Bose 901...really

Since the speakers are designed to take advantage of reflected sound, there is a logic in your proposition.

However, it's Bose's logic that I can't quite rationalize. Bose are suggesting, correctly in my view, that you hear a lot of reflected sound as well as direct sound, hence their direct/reflecting speakers. So far, this seems logical.

However, if you record stereo using a traditional recording method, a pair of microphones in Blumlein configuration for example, then you are capturing reflected sound in the original recording, as well as the direct sound. So since you have already captured reflected sound in the orginal recording, what is the logic of reflecting it again with the speaker? It seems that it would just put you another step away from the original music, with more opportunity to mess things up in some way.

On the other hand, it's not a high fidelity situation anyways, so why not have some fun. Give it a try and tell us how it turns out.

Given my luck with lottery tickets, I don't know whether I'm much of a betting man. However, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the Bose will do very well indeed against the Dynaudio. I think that the Dynaudios are meant to be in a more traditional setting. Your setting seems to be playing up to the Bose's strengths. It's been a long, long time since I heard 901's so I don't really remember. However, I have certainly read many reports that the 901's are good speakers. Just because Bose don't work the high end of the market doesn't mean they're not capable. As an analogy, that downscale car company, Fiat, do pretty well with their upscale brand...what's it's called?...Ferrari is it?
