Bose 901 Review Well Done.

I found after 40 years of Hi End I have just relaxed into enjoying the music again with a pair I picked up for $300.00 dollars.

I have found the reviewers thoughts to be right on.

That's what I love about the hobby.

Enjoying the fact they play anything you throw at them.

A good front end delivery and they will.surprise you.

Add a good room and your good to go.

@secretguy

Did you read the interview?

Your thoughts besides your previous?

@billpete 

It's incredibly dynamic when you tweak it out.

The arcam rblink built like a tank is an incredible sounding Btooth DAC

it has aptx which can give CD quality if your outboard gear has aptx.

I liked the fact the reviewer played them for other philosophy and they were impressed.

If anybody owns them...fire them up again.

It's the spirit of our hobby...it's always evolving.

Experiment you might be surprised.

@billpete

They really play anything you throw at them.

Lol...

If you have a really good front end setup....

Try this....a set of 201 series Vi I picked up a set for $45.00

Honestly for less than the price of takeout these days I was delivered Champagne. 

Totally shocked me.

Note:

They require the EQ.

They have no Tweeters and no  Crossover.

Thus for you as far as far as  Drums go because of no crossover their "pace" is fantastic.

Get that EQ working!

Cheers!

You also .shouldn't have to play them loud to be appreciated.

Enter the EQ.

@billlpete

I run a tube pre between my integrated and amp.

Really has helped the sound.

@billpete 

The tube pre will take the edge off the harsh thing that digital can bring...

I would like to make a suggestion for your your streaming entry( if you wish to go there)

Here is the gear.

Used Arcam Rblink Bluetooth ($75.00 usd)

An Ipad mini used if you wish. (Cheap)

Spotify music streaming. ($10.00 or so a month)

The secret cause here is the Ipad mini sound signature and I have proven it to others live in a Demo.

It images incredibly and the Bass out is perfect.

Your system will "Jam" with incredible musicality in every genre.

Don't chase details and resolution to the point of "skipping" tracks.

It is then a miserable hobby.

Cheers!

@billpete 

I certainly here you about the 901 discussions.

There seems to be a whole lot out there that believe 40k is better than 30k speakers etc.

I believe the Delta there is insane.

I've hear alot and owned alot.

And the soap opera is the first thing I adjust on my new tv's.

Smoothing Motion plus Video....OFF!

I don't like Hi rez audio...but thank you for the rec!

I've tried it...I find d it's "cut.and paste audio"

It's akin to TV these days where you get that "Soap Opera " effect video.

Like hi rez audio " it.doesnt jam" does not exude the right emotion...

Just like you can't replace an old song on.an old AM radio...

Hi rez is just numbers to my ears.

Cheers!

M-'da

It might be interesting to hear them driven by todays refined solid state or hybrid amplification.

You hit it!

I have to laugh....lol

We have a solid review from an audiophile....

And it's already going sideways!
