Bose 901...Series VII???

[dougy]

I just noticed Bose has the 901 discounted $150/pr. on their website, plus no-interest financing. So...the thought just crossed my pitifully small mind; "Are they finally going to update the 901 to series 7 status after all these years...or perhaps pull the plug all together?

just sittin here wundrin...

[dkg999]

Once you own a pair you will realize it wasn't worth wondering about ;)

I think the ones I bought out of curiosity were either series III or IV. If you like listening to only 60% of the sound of your music, by all means, buy them.

[heiney9]

Sadly they should have discontinued them after the Series I.

I suppose for $150/pr you can't really go "wrong" but I'd prefer a used pair of Monitor 7's or 5's over any gen 901 for that price, but that's just me.

Considering what products Bose now offers as well as their marketing plan, I'd say speakers like the 901 are done!

They are being discounted by $150. Their asking price is still $1200; and for that price, you could get a lot of speaker elsewhere.

OH!!!! HELL NO. $1200 for a pair of Bose 901's!! Hell No

[zingo]

Ah, the best post I've seen all day...

[dkg999]

After I went to the Bose website to get the link, I had to delete all my internet history. I just felt dirty all over :(

[zingo]

One of the biggest laughs I've had in a while was going into the Bo$e store with a friend and talking to one of the sales reps. It's just cute what comes out of their mouths.

[madmax]

I still remember going back and forth. A used pair of 1.2's or a BRAND NEW SET OF BOSE! I gave it serious thought for a week. I sure am glad I went with 1.2's. (had no idea what SDA sounded like).
madmax

[dougy]

Actually, I too owned 901's in the dark days of early audiophilehood; Series IV's as I recall. I do have fond memories of the way they could rock the house. Not very good for getting into the music, though. I ended up selling them and going back to my big Advents.

I was looking at them again, because I have contracted what has become my annual bout of speaker disfunctional-itus. I love my Mo-Fi's, BUT...well you know the rest of the story.:(

[zingo]

I almost bought a pair once on the cheap to use as DJ monitors. That would be about the best use for them anyway...

[dkg999]

Friends don't let friends buy Bose!

The Bose 801 commercial monitors were a good party speaker, I had a pair of those when I was doing sound systems for parties in college. I sold them and went to JBL commercial speakers as the Bose kept blowing drivers once I went to Crown amps.

Large Advents - many fond memories of those.

[Rivrrat]

I listened to their top of the ln HT system at Comp USA when they were going in the toilet.

My wife came over to see what I was doing, made a negative comment on the sound quality, and asked me how much. When I told her she started laughing.

I'm sure it wasn't set up properly, But as we say at work, you can't polish a turd.

[RuSsMaN]

901's are worth a listen. They can take tons of power and play plenty loud - and with the eq, and some spirits flowing, they aren't half bad for rocking the house. Other offerings, not so much, but the 901 has it's place secured in audio history - love it or hate it.

Hell, Polk was even asked to copy it back in the day. Where do you think the Monitor 9 came from?

Cheers,
Russ

I somewhat agree about the place in audio history, etc. But the price they ask for new 901's is simply a rip off. There is no excuse to spend that kind of coin on a new pair of 901's.

H9

[TroyD]

I agree, I wouldn't spend the coin. That said, I've heard them and I don't think they sound awful. I mean for non-critical, full the house sound, I think they aren't bad.

Same thing with the Bose cubes, I don't think they sound awful. Just awful expensive for what you get.

BDT

[George Grand]

Why fill the house with expensive "average" sound, when you can accomplish the same thing with a $15 pair of Pioneer CS-88 or 99's? Plus, the cabinetry is to die for.

ding ... ding .... ding .......... we have a winner :D

[steveinaz]

The series VI was a big improvement over pervious series' both with the EQ, and getting rid of the tunnel/echo sound earlier 901's suffered from. In a large room with BIG amplifiers they can sound pretty damn good--they definitely cure digititis...

[c_corie]

Does anyone know of anyother speaker that costs less and is similar in design or is a least bipole-like. I think for casual listening I'd like a speaker that really makes things sound bigger, more spacious. I was looking at some Definitives but they're getting into tbat higher price range, and I'm sure they're better, but they're also quite a bit just to experiement wth that sort of speaker. Does anyone make a cheaper speaker with some sort of rear speaker/tweeter to add space and depth?


Maybe the best bet is older/cheap 901s?

[dkg999]

Magnepan MMG's.

[c_corie]

I actually heard the bigger versions of those at a dealer in CT, and i was not that impressed, they sounded....thin, no pun intended. Not just thin but i guess hard and almost harsh sound in the high mids. Not bad speakers, I guess I'm just looking for a more tradional? bipole.

[Flash21]

I sold audio (many) years ago...we had the Bose line...lotta people came in asking about 'em, but they almost always walked out with something else after comparative listening.

We had a saying: "No highs, no lows, must be Bose"

Mirage uses reflective sound as well...

[sucks2beme]

Or Polk's parent company Def Tech for bipolars.

[themuskr]

just got the mirage nanosat set. They are very nice. look cool, sound great. Looks are "cool" like bose, but they have the sound to back it up:D

[beardog03]

I had the 901 series IV back when that series first came out

Losta mids but no low....highs were there, but..

I enjoyed them for a month or so, the traded them for some speaks that really blew me away...

Don`t remeber the brand, but they were pyramid shaped and had crystal (?) tweets
that looked like small vents, (like the chevrons on a Sgt`s armband)....

Those two (and a pair of yammie-haha) are the only non-polk speaks that I have ever owned..

I used a Dual TT with them that I really wish I still had today

[only126db]

I had the Series III or IV, they sucked....

Sold them and UPS destroyed one, so I had one smashed one, one good one and a messed up eq.

They went in the trash...

[madmax]

I have a pair of series 5. They have that awesome bose sound. Anyone want to buy them?? :)
madmax

[skrol]

I thought that it was just me not being fond of the 901. Back in the day, I preferred the sound of the 601 over the 901. I have been impressed with some of the Bose design features (ie. waveguides, labyrinths, and the use small drivers). In the practical world, some work better than others in spite of the complexity and design effort.

[Hilbert]

My brother tells a story of his time in the army in Korea: a buddy was blasting four 901s on the roof of the barracks, and interfered so badly with a general's retirement ceremony being held a block away, that MPs came to the barracks and forced the guy to turn the music down. Or maybe off.

After such an inspiring testimonial how can anyone continue to criticize Bose?

How many RTi A9s would it take to achieve the same result? ;)

[skrol]

So what you are saying is that they are worth buying just to annoy the neighbors. OK.

[Hilbert]

Actually I was joking.

Furthermore it wasn't "the neighbors" who were annoyed, it was a General. Well worth annoying.

[sucks2beme]

The same could be done with a cheap quad of Cerwin Vegas.
If you're looking for loud on a budget, thats the way to go.

Bose are Bose. I heard both JBL 100's and 901's with better quality gear.
The JBLs were better. The JBLs 100's aren't all that great after
spending time with better speakers. The 601's were better than 901's
in my opinion, too. They were all better than those nasty Sansui
or other cheap Japanese speakers that haunted most barracks at the time.
Just loud and cheap. Welcome to the 70's. 30+ years later, we still
have Bose hanging around.

[skrol]

Sansui! A friend of mine has a set a long time back. I think they had a 21" woofer or something insane like that.

[Hilbert]

The aforementioned bro' returned from Korea with a couple of Sansuis the size of suitcases. He still listens to the radio through them, one aimed at the bathroom and the other at the rest of the house. Stereo imaging is not high on the agenda. For 30 year old speakers purchased in a PX 12,000 miles away, they're not bad.

Although, of course, they're not Bose either...:)

[dougy]

I turned this thread up as I was searching for info about a rumoured 901 Series VII from Bose. Funny reading it now in light of the fact that the Mo-Fi's I had when I started this thread were replaced by Klipsch LS2's, the LS2's were replaced by Energy RC50's, which were repalced by Polk LSi9's, which were replaced by RBH MC6CT's, which I do still have. They are in a secondary system. My main 2-channel rig's speakers are...yup, you guessed it: Bose 901 Series VI! And have been for well over a year now, with no plans to change. (That Series VII thing would be tempting though, if they come to pass.)

The 901's have come and stayed because they simply sound better than anything I've ever had in the room they're in. And that includes klipschorns and B&W 703's. They sound like music, not like hi-fi.

[leftwinger57]

back in the day when the series 1s were paired up to a Marantz receiver ,that was the stereo match for that time. As most of you guys know placement of those things is uber critical and people would drill holes in them and hang them from their ceilings.That's the good memory of those speakers. They were and always will be overpriced and after time there are way to many drivers to replace after rot out.

Your opinion is the one that matters, Dougy..
I too have a set of VI's, in storage. stands, equalizer, great condition. I thought they sounded fine. I can take it up to richter level 8..it seemed like.
I now use rtiA9's ...IMO they sound way different like apples and oranges..\
I don't want to play a loud levels, I want to hear the definition, clarity...etc etc ad nauseum..

For what its worth, I doubt Bose is going to do anything with the 901's.
They have been milking the cashcow that is the 901's for decades.

Bose has gone whole hog into the HT arena with a large assortment of small plastic sht boxes with assorted subwoofers.. So sad..:smile:

[maximillian]

But, but, but the reviews on Amazon say they are great:

http://www.amazon.com/Bose-Direct-Reflecting-Speaker-System/dp/B0006B5V6G

:biggrin:

I have a relatively new friend who works for Bose. Fortunately we have not had a conversation about audio yet. Here's to hoping it's just a workplace for him.

[styx]

I found a mint pair of 901's IV @ a yardsale for $35 a several years ago. I traded them a few years later for a set fo Klipsch RF-3's. I think having the right room and placement is critical for 901's, which I had neither.

[DON73]

I was able to snatch up my first pair of ADS L710s from a young college lad who needed the money to help with the purchase of 901s.:biggrin::biggrin:



Back in the 70s Sansui speakers at least gave you a lot of hardware for your money.

[thuffman03]

I had a set of 901's and never could get them to sound good. The only good thing was I was able to sell them for more than I paid for them.

[Slyder01]

Sansui! A friend of mine has a set a long time back. I think they had a 21" woofer or something insane like that.

Yea sansui!! I did a job for a lady and took 50 bucks off for some sansuis.. I put them in my garage cause we use to party in there all the time. My sister in law had them cranked one night and one of them literally bursted into flames! We grabbed it off the shelf and you guessed it,, doused it with beer,,lol... We then proceeded to finish it off with a sledge hammer and then i took the woofer and ran over it with my truck,, Luckily we were in the garage at the time or it would have burned it down.. aaahhhhh,, the good-ole days

[Tombr]

I think when properly powered and placed the 901 S6 is one of the better bargins out there. If you buy a pair more than 12 years old have the EQ serviced or you may experience the missing highs syndrome. 20+ years old, bass may also suffer . Make sure your amp has a tape monitor loop to hook up the EQ. Or another way to feed it in the circuit. Your much better off running these with a good 50 to75 WPC integrated amp then a home theater receiver. They need current more than wattage do to the EQ's demand on the amp to produce bass. I have used an Arcam Alpha 8 (50WPC 8 ohms) in a large 29 X 15 room with very good results. I was very surprised this modest amp could drive these so well. I have them on 28" Sanus stands that are sand filled & screwed in.. Much better than the Bose stands. Place 901's 6 to 8 ft apart, 14" - 16" from a hard wall and they shine. If you have a couch or chair in between put sliders under the couch feet so you can easily move it for serious listening.
On a side note in this room I have had Polk SDA SRS, Ohm Walsh 5, Kef XQ30 Boston A200, RBH1044se Theil 1.2 + A FEW MORE and I prefer the Bose to all mentioned..

I actually ran the 201s on my DIY (not by me) Angela/JE Labs SE 2A3 amp... and they sounded surprisingly good. MR was excellent, no kidding around. The 301s were/are even better; arguably the best sounding Bose product.

Speaking of the (commercial) 801 (EDIT: make that 800)...

I have to agree with Russ, for what they were, you could do a lot worse. No one with any sense would pay what they're asking for the new series, but plenty of nice used ones out there, if they need a refoam...RUN unless you like punishment :tongue:, then put on some assless chaps and get your gluegun nice and hot...

I wouldn't get mad if someone gifted me a nice pair, they can be fun in the right room with the right tunes and the right beverages :wink:

[Joe08867]

I have heard a few different 901 series speakers. The early ones are much better imho.

I am actually a fan of the 701's myself. Not the Series ii but the originals.

Joe,

I had Series I 701 towers for 8 years. They certainly did have bass but I didn't like there lack of mid-range.

[Joe08867]

I didn't have that issue but the room I had them in was pretty lively. The side firing Mids are one the weird parts about them for sure.

I did like the Bass output. It wasn't as one note as most of the other Bose stuff is.

[Drenis]

I had heard that the decision to redesign the 701's to their series II design like the 601's was due to customers complaining of too much bass from the original series.

I've heard 901 VI & 701 I together and they blended nicely as the 901's picked up all the mid-range and bass that the 701's couldn't reproduce. Still though... Wish I had heard them on an actual amp back then.

[arun1963]

the 901+sub is fairly decent

[steveinaz]

The 901 VI setup I had for years (2 bridged soundcraftsmen amps for 600watts/rms) needed no sub whatsoever. You need a lot of amp, and a lot of room; and careful placement to capitalize on their strengths. The EQ is best run off of a loop circuit, rather than between the pre and amp---this makes a BIG difference. Most people who feel they "suck" obviously have not heard them in the right environment. While they are not "mind-boggling" or revolutionary, they can be quite a thrill with rock and jazz.

Having said all that, I bought my series VI for $799, stands/EQ included during a big PX sale in Germany. I sold them 14 years later for $700. Not too shabby---and yeah, I'll say it...sometimes I miss those pups.

Pretty cheap for a high-end speaker is the 901. Price some Harbeth, Wilson Audio and Sonus-Faber speakers some time.

[steveinaz]

They're pretty darn cool with rock; spectacular? Nah...just different, and they have their niche audience---much like SDA. For someone to say 901's lack "midrange"...huh? You need your ears replaced, quickly. If nothing else, 901's got midrange. That comment just has zero credibility for anyone that isn't legally deaf. I owned my pair for 14 years, I'm pretty certain I know what they sound like. I wasn't running them on a 25 watt receiver. The EQ was connected into a line level ext processor loop on my preamp, then out to 2 bridged PM840 Soundcraftsmen amps (600watts/rms 1200watt peaks). They were about 10' apart, 9" off the rear wall from the rear 901 apex of the cabinet, on Bose stands. EQ was set flat.

I'd sip the hateraide with those who partake, but I have to admit I liked them. Never knew what "digititus" was until I bought conventional "monkey coffins." Just sayin.

There's a member here named "Gidrah" he's an old Army buddy of mine (I affectionately referred to him as "ski") anywho---back in 1990 I invited a bunch of troops over for Thanksgiving dinner, and ski got a listen to my 901's, of course that setup was terrible--a very small house (like 900 square feet, 3 bedroom small), with a very small livingroom; I still got the impression ski was impressed--even in that god awful listening environment. In Germany I had HUGE living room, and they really impressed in that environment.

Ski...you out there man? I need backup...LOL

[steveinaz]

Fast forward to 2011, my assessment of the 901 VI would be:

PROS:
Very listenable, no-fatiguing
Make barely acceptable CD's sound acceptable
Large soundstage
Meaty midrange, visceral/tactile bass
"Live" feel to them

CONS:
Smearing of the soundstage--not much image specificity
Treble only extends to about 13kHz, so not much air/extension
Can sound a bit "hooty" if not in the right environment/setup properly
Require proper surfaces for reflecting sound from rear drivers
Need a lot of power to really strut their stuff--and not very efficient

This is not a speaker you sit an sip wine to, while listening to delicate music--nor classical, unless it's BIG orchestra/complex kind of stuff. This is a pop/rock, progressive jazz speaker. Low level listening can make them sound "distant" almost echoey (is that a word?), give them a little more gas and they move the music forward to the front baffle plane appropriately.

[madmax]

I remembered their sound from way back and when I got a pair I decided I wasn't into them at all any more.

[steveinaz]

Now that my components have gone thru numerous upgrades, I'd love to hear a set of VI's on my system just to satisfy an old itch.

I'm into test tones and the stuff in between the channels on tv.

[sucks2beme]

The trouble is our judgement of the speaker is much like that girl we
used to know in High School. It's maybe not all we thought it was.
I went down this path, and while some of it sounded pretty decent
for our budgets back then, a look at the local CL shows a lot of better
speakers out there for the same or less. Ok for a second system perhaps,
but not the prime rig.

[madmax]

Now that my components have gone thru numerous upgrades, I'd love to hear a set of VI's on my system just to satisfy an old itch.

Thats what I did, don't waste your money. :wink:

I compared to SDA's and other speakers using top notch components and they pretty much sucked no matter what I connected to them.

I like my 901's. I also like my 10B's, my Kef Reference, Mission, Dali and Dahlquist speakers. A lot of you who rip Bose for no highs, no lows have lost your highs and lows. Part of the aging process. The results of a hearing test may surprise you. The older I get, the more I like the 901's, particularly since they do mid so well. Funny, Bose puts a driver on the rear=bad. Definitive Texhnology, Snell, Revel, etc=good??
