I have heard 901's in three different setups in three different homes. All where different in sound due mostly to poor setup of two of the systems. The third one I heard the guy took the time and set them up according to the manual and had enough power to push them properly. That setup with the Bose 901's was what really got my attention on how good they were when setup properly. Not can Bose 901 play all music well, I would say most of it but what I heard them really excel at were smooth Jazz, Big Band, and orchestra/classical music. They sound really nice.

People would say the same thing about the Carver Amazing, no bass and didn't sound good. but when I asked how they set them up, it was how "They thought they should be" and according to the Craver setup guide. When the Carver were setup properly, they has very good deep bass, not boomy like a box speaker but more defined. Today, these are the best sounding speakers I had in my system, so good that they made me sell my Vandersteen 3A's

My cousin gave me a pair of BOSE 901 Series II with the matching EQ. These are supposed to be the best sounding of the bunch. I heard them at his house and even though he didn't have them setup properly (Not Even close) they sound pretty good in his room.
