Bose 901 Review Well Done.

The real problem is they don't do what Amar says they should do because on a good recording the room ambience is already there and besides adding in the sound bouncing around the room is merely adding a new distortions. Ad to that the frequency response is a comb filter as Gordon Holt showed half a century ago in his review.

It's OK to like them so long as the term fidelity is not used to describe them.

Well, at least we have permission to like them. Thanks. :) Just kidding around, no worries here. 

I did move on from mine many years ago but I never got rid of them. They are capable of some very interesting things. That is not a rave review, just an acceptance that they are fun to listen to for some interesting effects and they are able to play very loud as well. Again, not high end praise, just something different.

I have to laugh....lol

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

And it's already going sideways!

I certainly have not heard them since 1985. I had a friend that thought he was an audiophile and played them with great pride. My memory was exactly the lead line... No highs... no lows.. complete absence of dynamics... but I have a terrible memory, maybe they sounded great.
