bose 801 speakers

hey roxy, i'm not an audiophile. i don't know too much about good equipment. i bought my equipment back in the early 70's. i only knew the run of the mill names, not the one's i read here on audio gon forum. only reason i have that mc602 is because my son gave it to me.

you have a great son !!!!!!!!!

A great son indeed. There are so many excellent used speakers on this site for modest cost, and that amp would get the most out of any speaker. Start a thread asking for speaker suggestions in your chosen price range. 

hi roxy, since i'm retired and on a fixed income i don't really have funds to purchase any other speakers. i still have my bose 901 series 2 and with all that power i'm sattisfied with their sound. like i said before i don't know what i'm missing if i never heard it. my son doe's have some klipsh speakers that maybe one day he will give them to me but he lives in hawaii now!

A pair of 901s, set up properly ( hung from the ceiling ), with a solid and smooth back wall, with excellent gear feeding them ( such as the Mac the OP uses, and good interconnects to and from the EQ ), will surprise many listeners. Their presentation can be fine tuned for the listener based on the distance selected to the back wall they reflect off of. Under 2K, they can be enjoyable. I sold many and installed many ( owned a few sets myself )........During a Bose presentation at a N.Y. hotel back in the day, I was part of a test by the Bose sales staff. We took a heavy duty 12 gauge extension cord, connected the open leads ( cut off the female plug ) to the terminals of a 901 ( if I remember, the series 2 ), and plugged the other end into an electrical outlet where the crown amp was plugged into, and showed how indestructible the speaker was. Of course, no crossover, but still.........quite impressive. Thanks for reading. Enjoy ! MrD.
