Bose 901

Depends on what you want. I don't need pin point imaging. I need LOUD rock that wont clip and distort. I haven't listened to them in about 25 years but they were the ones that I wanted and couldn't afford. I tried the 501's but they never worked for rock. The 901's sure did though.
They were classic PX speakers. Some of you will know what I mean.

Eldartford, you are right about the brick wall come to think of it. I always heard these in the Barracks which were block walls. I was in Korea drinking Ginseng wine and popping Tilidons (morphine). What a freaking mess I was and at least half of my company. I was a helicopter mechanic. I was on flight status at fort Campbell KY. I got shipped to Korea and I am watching all of these helicopters flying around and going poof in the air and fall to the ground. I said to this guy, "what is going on here". He said," You don't want to be on flight status over here, everyone is all f-ed up". What a great army we had back then :-)
