I have several that I've acquired over the years. They're good quality but
the music selection is very limited.

Thanks. It's time to go shopping for some new CD's anyway.

Oh yeah. That helped me sell an awful lot of audio equipment when I was in
that biz. Customers would come in say "This CD just flomped my speakers".
Usually, they were trying to play it with 30 watts a channel into some lame
Japanese speakers. $3000 later, they left happy.


When Telarc produced the 1812 on LP, it did the same for the turntable
business also! It's still one of my favorites.

When I played the first track of the 'Star Tracks' album, I thought I'd
blow my speakers, even though I had Bose 901's at the time.

Bose 901s??? Do you wear a backwards Caterpillar cap and have confederate
flag decals on your car windows? Nobody bought 901s from us except toothless
retards from the boondocks.

Hey, at one time 901s were considered top shelf speakers by many. I knew a
guy that had a set for which he had built his own active compensation
network to replace the one that came with the speakers. He then modified
his living room floor to the delight of his wife (didn't tell her about his
plans), cutting out joists and building a baffled enclosure right into the
floor for an 18-inch woofer ... the original sub.

Guy had a great sound system, but his marriage didn't last.

No wonder she left. Those speakers were hideous. For the majority of people
who loved them, there was just one reason they wanted them: "Duh drool
they're hard to blow up". There was ALWAYS a better speaker they could've
bought, for the same money or less, but it was like arguing with a rabid
evangelist. We finally learned to ask just one question when someone asked
for 901s: "Cash or credit card?"

Their products were and still are phenominally overpriced. That pays for the
endless sales contests they run for retail staff. I got some nice Nikon
photo equipment that way, and I never recommended the product to anyone.
"Got a pair of 901s in stock?" "Yes. Cash or credit card?"

And once more (I pointed this out years ago here in a previous
discussion of some Bose product): as with everything else in the
physical world, Bose speakers cannot violate the laws of physics.

Woof.

I am talking over 30 years ago. I think it was 1969 or 1970. The 901s
were fairly new then and were considered "revolutionary". This was before
Bose became a marketing driven company and old Dr. Bose still had his hands
on the reins.

Certainly there were better speakers and there definitely are much better
ones now. But for the average Joe who wanted "high end" at the time, the
original Bose 901 system was decent and reasonably affordable. You just
needed a humongous amplifier to drive them properly.

At the time of those "Bose," I had a nice set of Wharfedales.

Oh come on. AR's top of the line stuff blew the doors off Bose at the time,
and the used the simplest designs imaginable. Same with large Advents.
That's why reputable speaker companies keep coming back to these basic
designs over and over again.
