Bose 901 Review Well Done.

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. 

Greetings: I'm a retired 70 yr old here. I've been making A LOT of extra money refurbishing old BOSE 901s. Hey, don't knock it! Money is money...  On my workbench now I have 3 series V (5) that someone spray painted black with like a very light coat...terrible idea...  Anyway, I was wondering if ANYONE thinks it would be kewl to REALLY do this "black" right and do a FLAWLESS PIANO GLOSS BLACK finish on these? I know, why waste all the effort and TIME to do this but it's either that or part the three out since all the parts are in VERY good condition. Even the drivers are in great condition with the original surrounds! I've been refurbishing 901s now for over 30 yrs. Just wondering.
