Tweaked out Bose 901 series 6 mk 2

I kinda like his passion. The most prudent course on these forums is to lay back and not get too involved or upset over anything, which is right for most of us. But I love to have the couple of wild birds around to make the whole thing more interesting.

HFSG has done everything in his power to identify himself as a shill for Bose. He rants. He raves. He doesn't converse, debate or compare in any meaningful way. He just continues to flail. Does anyone take him seriously? Isn't he in violation of some policy?

... and not just for Bose...

He's gotta be in violation of something!

Seriously!

I just re-read some of his inane posts and it occurred to me that it is possible he is pulling all of our chains. He never rises to the bait of harsh rebuttals, just keeps on with his line. He always supports the most inane processes and products, the ones guaranteed to create an emotional response - Bose Wave and 901, concrete speaker cone treatment, clever little clocks, ceramic tiles in midrange enclosures:

and teflon tape mods, to name a few.

He may just be a brilliant jokester. Just maybe.

[I'd be curious to see where Bose makes their money these days. I'd bet it's more in headphones and auto sound installations.

At the prices his product sells for Amar must make the bulk of his money in home stereo and headphones!

An abiding side interest for years has been active car suspension.

On the positive side, apparently he pays his engineers and employees well.

I bet HFSG doesn't even have a system at all!

We've never seen a picture of his awesome system or room.

Seriously....

He appears not to have a digital camera, either, as he has complained of being up-load challenged.

sounding fishier all the time...

Yes it does. They've had 40 years and more money than anyone else to figure out what's wrong with it and fix it. If they haven't done it by now the odds are they never will.The only question is whether it's because they can't or because they don't want to. Last time I checked this speaker is only available from them by special order. They consider it a legacy product not of special importance to their current offerings.

BTW, their noise canceling headphones seem to work very well on airplanes. I also tried a pair of Philips and they weren't nearly as good. But they are expensive.

Jokester? You are probably right. Billiant? I don't see it. Thorough? Absolutely.

Have you seen the Latest post over on the avguide forum yet?

Jdmccall56, is a BOSE 901 owner and he points out that in "Live Music" there is not any "Pin-Point Imaging" and I will also add that "Live Music" is not "Accurate" also !

In the link you provided you state that two pairs of 901s stacked is a "real ear opener". Is this your new and improved tweak that will blow our socks off?

We need to stop feeding the troll.

A pair of stacked 901s is strictly amateur hour. If you're really serious about audio you will want the tried and true triple stack of 802 Series II + 901 Series IV + 901 Series VI. Then hold on to your socks.

What do listening to 901's, humping fat women and riding mopeds have in common?

I'll try... Uh they are all things hifisoundguy does on the weekend?
