AK has been my go-to for advice for many years, but this is the first time I've not found an answer by searching. Big Yamaha/Bose nerd, and have an large assortment of investment-grade pre-1993 odds and ends ... but the question pertains to a rarely/barely-used entertainment system in the...

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...

Hello all, I post mostly in the Marantz forum as I have recapped about 20 Marantz units, but an old friend who seems to have more equipment than he can deal with has offered to give me a Bose 1801 power amp (250 watts per channel and 26 TO3 outputs!) that is in working condition. I have no...

hello Bose enthusiasts, Anyone who rebuilt the Xover could indicate if this makes sense to them ? Perhaps the Xover were modified, i have no way to know but am strating to suspect they might have been. But maybe not, might be a leaner version of the network. Eager to hear from anyone who has...

Good morning, I've always had a fondness for solid audio equipment and prized myself on being a step above what most people had, but when my AT LP-60 died I decided to start to really look into what I can do to build a nice sound system that isn't centered around my home theater system. It...

hi Guys, I want your thoughts on whether pairing the bose 1800 amplifier and Alon IV would be a wise idea or its a recipe for disaster. I have an Alon IV and i am being offered a bose 1800 for virtually nothing and looking at the specs of the Amp , i am wondering if its safe for the...

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...

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?

New to vintage. Starting with Sansui 7070 and, yes, love em I’d hate em Series II 901s. Glad to be here. Looking forward to learning more

Hello, first post from me. I hope I am in the correct area, sorry if not. I am trying to repair a Bose Wave Audio system for an elderly neighbour. It was bought new in 2010. There is no model number just the above title on the operating Manual. I have the serial number if it is useful to any...

I have a Bose 901 series 3 active equalizer that has a crackle in the left channel.The unit has been recapped, and all transistors in the left channel outside of one 2n3906 have been replaced. I swapped the 2n3906 with the identical transistor from the right channel (which does not produce this...

CL posting in Atlanta (no affiliation): https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/ele/d/austell-bose-original-901-series-ii/7001812136.html According to the add these are underpriced at $1250.

I just pulled out a pair of Bose 401’s... yes I know and admit I have kept a set of Bose speakers since the 70’s. Anyway, I haven’t used these since 2013 or 2014. I hooked these to a Marantz MR 1170..... yes I know (dark years) but these two systems put a BIG smile on my face once I cranked them...

I was wondering what the community thought about 401's for $100. I'm not expecting a whole lot but I need something decent until I can get to refurbishing my favs. I have not owned any Bose product in my 59 years on this planet Always thought they were overpriced, but I'm just a cheap bastard...

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. They are excellent sounding and just the deep bass I remember when I was a kid. But I notice that when there is a...

I’d love to get your thoughts and recommendations as I am working on putting together a new system basically from scratch. A little info for you. I have been around music for a long time working with a number of bands and concert venues. I have always gravitated towards a warmer sound (I...

I have a few questions regarding Bose 901 IV and a Technics SU- V4K stereo integratesd amplifier. I was gifted these items from my father. They have been stored in a cool dry basement for quite some time. The amplifier has what appears to be a crackly input selector switch. Sometimes it doesn’t...

local guy selling these old Bose speakers. He says they work, has no other photos and says they’re loud. Anyone know the model? Thanks so much!

For Christmas I'm putting together a starter audio setup as a gift for my sister-in-law. I've already picked up a 65wpc Yamaha RX-700U that's very clean and sounds really nice. I'm having difficulty deciding whether I should include a pair of B&W 601s2 or Bose 301 series IV. Now please hear me...

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...

Hey people, I recently came across a pair of bose 901 series 2 for £145 without the grills, stands or active equaliser. Are they worth buying? I desire some more novel speakers, under £200. Regards, jimmy

my uncle gave me a pair of Bose 901 continental series speakers with equalizer in white. Can’t find anything on web as to whether this is a rare set or not. Any Bose owners out there?

Person claims they're Bose, but I can't find anything like these online. Says they don't have a model number. Described as having 15" woofer

I have recently acquired some new gear that I have been wanting to upgrade to for a few years now. I have been more than happy with my current setup, but when you want it, you want it. However, this many amps and a whole bunch of speakers are in front of me and I don't want to ruin some nice...

Hi all. New member . Do you guys think I need a sub if I have large speakers? My speakers are KLH with 15s in them and pyle super tweeters I added with 30 oz magnets. And bose 301 series 3 My reciver is a jvc rx 884v (110 wpc rms) hooked up with a toslink optical cable to my ps3 super slim. It...
