Written on: 20/10/2010

Bought a pair really really cheap at an auction in Durban and expected a lot of them,however after connecting them to my amps (krell) i was very disappointed with the sound.
They sound like the speaker in your telephone but i guess that's no surprise since the 901,s don't have woofers nor tweeters and need an equalizer to work.
They don't even come close to hifi. (read more)

Written on: 08/10/2010

The BOSE 901s are probably generate more polarised reviews than any other hifi speaker ever made.

Written on: 27/02/2009

The Bose 901s are a strange loudspeaker indeed. They were first introduced in 1968, changing very little since then. They need to be hung from chains on the ceiling in order to sound best. It takes quite a bit of work to get them to sound right, but anything worth doing is worth the work. You need large amps to dive these speakers, as they are still very inefficient (not much has changed since 1968), and 200+ watts RMS is about the minimum for best results. The sound can be described as '... (read more)

Excellent sound, paired up with a power amp >300 WTS RMS, you will have the sound you are looking for...
Excellent stereo speakers worth every rupee spent... well recommend the Bose 901 stereo speakers. Needs good placement.. but then if you pay the bucks fer good music you should go the extra mile understanding concepts. (read more)
