Review 1 of 261

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
This is one of the best speakers on the market. (for it's price) It is incredible what these speakers can do. The trick is knowing how to calibrate and position the speakers properly. A nice amp. will also be helpful. Accoustic is amazing. Overall, very nice sounding speakers for music lovers.

Strengths:
strong accoustics

Weaknesses:
must be proper position and proper calibration
but once you get it right, it's amazing

Similar Products Used:
jbl, AR, mission, mirage

Review 3 of 261

Price Paid:  $690.00 from Tape Town employee a

Summary:
Bose 901 Series IV Direct Reflection Loudspeaker. Perhaps the most successful, and prolific loudspeaker design ever produced.
The 901 represents the career work of Dr Amar G. Bose Phd and contains some of the most innovative and clever out of the box thinking of any product of its type ever manufactured, presently available today.
The 40 year commercial success of the 901 Direct Reflecting concept speaks for itself as Bose remains today, one of the most respected, successful and universally recognized Icons in audio.

Strengths:
Nicely balanced high freq extention, midrange performance of the 901 is superior to 99% of the current so called "High End" market. The low frequency performance of the 901 is jaw dropping for a speaker so small.
The 901 can be used with amplifiers generating as little as 20 watts RMS or as large as 450 watts RMS
This speaker is small for the amount of accoustic energy it is capable of producing and the power its intended to absorb. Dynamic range is more than 106 db.
The Bose 802 is a commercial cousin of the 901 and is widely used in club venues for PA, instrument and voice reproduction. Another excellent product as well.

Weaknesses:
DEMANDS that ONLY the Bose 901 Active Equalizer be utilized and CORRECTLY input into system for playback.
Room placement and distance from the wall might be a negative for some.

Similar Products Used:
Bose 802 III w/ bass modules
Bose factory automotive systems
Bose headphones

Review 4 of 261

Price Paid:  $1400.00 from online

Summary:
Don't waste your money on these speakers. There are tons of other great speakers like Klipsch, PSB, etc in the same price range that will blow these away.

IF IT HAS NO HIGHS AND NO LOWS IT MUST BE BOSE.

Strengths:
Looks, Customer Service, warranty

Weaknesses:
sound quality, Bose still uses paper cone drivers.

Similar Products Used:
Klipsch.
