Back in 1982 I listened to 901 Series IV, I believe. Fun speakers! College dorm rooms. Mine were Boston Acoustics A70s. 

The 901s took up very little space, played to loud volumes, and did a nice job rendering detail without fatigue. Bass was tight, not boomy or overblown. AC/DC “Back In Black” was a favorite, from an Empire 2000Z cart. Billy Joel “Glass Houses” was fun. Michael Jackson “Off The Wall” and Thriller at loud volumes sounded pretty amazing!

i wouldn’t mind having a pair today! Great bang for the buck, if you’re careful! I would not reform; I would use butyl rubber surrounds.
I’ve listened to 901s, Series IV, properly set up. They are just flat fun to listen to! Very fast, dynamic, detailed, with nice imaging and room fill. Visceral and not fatiguing at all. Enjoyable speakers, with a small footprint. I thoroughly enjoyed them. 65 Watts/ch and I was very satisfied. I actually miss them!
