    Bose 301 II Surround Replacement Fail

    I had a pair of these in my stored basement for past 20 years that I bought in 1983 and got them out. Of course they needed surround replacements and I ordered them and put them on and all seem to go well. Hooked them up and one of the woofers is not operating correctly. If I put pressure on it...

    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?

    Hello all, new to the forum as I just picked up a pair of Bose 601 Series II speakers and I am curious about the odd way that the highs jump and get buried depending on the music.
