![]() That is when I dropped about $700 on the best Deer Creek modern substitute EQ for these with BlueTooth and digital in and a remote and so on. So I was using an original Bose 901 Series 1 EQ. 901s sound like 901s, especially the early ones from the 1960s and 70s. But basically the 901 Series 1 and 2 have such a strong scharteristic sound that they are not much changed by all this fooling around. ![]() Again, all of this made no difference other than the weaker amp could not get as loud and sounded a bit sweeter. Drove them with 250 watts and even combined 4 speakers to get a 4 Ohm load to a 12 watt class a tube amp. Then I tried swapping out a few of the Bose drivers for others with the same specs. Bought a bunch of parts and built two Bose 901 speakers from Series 1 and 2 parts which are pretty much the same. So I thought I would see where it all began. Other than that they sound accurate and detailed. They are a bit full and warm in the upper bass. And I do not hear any of the mess others complain about like weak bass, distorted highs and muddled mids. Anyway, the Bose 901 Series 6 are OK by me. And I have several high end custom designed speakers. And I have well over $100,000 in over 250 sets of speakers. But, honestly, are among the most enjoyable speakers I have. But, in fact, they compared well with my Design Acoustics D-12, Theil CS3.5 and other classic, well designed yet quirky loudspeakers. Anyway, I was surprised how much I liked them having heard a lot of trash. about a year back I bought a set of Bose 901 Series 6.
