Bose 901 Series V Questions


Please no Bose bashers.

#1. Has anyone ever listened to these speakers backwards ?

( with the 8 woofers facing you )...interested in your opinion regarding sound ...good or bad ?

#2.  Can the color of the drivers be black as well as blue ?

I am running my Bose Equalizer between Amp and Preamp...Is that a good way ?

Thank you

I once watched a movie, or maybe it was one of those CSI shows on the TV, in which the crime scene room had a pair of Bose 901 speakers with the "V" pointed out into the room. I could understand the prop man making that mistake as that’s the side that houses most of the drivers. Back in the ’70’s I bought a used set without an equalizer and they sounded pretty bad. I bought a second set and wired them in parallel, one set on their stands and the other hanging a couple of feet from the ceiling directly above the first set and powered by a Phase Linear 700B. I thought I had attained the "absolute sound"!
