The 901s were unusual in that they had no crossover and many (10?) small drivers, including some that radiated rear. The equalizer tweaked the response to compensate for this. Properly placed 901s produce some unbelievable imaging and a sound that makes you wonder about how it could be possible!

those eq's are desirable? :saywhat: i had a chance to pick one up at a resale shop for 2 bucks but decided against it because it looked a little cruddy.

You shoulda got it. Someone out there would have easily taken it off your hands. Hell, I'd double your money at $4.

It's a shame that so many of the 901's are separated from their EQ. The speaker really is not all that good without it.

And for the record, the 901 contains 9 drivers. 8 rear-facing reflecting drivers and a single forward-facing direct driver.

The series II units are, in my opinion, the best ones made. Later versions have a little more bass extension, thanks to the porting, but the series II have much better midrange response (none of the hand-over-mouth effect the later versions suffer from).

$250 is a fair price for them in that condition, and with the EQ and original stands.

For sale is a pair of Bose 901 Series VI Direct/Reflecting speakers including the original equalizer that came with the system. I have owned these speakers since new. They are in near perfect shape, with no scratches or marks anywhere and the tags are still on. They sound awesome! The wood is Black. The speakers have NEVER been in storage and have always been in a smoke free environment.I recently moved into a small condo and got married so guess whats got to go!

Great price if all is functional. As with the Series-I, surrounds won't need to be to fixed.
