    Do the series 6 BOSE 901s work well with the BOSE 550 receiver?

    Hi I’ve only heard of people using series 3 and 4 901s with this receiver. I imagine the only difference between the series is the equaliser settings. Also is this a good package to listen too. I’ve got the opportunity to buy one and have no equaliser with the 901s I saved from the scrap heap a...

    Bose 901 EQ light/power switch

    So I’m wrapping up my restoration of a Bose 901 Series I Equalizer, new caps and resistors throughout, and something strange happened. The neon light hasn’t worked since I got it, and I’ve yet to deal with a replacement. But yesterday when I (thought I) was finished and put it all back together...

    Bose 901 series V equalizer - anyone have a schematic?

    Hello, I have recently acquired some Bose 901 series V speakers, stands and equalizer. Sadly I didn't get a chance to test before I bought. The equalizer seems not to be working - when I depress the "monitor" switch, It does not seem to engage the equalizer circuit. I am trying to trouble...

    Bose 901 subwoofer?

    Hi all! You'll have to excuse me because I'm fairly new to this whole world, but I'm working on building a decent system. I recently found what I think is a Bose 901 subwoofer, but I can't find any resources on it. Did Bose in fact make a 901 sub?

    My Bose Receiver Stinks - Literally!

    Hi AK friends. I recently came across a Bose 551 Spatial Receiver and hooked it up to my 901 IV and within a few minutes there was an acrid smell coming from the unit. I looked it over very carefully and did not see any signs of cat or animal urine, it's very clean inside and out. Has anyone...

    In light of the Craig's list threads we see here, I thought I would post my most recent score on Kijiji Canada, so I searched dollars and sense, but didn't find any such thread. I decided to create a thread on the subject, and hopefully there will be lots of activity. Post your best online...

    Bose 901 IV Advice

    Wondering what you guys think: Looking to possibly replace my CV D7's with a pair of Bose 901 IV's that I found for sale. They are $200, cabinets are in great shape, he says they have new surrounds but do not have the EQ. They are about a 3 hour drive away. Might consider picking them up if he...

    Bose 901 distortion. Replace surrounds?

    I'm a newbie and have never repaired speakers before and know little about them. I'm looking to acquire and build a vintage system. I found some Bose 901 Series IV speakers at a garage sale. The foam surrounds are toast - some of them are completely gone, and I originally planned to replace...
