Hello 1perpet2. An equalizer is an equilizer. Bose. DBX, whoever. The EQ is asking your amp to put out way more bass than usual for "normal" speakers. Any EQ trying to make the 901's sound good would do the same thing. You don't need a different EQ. Bose warns you because other speakers may not survive the boost required to make the 901's sing nicely. Think about it. The EQ feeds you amp that feeds the speakers, right? The amp is what you need to think about! It is likely to be pushed into distortion which causes damage to the tweeter voice coils of other speakers. The 901 uses 1 ohm speakers in series with one another. It is the only speaker that can reproduce the sound of a nine foot wide solo violin. Of course, there are no nine foot wide violins. Have pity for the amp that drives the 901's. Happy listening.
Hello and "THANKS IN ADVANCE"
Recently I purchased a pair of Bose 901's and 601's. I'm running the 901's with the Bose equalizer through speaker "A" connections. The 601's are through "B" connections. I'm scared of the warning in the 901 owners manual that says the 901 equalizer may damage other speakers. Does anyone know where to set my unused 7 band graphic equalizer as to better duplicate the bose equalizer? it"s range is +- 12 db starting at 63Hz to 12.5kHz.
