More pics of the bedroom system... Now sporting my father's vintage Kenwood GE-770B graphic EQ (just for show, not in the signal chain) and my trusty Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2 amp for some real power to the 901 V's, a solid 300+ watts per channel.

My power went out just after 7pm the night of the storm. I just got power and cell service back a few hours ago. For over 48 hours, I had neither. On the bright side, there was no damage to the house. Just a bunch of fallen limbs everywhere. Also, one of my brothers came over to ride out the...

The eye of this storm is going to be coming right over my house, and it's now predicted hitting the coast as a Cat 4. We're supposed to see wind gusts as high as 100+ mph here in Winter Haven. I have to be honest, I'm quite worried about this one.

I'm just running one STA-9 to them right now, 120w x 2 @ 8 ohms. I can get the other one connected, run them bridged for 290w @ 8 ohms. I can also use my old Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2 amp which is rated for 250w x 2 @ 8 ohms, but actually measures at 312w x 2 @ 8 ohms.

Hi Randy! This is just a small system in the master bedroom. My main rig is still kickin' in the living room with vinyl and tape. I have to say though, after replacing the Bose EQ with the dbx Venu360, I was up until 1:30am listening to music knowing darn well I had to be up at 5am to go to...

Just replaced the stock Bose Series VI EQ for the 901s with my dbx DriveRack Venu360. Dialed in a quick and dirty rough version of the stock Series V EQ curve, and wow! What a drastic improvement over the stock Bose EQ with this literal 10 minute tuning via PEQ. I have barely scratched the...

Quite possibly the case.

It's odd that people say the top end is rolled off. To me, these 901's have plenty of top end. Granted, not that extreme top end sparkle like a really good dome or planar tweeter, but they're definitely not lacking treble by any means. I might have said it before, I have the EQ set flat, and...

Just threw in a JungSon JA-1 preamp. Quite the solid unit.

I know there's a lot of hate for Bose, that's nothing new. But for what they are and their intended purpose in this system, I like them just fine. As I said, they definitely aren't replacing my Maggies, but they're fun and enjoyable all the same.

Per Bose recommendations of having the 901s between 8 to 18" from the front wall, the bass was rather bloated and smeared. Once I moved them out further and further, ending up at 31", the bass is actually quite clear and detailed. Quite surprised honestly. The rest of the spectrum isn't too...

Please... No "HATE" comments. This is all just for fun, and it's just a second system to play around with. Drove 150 miles round trip yesterday to pick up something I've always wanted... Finally found a near mint pair at a extremely good price. Bose 901 Series V with Series VI EQ and tulip...

Changed things up a bit... Back to using a single NuPrime STA-9, a pair of Magnat Signature 503's, and a single HSU STF-2 subwoofer, getting its high-level signal from the amp. Oh, and of course, my 3rd Pangea Vulcan rack that I bought years back. Everything else remains the same.

No, you're good. I wasn't directing any of that towards you. I know what you were referring to.

For all of you showing anger and hatred towards me for using these cables... IF you read my posts, you would have known that I did NOT purchase these cables, one of my brothers did as an experiment in one of his systems. I am only using them because I don't have any extra power cables or ICs...
