thoughts on the bose 501 speakers

I listened to the 501's in a home system back in '75. Wide open very dimensional soundstage! I liked what I heard! "Legend Of A Mind" and the rest of In Search Of The Lost Chord by the Moody Blues. Maybe the best speaker ever from Bose?

@deadhead1000, i had the pioneer direct drive turntable pl-51 with the at15s shibata stylus to play the cd-4 records!

"...I have Series 1 and 2 901's that I bought used for my 5.1 setup. I think they were and still are their finest product..."

Series 1s were the best of the bunch. They may have been their best product but they were not the best loudspeaker in 1971 or any of the following years.

I personally liked the 501's better than the 901's, even the early series.

I have no thoughts on the Bose 501 speakers.
