| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? 901's are the perfect club speaker. You can run a ridiculous amount of current through them before they break up. We would run 1 Bryston 4B per speaker (usually 6-8 per venue) for ear drum shattering spl's. They would handle mids and uppers well b... | |
| How important is a good rack? What you are trying to accomplish is isolating external vibrations from your components. The best rack will accomplish little if it is sitting on a bouncy floor. Wall mounting on a bearing wall usually results in the best isolation. | |

| B&W Matrix 801 Series II As my fellow CT resident Ct0517 has described his experience with this speaker I realized how good they really are. With the room dimensions mentioned you should be able to let the 801's bloom with authority providing you are willing to put the h... | |
