I have Bose 901 Series VI, the basic design is 50 years old, it was
pretty good for its time, modern recording technique is quite different
to what was being done in the 50-60-70
The Speaker can play very loud, it can do so for 12 Hours at a time
the drivers are 1 Ohm Impedance each, you can hear the music
everywhere
in the house and on the road, needs 250 W RMS dedicated Power
amp minimum, needs to be kept 19-20 inch from Back wall, 2.5 feet from
side wall, low frequency tone is not good, the Equaliser components of
series VI spoil the sound before it gets to the speakers, can sound very
good if matched to the right room, if it is not matched to the room can
sound unsatisfactory, needs a big room, with every thing right, it still
lacks transparency and detail but sounds quite OK if not compared to
other better and cheaper products, but there are lots of current speaker
designs that sounds worse than 901 also, these were the speakers
that made Bose famous, the early version uses 8 Ohm Philips Drivers and
is the best, the present version VI does not have foam rot problem
of Version 3 and 4, mine are 20 plus years and are from Chennai
best to get a pair, place it in the room you intend to use it in and
see if the room and speaker interaction happen for the best
the room speaker interaction is very critical in 901, if they match it can be
very nice, best place to fix is hanging from the ceiling, two feet down
two feet from rear wall, 3 feet from side wall
All the best with your adventure, I had my adventure but my room is
ultimately not meant for 901
