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

The 901’s are very picky on how they need to be placed. Distance from the ceiling, side walls, rear walls, from each other etc. As far as your question is concerned, yes, you can turn them around but the room filling effect that they were designed for goes out the window. If you can’t install them within the parameters suggested by the manufacture, having them backwards may even be a better option. I have heard them backwards and they sound good. Just experiment. If you like the way they sound that’s all that matters. As for me, I was happy with them when I had them, but over time realized that they lack fidelity. I donated them to a family member several years ago. * Definitely use the included eq!
