PRODUCT BOSE901 Series VI Speaker System
SummaryFirst things first... I am not
impressed. First thing I noticed. They sound
like any speaker you ever heard. I listened for
reflective imagery and clarity. I didn't hear
any. The TV that I turned down in order to play
up the Bose sounded better. NO LIE. What a
disappointment. I have wanted BOSE speakers for
17 years. They don't even sound good. I must have
been BRAIN WASHED. StrengthsThey look cool and
interesting. Most of your friends will be
Impressed. Childhood fantasy come
true Weaknessesthey look weird. most of your
friends will be impressed... until you turn them
on. Weak Imagery, Dull sound, Weak Bass Call
these Speakers Radio Shack and there would be no
debate. Similar Products UsedNothing I know

PRODUCT BOSE901 Series VI Speaker System
Summary Now that I am older and have a decent
listening room in my home, I decided to purchase
a set of 901 series VI. I don't know if it is my
age, but these speakers sound truly amazing. I
have them in a room that will work with them.
There is no other speaker I have heard in my
lifetime that sounds more real. Every note of
every instrument is heard. And whoever it was
that said they don't work well with home theater,
you are wrong! You have to take care on how you
install them as they require the EQ to sound
right. I have known for many years what the 901
could deliver, but never had the ability to
utilize it. I am just glad that within my
lifetime I have had the privilege to own and
listen to these great speakers in my own home. It
is not for me to tell anyone what they like to
hear in a speaker, but if you say the Bose 901
does not sound awesome when used correctly I
would say your listening with your oversized
wallet and ego, not your ears. Show me any other
speaker that has been around that long! There has
to be a reason they have withstood the test of
time that no other speaker has been able to
do!!! Strengths
Weaknesses NONE! stereo separation power
handling overall sound quality
