Does anyone else have or remember the Bose 901 speakers.

Was told when I bought them 30 years ago they were the only speakers I would ever have to buy.

So far they are/were correct.

This goes to the vinyl vs digital.

The modulation factor is amplified on good speakers.

I never had any but I remember them well. Stood atop a stand as I recall.

Remember them well. Frat brother had a set. They blasted music every day, and most nights for years. Could not wear them out.

I am also a fan of Boston Acoustics Tower speakers (along with a solid subwoofer). Have a pair of old ones that are still kicking *** today.

Yep, had a pair. Great speakers.

I bought a Gateway desktop in 2000 that came with two BA satellites and a subwoofer and that is still one of the best sounding set-ups I own. The speakers long outlasted the desktop and I still have them to this day

Still got mine

Bought them in the late 80s. Last year built shelves with spaces just for em.

Have mine on a wall shelf-designed for the speaker (setting on a foam base-vibration purposes but the Bose don't vibrate much) for years.

There may be something better but I don't need it.
Were expensive in 1987 ($1000) which was real money then but was probably the best money I have ever spend. (Except my engagement ring)

Might I ask why you "had" a pair?

 

[msstatelp1]

Didn't have 901s but had a system with 501s. Great sound either way.

Refoaming speakers is pretty easy. I had a co-worker tell me he had a pair that were dry rotted and I could have them. I intended to swap out my Infinity bookshelves for them. I still would if that dude would follow through. Apparently they are in storage and he doesn't feel like digging them out. Been waiting on them almost ten years. That bastard...

 

[Muttley]

Had a set of 901's that I bought in 1980. Got kicked out of many apartments because of them (among other things).

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Damaged in a move. Actually I think they may be still sitting in my garage under piles of my ex wife’s ‘mementos’.That’s a gripe for another day....

For some reason,

Bose has gotten a bad rap on here, recently.

I've never had anything but positive experiences with my purchases from them.

I've got some 301 bookshelf speakers that I've had for nearly a decade, and they rip.

Also, I recently purchased the Revolve Bluetooth and it is pretty awesome.

I had Boston Acoustics as well, the successor to Advent speakers. They're in storage, need to put them back in service. Prob have to refoam the cones.
