I also sold them way back when, the tweeters were not high-quality. Any of the typical receivers back then could drive them pretty loud, so they were popular. The Mirage Speakers and AR's we had were way better, but the Bose name always sold them no matter what they sounded like. They did have a good sound-stage with their 'direct-reflecting' speakers, but sound-stage is not the same as good imaging. So, did you have the Technics or Pioneer turntable? With a AT, Shure or Pickering cartridge by any chance? Thanks for the memories!
