RE: Magnepan, Ohm Walsh or Bose 901 (vIV or V)?

I think if you know a few people who might own these speakers would be great for you to help make your decision. First off, these are all different designs and technologies.

Amar Bose (MIT grad student) despite all of the bashinge here; was one of the first speaker designers who went out to live venues to measure live sound and recreate this sound with carefully designed systems to allow listeners to get the same excitement as a live event. That is why 1000 watts were the max with their first iteration of 901s', so that people can drive them loud. His speakers were a break through back then and so was his methodology of musical recreation.

Mangneplaners were developed on electrostatic technology and was made for the home musical environment. These speakers set the standard for absolute mid range clarity and lifelike recreation of music. They were not compared to live music as Bose was and therefore any comparative analysis of these two speakers should be in how they would play live albums versus recorded non-live musical recording and see how they measure up to your needs.

I like all of the technologies involved and think you you should think about how to balance the price versus your musical requirements.
