Bose 901 Review Well Done.

Back in the day, my Army days, the PX had these brand of speakers. Bose, Polk (new on the scene) Klipsch, Cerwin Vega, Infinity, JBL, Technics and Pioneer. Maybe a few others. Ahhhh... those were the early days.

Many bashers here on this speaker. Its a unique sound which is not for everyone.  It has spatial direct reflecting sound. Not for me, but its a product for music listening that got marketed so well. 

I remember a friend bought a pair and back then was under the impression that they were fantastic speakers and didn't know any better. That is until I listened to them. Was NOT impressed in the least so maybe he didn't have them set up right? Some of the other Bose speakers I had heard sounded decent.

Modern DSP application including a steep rolloff for the low octaves could take 901s or most any speaker to the next level.  I bet a pair would be more fun for the price (which appears to not reflect much if any inflation) than many of the competition.
