Bose 901 VI flat?


I purchased a pair of Bose 901 VI speakers recently and a new Sony STRDH190 receiver.  I have wanted these speakers for years and finally got them.  Problem is, they sound flat and weaker than expected.  I adjusted the bass and treble to my liking but that only helped a little.  I have the Bose EQ that came with the speakers but i'm not using it due to new receiver technology.  Am i doing something wrong? I know these are great speakers with a great history.

I looked at the back and and saw Tape Rec out and Play in jacks so i bought it but this didn't work.

That should work. You'll need to engage the front panel "tape monitor" switch to get the EQ in the loop.

Wow! I have never received so much help and advice from any forum ever! This has been so helpful ... i don’t have the ears you guys have but im now very happy with my setup

Ignore those who don’t like your speakers. You’re happy and that’s what counts!

You need the EQ either in a tape loop, or if your receiver has pre out/amp in, you can use that. The 901s are designed to be used with the EQ.
