For all you Bose 901 Haters!

@fuzztone :-)))))    That is about right. The 901's knock sound all over the place and their ability to image is close to zero. The Large Advent although not capable of the volume was a much better loudspeaker. It actually could cast a very creditable image. We set them up on stands (just slightly ahead of our time) I drove mine with a Marantz 7C preamp and a Fuzz Linear 700. In ways they were better than the Klipsch Heresys  I also owned at the time.

           Then: consuming MASS QUANTITIES of Intermodulation Distortion.

McIntosh + Bose 901?  What kind of power cables should I get for that?

🤣

                                        For BEST sound: NONE!

I know it is fashionable to bash Bose 901s, but in 1972 when my wife and I bought Series 1 901s and a McIntosh 2105 amp to drive them they sounded damned fine to us, college kids who loved to party.  We spent a little money my wife had inherited to buy our stereo and for that year our audio purchases exceeded our gross income. They were followed by Magnepans, electrostatics with 18" JBL subwoofers, DIY Dynaudio towers and now best of all my DIY Triamplified horns. One interesting thing about the Bose and Macs is that now half a century later they have required no repairs and they still play fine at my son’s house in his basement party room.
