For all you Bose 901 Haters!

Back in the mid-80's, I had two pair of Bose 901 series IV's in my 10x12 college dorm room (one in each corner).  driven by 4 Carver M-500 amplifiers (bridged to mono).  no imaging, but gobs of sound!  the Drom parties were epic.  :)   great memories.  2022, B&W 802d in one room and Magnepan 1.7i's in another.  been through too many iterations to count.  it's been a wonderful journey through the years.  thanks for the post that brought it all back!  Cheers.

901 memories! 1978 my bedroom was a matchbook. I hung them from the ceiling and connected to a Hafler DH500. Zeppelin 2, drove my parents and neighbors nuts! 

 Well I owned them in the 70s bought them used 901s Series 2 for $350 and when properly set up they were excellent. I hear fatiguing No,I listened to Rock,Jazz and Classical. They always sounded Great...even with DISCO,lol.I had a Sony Str 7065 which put out 70 watts and it was plenty of power to drive  them...There are still people here who are POWER crazy... I now use a Caryin 50th tubes 20 wpc.and drive Polk lsim707 and every body saids you need over 350 wpc to drive them.....Smoke another joint or relax on the Zantac. I have all kinds of SS power Amps...my all different manufacturers..and I don't know but the tubes amps are killer.im 70 and been buying audio equipment since the late 60s.

Magnepan’s don’t image well either 

Wow !

All the haters can just KMBCA then. Added GRS Planar Magnetics front and back with miniDSP EQ’s for the room. Two ICE Power ASW-1000’s (@4ohms)

Stacked Baby !
