Allowing myself a little chuckle here about the Bose. Don't be taken in good buddy! This is one of those occassions where it's good to be old, because you were actually there.
901s were indeed different back in the late 60s, as stereo was king but speaker technology was not what it is now. Even then, the Bose weren't considered "high end" i.e. an attempt at high "fidelity". They were designed to give a spacious sound, which they did, as advertised. But they didn't really sound like "liv" music, then or now. They also made most music recordings sound the same, and slightly indistinct. Transparency was not their strong suit. I listened to them at the time, as I was a teen searching for my first real stereo system. I passed. I was in love with ARs and others.
If open, spacious and transparent is your goal (we'll leave out the clarity for now), you can do much much better with some of the other speakers mentioned here, which will be much truer to the music.
Be wary of Bose apologists.
