With the sub woof, there is plenty of low.



Not long after Bose introduced the 901's they also introduced the
original 501 series. The 501 had a 10" woofer and two small combination
mid-range and tweeter drivers. One of the mid-range/tweeter
drivers was aimed backwards to bounce off a wall. In fact, the early
501's (series III) had a knob on the top that allowed you to adjust the
angle of the back firing driver. I had a set of the original 501's and
later a set of the series III. They had more than enough bass response
for the average living room. Biggest difference was the originals were
4 ohms and the later series (starting with III) were 8 ohms.


I bought a set of Bose 301's for my mom who had a pretty small living room. Although
pretty small bookshelf speakers, they packed a hell of a wallop when desired.

Oh, and I'm sure Krause will tell you what ****ty speakers the 501's were. I bought a
set of those when my 901's finally kicked the bucket - after about 25 years of hard
use. They fit nicely on the same stands which held the 901's.
