I hope this is the right place to post this. It's less about Bose than YT, or maybe even audio in general. I've never been a Bose fan. Never liked 901's. But I'm about to score a pair of 901 Series IV's, with the active EQ, and a Bose Spatial Control Receiver, as part of a larger package deal. It'll be a few weeks before I actually take possession, so I thought I'd peruse some YouTube vid's of 901's to remind myself what they're all about.
OMG! Poor old Bose! The best of the vid's have them, sorta set up properly, but recorded with the mono mic built in to someone's cellphone. Complete with the sound altering as people walk around the speakers. The worst of the vid's have them sitting on the floor, or pointing into corners, or both. Many have both of those conditions and have them turned around backwards. Many without the active EQ. Some have them stacked and backwards. All have them recorded with the cellphone mic.
Poor old Bose. Can't get an even shake. When I get mine, I'm going to try to make a really good vid/recording. Complete with decent mics and preamps and the works. Anyway . . . as I said: Poor old Bose. (And I don't even like them.)
