Saw this ad for a 1966 pre-901 omnidirectional speaker
Follow Ups:
I love the claim of "class A 100 watt" amplifier inside.
I think someone confused 100 watts of input power from the wall socket, for 100 watts of output power to the drivers. Nobody cares what it draws from the wall socket.
"Class A" is similarly debatable.
That amp impressed me the most of this early Bose speaker.
Picture of the conductor at his Gravesano studio in the late 1950s.

These appear to be an attempt at an omni-directional speaker while the Leslie effect is dependent on a rotating, very narrow dispersion horn.
They appear to be polar opposites (just to squeeze an appropriate pun in here).

Yes, it rotated both horizontal and vertical axes.
Bose and Karlson
Is that really Stanley Clarkes vintage rig?
...reminds me of a movie I saw as a kid in called Donovan's
Brain.
Excellent! Maybe as evil too.........

It was an attempt at simulating the pulsating sphere. There are 2 speakers in the picture, each 1/8 of a sphere and the idea was you could put them in the middle of a wall together as in the picture or you could separate them and put them in two corners of the room giving more bass and, obviously, different stereo stage.
Heard these at a New York audio show when they were announced, under the sponsorship of Saul Marantz, iirc. They didn't impress.
