Who knows about the Bose 901 speakers?

how is the sound? are they good for electronic musics, and what amp is good for them?

Hi. The Bose 901 Direct Reflecting Loudspeaker was released in 1968.by Dr. Amar Bose.who founded the Bose Corp.in 1964. He studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he became an Electrical Engineer.He also studied in the field of psychoacoustics.His loudspeaker design was the result of extensive research into how we interpret the sound we hear at a live event.He maintained that at a live event we hear more reflected sound than direct sound. This is the principal incorporated into the 901. The speaker enclosure is in the shape of a triangle.At the rear of the enclosure are eight 4 inch. full range drivers (four on each angle of the triangle) and one 4inch full range speaker on the front baffle. The original 901 was advertised as having unlimited power handling capacity.I have only heard it once in 1972 at the first HI FI Consumer Show in Australia. It was being demonstrated in one of the rooms of the Hotel where the Show was being held.It was driven by a Bose 500 watt per channel amplifier which had a special equalizer to extend the frequency range in the bass and treble region.The sound stage was enormous and sound was all around the room as the result of the 8 speakers in the rear of the enclosure facing the front wall of the room.It was a type of sound you either loved or hated.(enormous sound stage at the expense of pin point accuracy) As the years progressed the speaker had many alterations to improve its sound and dispersion pattern.and it has survived to day in the latest version the 901 series V11. So the bottom line is to listen first to see if you like the sound.
