khorn58 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I just tried using a bose 901 5 inch speaker for the khorn mid and high end. I tore off the mid horn and tweeter cabnet and hace mounted the 901 in a plastic klenex box the sound is unreal. Even my dog likes it he dosnt have to turn his head when listing like he did with the mid horn. Any way I have 5 klipsch wood mid horns and vintage t35 for sale or will trade for bose 901 raw 5" speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierceb Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 HA! I would buy your 5 wood mid horns and t35s, but last night I replaced my mid horns with a couple of old ceramic toilet bowls (using same K-55-V drivers). You think the 901 in a plastic kleenix box sound nice, you should try this mod. BTW - What day is it? -PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 "I tore off the mid horn and tweeter cabinet and have mounted the 901 in a plastic Kleenex box the sound is unreal." I agree 100% the sound of BOSE is unreal, unnatural, unpleasing and any other unflattering description you can think of. Why would you waste a Kleenex box like that?

D-MAN Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Tom, I would like it better (sound unheard!) if it said "ALTEC" on it! DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Tom, since I was blinded in a tragic construction accident involving White Castle hamburgers, I have had a very difficult time traversing the basement until I followed your advice, with a small twist. I mounted the Bose 901s on a rotating Leslie vibrato pedastal. Due to the pronounced Dopler effect, I am now able to navigate the basement with out crashing into the wine rack, or rupturing the water pipes any more. Unfortunately, I can no longer use the CD players(they are mounted too high,) and the tuner is programmed only to come on for Rush Limbaugh's show. The pain has reached such levels that I am obtaining opiates on the gray market from Canada, which is something Rush always used to complain about(sigh.) Buy American, huh?

sheltie dave Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Almost forgot, I have an unused treadmill that goes too fast for the wheelchair. How 'bout this straight up for two and a half K5Js? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 You know fellas, I was just looking at Bose 901s on Ebay. They seem to hold their value pretty well. I might just buy myself a pair of the real old ones; the ones with rolled cloth surrounds and the front that was mostly wood with a kind of a slot with grille-cloth offset to one side for the single forward-facing driver. I think they'd be cool to have. There are alot worse sounding speakers and for alot more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAKO Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hmmmmm I wonder if putting in series a bunch Bose speakers across the open slot of the throat in the bass bin of the Khorn would sound better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 It just so happens that I've got a box full of the Bose drivers on the floor of my living room. Do you want them FedUP or UPS? Just send me a PM for arrangements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently using them for surrounds. They're my dad's speakers, but I think I could convince him to sell them if you're actually interested (or are you being sarcastic? sometimes it's hard to tell). We've (me) been wanting to get a proper set of surrounds as mounting these suckers on the wall is rather annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNEtubaPLYR Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 wow, i'm just getting back into these forums, and times must have changed! Bose must be the number one enemy for klipsch fans, i still remember, "No highs, No Lows, Must be Bose", i wonder if that Bose flamming post from a year ago is still here?

TBrennan Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Tuba---I've always saved my contempt for pretentious, chinless "audiophiles" who pay $3000 for mini-speakers with $30 worth of drivers from the Madisound catalog. Bose never bothered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-MAN Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Remember to turn at least 15 or so of the the Bose 3-something-inch drivers around to face the wall for that classic "direct/reflecting" sound! DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I always liked the sound of the 701, and the 901 with a decent equalizer can kick some serious butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
