About this product
Product Information
Bose is known for being a leader in the audio industry, and this reputation is reflected in models like the Bose 901 Series VI Speaker System. The Bose 901 Direct/Reflecting Series VI speaker system blends direct and reflected audio to reproduce what can be heard in a spacious concert arena. The active equalizer helps to balance out frequency outputs so that you can enjoy a more concise, natural balance and tone. The Acoustic Matrix enclosure minimizes noise within the chamber so that you can hear low frequencies that are well defined and accurate.This iteration of Bose classic speaker systems boasts an internal structure Acoustic Matrix made of molded plastic. This allows the unit to churn out giant sound even with minimally powered amplifiers, receivers, and other accessories. It is flexible when it comes to handling a wide range of wattage. The cabinet and pedestals are compact and light enough to be easily moveable. This makes it easy to find the right location to take advantage of the sound range and fully engage these speakers' full power.These floor-standing speakers come in a pair and include an active equalizer that allows you to customize the sound before it goes to an amplifier. The Direct/Reflect structure makes the majority of the speakers' sound bounce off the rear of the cabinet and project stadium-quality sound by rebounding it around the walls. The speakers can be anchored to a shelf, wall-mounted, or placed on the floor atop the included stands. These black devices allow you plenty of options to match the aesthetic of any room space. With the right receiver, the nine small 4 1/2-inch drivers take the place of the usual standard woofer, mid-range, and tweeter. A single speaker can often be enough to produce the results that every audiophile is looking for. The design makes the Bose 901 series a great choice for listening to vintage records, DVDs, or home theater. This broad, space-wide resonance is called Stereo Everywhere. These speakers are designed to have a nominal power level of 10 watts but can handle up to 450 watts with the right wiring and setup. They look as powerful as their performance levels, measuring 21.1 inches high, 12.8 inches wide, 21 inches deep, and weighing in at 35 pounds.With the placement of these Bose speakers and other electronics and components of a surround sound system in the room, you can turn any space into an arena. These speakers allow you to hear how TV or music sounds are supposed to be experienced. A calling card of these speakers is the projection of booming bass and clarity of crisp treble. These aren't diminished when the room is crowded. It's helpful to have the experience of many years of use and the first-hand experience of thousands of stereo aficionados in choosing a speaker system that has served well. The Bose reputation for quality is upheld with the Series VI speaker system. It is excellent when used either as a component to a home theater system or for music alone.Product Identifiers

No highs, no lows, it must be Bose.
I haven't hooked them up yet. I'm using my B&W Studio Monitors at the moment. I have to repair the rear speak covers stays. Because I listen to music somewhere around 200 watts per channel, the rear covers blow off. No biggie. Been designing and building Professional Sound Systems 30 years in the Entertainment Industry so I am positive that I can improve the design and update it with present technology. I do love the Sound of 901's.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Bose 901 Series Equalizer
These old Bose speakers still sound good, but the hook up to modern equipment is greatly hindered by this required Equalizer and the end result is nothing special. I am going to dump the whole lot of it and move on.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Bose 901 review
I first heard these speakers in 1987 and was amazed at how they sounded. I finally 30 years later bought a pair of the series VI with eq. I am running these through my vintage yamaha 50 watt/channel receiver and a sound shaper eq, with the bose eq. These speakers are amazing. The highs, the mids, the lows all come to life as if your at the show. Only thing is to make sure that you place them properly. 80% of the sound comes out of the back of the speaker so place at least a foot and a half away from the wall. If you can place them in a corner even better with a foot and half away from all walls. Its as if you have surround sound and boy can these things crank. I'm looking into getting a marantz 2500 receiver that will pump 250 watts/channel and then I'm gonna be in Hi-Fi heaven. I would recommend these speakers to any hi-fi head. Love these speakers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I am very pleased with the quality, condition, and sound of the speakers. Great purchase!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best of The Best
Surely Bose speakers are still on the top 5 list. Particularly these Bose 901 Series VI, even though they were first introduced back in the 60s, their top notched performance and sound quality still are unbeatable. The only minor drawback is that you have to find an old schooler receiver which has the Main Amp In & Preamp Out features in order for the Bose Active Equalizer bringing out the best performance of the 901 capacity. Of course, you can hook them up with any 5.1, 7.2, 9.2 Receivers normally thru front speakers connectors via speaker wiring. But the sound quality is not as best as thru the Active Equalizer. In short, no speakers for the regular home use application can beat these Bose 901 Series VI.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
