Hey Frank, what do u think of the 901's.. I read a couple of reviews abt bose first spk, most of them say that it lacks bass, i wonder why... i personally heard them once actually and i thought they are far from good sounding spks, given the fact abt their over and much hype...
whats ur opinion, since u seem to have good knowledge abt sound...

Shane,

As to sound quality, 901s are fine. I wouldn't say they lack bass. I'd say they're just not very involving. There's reasonable clarity and space but then you'd expect that considering the design. We'll just have to see I guess.

The problem is I have seen/heard so much hype about 'forthcoming models' from so many manufacturers and then been disappointed at the results that I find it quite difficult to get excited about anything until I've heard it or it's been out and about and had some good (independant) press.

Regards,
Frank.

I've asked you this before, but must ask again; If the speakers are pushing out 500 watts, what's the amplifier doing?

Uback, I've never seen a Bose advert on TV! Here in the UK, Bose doesn't have the market presence or market share that it has over the pond.

Regards,
Frank.

Stu Pitt,
Since the speakers are now pushing it to 500watts, you no longer have to buy that expensive amp. Just plug the speakers into the pre-amp, then buy a second set of speakers that can use the watts put out by the first set of speakers. You should be good at that point.

So instead of you circuit running:
preamp - amp - speaker
preamp - speaker 1 - speaker 2

I warn you though make sure that speaker 2 is compatible with the "watts" put out by speaker 1 or you will have trouble.

The commercials are legendary here.

Boy, don't they? Their latest ones have supposed "experts" singing the praises. Wonder how much they got paid for that? reputation...paycheck...reputation...paycheck...tough choice

In the proper context, the 901's will likely make a lot of people happy.
They may be here or not, who's to say?

What's up with the Watts issue? He said "pushing it". Presumably that mean power handling capability. Speakers dissipate power, partly as sound and mostly as heat. What's wrong with that?

If I bridged the Classe amps to provide 500 watts of power, the 901's would be rendered into a shrunken, smoldering pile of refuse.

If I cranked up an Onkyo receiver, the same result, maybe the receiver, too.

Nuck,
I'm betting that Bose considers your statement of bridging a classe (or similar caliber amp) to produce 500 watts. I doubt very much that anyone with that caliber amp would be pushing bose speakers (901's or other)
Furthermore whats the chance of someone having 500 watts at their disposal (again someone purchasing the 901's are probably not going to have this kind of power).
Also consider if you were using 500 watts, that would cause the speakers to be pretty loud, and chances are that you wouldn't be in the room anyhow.
