Aarrghh! This will ruin my credibility... wait, I havn't got any credibility, cool.
I bought my first pair of 401's waayyy back in 1992 and they served me for many years, taking all that my old 190w (into 4) Technics amp could deal out to them. I sold them in 1998 and always missed them.
I'm a lot older now and have gone through a myriad of B&W, MA, AE, Elac speakers, but my memories of my old 401's were so fond, I bought another pair about a year ago to play with in my second system. Grand old 1994 models. I've ran them now on the end of NAD, Denon, MusFid and now CamAud and I have to say, I'm sorry for all the people out there who are so stuck up that they won't have a bar of Bose. The 401's were beautifully powerful, clear, ENTERTAINING speakers and in my home, still are (just have to sit a pair of nice heavy B&W's on them to stop the top wood panel from vibrating).
There - I'll never have credibility in the nut house now. So be it - freedom of speach!
