Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?

I think properly set up the Bose spealers can sound rather nice.  As good as higher end speakers?  Possibly.

I was curious to see if anyone plopped down a pair of 901's in an acoustically treated room as the majority of their sound is aimed at the front (behind the speakers) wall.

I've got a bunch of gear in my listening room right now so maybe sometime this weekend I'll move stuff around to see how they sound.  My corner treatment will have to stay but I can remove the 244's centered on the front wall if needed.  And also the 244's in the first reflection point.

The "no bass" comments surprise me.  Back in the day, four 901's (one in each corner of a ceiling) were used in some clubs for dance music.  They produce plenty of bass, IMO.

I wonder if the treatment reduces the higher frequencies just boosting the treble on the EQ would counter it enough.  Hmm.

Will find out sooner or later.

Thanks for the link to Holt’s review.  I read that years ago and had pretty much forgotten about it.

How nice that he actually took the time to give it an in-depth review rather than just dismissing it outright as many do nowadays.  In the end what I got out of it is it does some things well and others not so well.  Pretty much like any other speaker out there.

Years ago I had a pair of the Series VI in a small apartment living room driven by the Aleph 3 and the Rogue 66 preamp.  Listening to George Winston’s solo piano record was an awesome experience.  I have not heard a solo piano sound as good as that rig did in that room since.
