I tried but went back to conventional setup. they could be used as concert speakers though, backfiring towards the musicians. I never liked the sound of the Bose equalizer, and ended up running the 901s (v2) without it, accepting a very bell-shaped frequency curve.
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 best sound I got from 901s was in front of a brick wall. With the V towards the wall. That wall had a surprisingly large impact on the sound. And breathing space. The V maybe three-four feet in front. And of course, most of the time I did use the equalizer. But I never liked the sound of it. This was the v2 version. I thought of getting a better equalizer but never got around to it. |
@mbarrett635 - new equalizer - this is probably what I should have done. But in the end I wanted something new anyway. Great speakers but they did have limits. |
