Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: The Bose 901 uses 1 ohm speakers in series to provide a nominal 8 ohm impedance.

For all the time/bandwidth/energy that has been expended slagging Bose in general, and the 901 in specific, that is probably a little known fact.

You won't find too many other cone & coil drivers that are 1 Ohm.

Doesn't it seem like an outstanding challenge to rewire a pair of 901s in parallel & hook them up to those few amplifiers that are advertised as being stable into a "dead short??"

If I had the time, I'd sure be inclined to try it, just for grins! :)
