The 901 had quite a run and quite the legend, love 'em or not, everyone knows them.
You have to wonder how long Klipsch will continue to offer the Heritage series. I suppose as long as it makes money for them.
I don't mean to hijack, but I can't think of any other speaker models that have had such a run through the decades like 901's or Heritage.

The Seas drivers are still available and but the company that sold them, Dynaco is gone. However a kit is still available from Madisound. That is a speaker that is something like 55 years old.
Vandersteen 2 series came out in the '70s and still in production. I can't think of too many others.

I called Bose and they told me that the 901's will be replaced with new reference floorstanding speakers in the near future.
I had the original 901s back in the day and just last year I bought the new series just to try them out. They were awful. I can't believe they sold that many pairs, I certainly didn't keep my second pair very long.
I kept My bought in 72? 901's only for a few weeks.
They were Absolutely Awfull speakers.
Stoopid expensive too.. Just to add Injury to Insult.
