In Reply to: ToneAudio Magazine REVIEW on the BOSE 901's will be coming out this Saturday! posted by HiFiSoundGuy on March 16, 2012 at 17:30:58:
Bose-bashing is the one constant in the audiophile world. While I can't get into the direct-reflected concept, I think it's viable for people who aren't into imaging. By spreading the sound around at least you get a fuller off axis sound. I used to go to a rather large bar that had four 901s hanging from the ceiling, one in each corner, powered by a Dyna 400, and they pumped out Fleetwood Mac and the Allman Brothers quite nicely, with all the volume you could want. Not Quad ELS or LS3/5a or what have you when it comes to fine definition, but quite serviceable. I agree that the Bose corporation has a tendency to bully reviewers, which I deplore.
It's never too late to turn back the clock.
