My account is several years old, but I think a formal introduction is well past due.
My name is Patrick, and I'm a bit of a Bose nerd, which I understand is polarizing. A guy I used to work with summed it up best, saying "People either think Bose 901's are the best things ever, or they're a pox on humanity".
Either way, I've DIY refoamed the drivers and refinished the cabinets on two pairs of 901 Series IV speakers, which are driven using an Adcom GFA-555 from a Proton 1100 preamplifier.
I've created zones in other rooms using JBL Control 1 and 5 speaker pairs, also DIY refoamed, driven using an Adcom GFA-535 from the same preamp, but through an Onkyo EQ-35.
For sources I currently use my PC, an array of Apple devices, or an Onkyo TA-2044 single-well cassette deck, silver-faced, from 1984. Compliments the black-faced Onkyo EQ well. No CD or DVD sources on this system as of yet.
Aside from my 'main' stereo, I've added to my collection a Bose Acoustic Wave CS-2010. I think that means they took the original cassette-based Acoustic Wave radio and added auto reverse, and a few other subtle changes. I believe it to be from the early 90's, but don't know how to tell for sure. I bought a Wave radio for my wife as a gift this past Christmas.
A couple of days ago I scored a pair of 901 Series II, and a single Series V speaker. Always wanted a pair of Series V, not sure what I want to do with the II's, but the two pairs of IV's are enough for now, so I'll take my time.
