an audiophile. |
Wolfie62
I would also like having a pair.
Your experience similar to mine...
|
@millercarbonThe set I listened to were driven by a Yamaha 50 Watt Natural Sound Receiver....Inefficient? |
@almarg
Seriously..........who really cares for the sophisticato answer....Recently a poster dropped several thousand dollars on a system and cannot play certain tracks because the sound is intolerable.
The 901s with Panache can play this track. |
Schubert????????
???????????? |
Miller......
Stop it....you are being foolish. |
@clearthink
Well said you are 100 percent correct.
Egoistic thinking driven by them so they put themselves in a higher perceived class......so far from being a true audiophile. |
@bdp24
???????????????????? |
@clearhinkSo..........
.
An audiophile is one who sees no merit in the Bose 901 .....hmmmm.. |
|
@miller
He is taking a midrange and getting it to sound like a tweeter......let the eq be..... |
@miller ...........
They sound good..........forget your numbers.....who cares how you eq them. |
Rich...
Glad I didnt either. |
Audio stores are becoming a thing of the past.
FAANG part of it..
