No--I would say they're not taken seriously because they sound utterly
****.

Gotta love the "older technology" bit! I can think of older designs I
like better.

If one affixed a giant cardboard cone to the front face of an ESL 63
901-like sound might result.

How about a complete cardboard front cover with an asymmetrically
placed 5" hole?

Bose states that the 901-VI was engineered by passionate music lovers.
This
fact is so highly obvious once you give the speaker a listen in an
appropriate setup

Nonsense

[and the Bose Store may very well not be the best!]. It
seems like no other speaker system delivers powerful accuracy quite like
this one!

Nonsense

However I have to say that this thread must be commercially
generated......who else would bother to write such a diatribe??

Not saying this is the reason, but I remember these from years ago.

I recognize these sorts of posts. You've spent thousands of dollars on
fine expensive speaker wires, esocterically engineered speakers, the
"right driver", the right "name" on the front of the cabinet etc. You
have no choice now, either admit to years of being wrong or steadfastly
standing your ground in the face of the science, popularity and audio
technology Bose puts before you.

I find it hard to believe that you think you can convince anyone with
your wordy posts when listening is the only criterion. Those who have
listened have made their choices. Mine is not the 901. Yours is.

As long as you enjoy the music. Cheers!

Is that an end to this?

Imagination has been good to me, but on this occasion I think I prefer
not to imagine.

To avoid being a laughingstock, I suggest you emphasize that the above is
your own opinion.

Virtually no one would agree with you, and the impression you made on the
stereo salesman was completely in your own mind.

When these speakers were originally designed, little was known of modern
acoustic theory, which firmly established that bouncing 89% of the sound off
the room walls may be intended to be a beneficial effect, but is actually a
severe degradation.

The 901's do not conform to modern theory or practice, and are notably
inferior to practically any modern speaker sold at more than a moderate
price point.

You're welcome. Now, to listen to speakers that put the 901's to same.
