I'm sure I dont qualify to be called an expert on any of this, but I do like to listen to the music - all kinds, really, as well as trying different (mostly vintage) speakers, receivers, etc. I also like to keep things on a budget, which means - most of my electronics usually come from CL, Thrift stores, etc. Slowly I have managed to put together a couple of small systems that I'm pretty happy with.

They are connected to my Pioneer SX-780, and I also have Pioneer SG-9500 EQ and Pioneer PL-400 TT hooked up to it. Before I had some bookshelf speakers connected to this set up - Pioneer BS-22's and they sounded pretty well overall. Now I have these new to me Bose 401's in place on BS-22's. They (Bose) sure are a different animal. Sound is different, not as clearly bright as with the Pioneers. And one thing I noticed, - when Bose speakers are positioned as recommended in a manual - sound was OK, but something was missing. I checked the wires - all were plugged in as they should. Then I started playing with the positioning of the speakers. So I started experimenting with that. I guess, it hugely depends on any given room's acoustics - as to how speakers will sound. I suppose this applies even more so with the Bose's reflective design. And this was apparent pretty much immediately. However, what was funny is that they sounded much better with the side with a one woofer and tweeter pointed to the back wall. (Usually ported side should face the back wall).I guess, the whole idea of reflectivity of the sound actually works. Sound got better, by a good amount. Yet, interestingly enough, they sounded better in some parts of the room but not others. So, I started tweaking orientation of the speakers - which way they would point. Each adjustment would bring somewhat different results - some better, some worse. Yet the best results I got when I broke all the rules - one speaker I left pointed tweeter side to the back wall, yet the other - tweeter pointed towards the other speaker. When you look at them this way - looks odd - but they do sound very good now - sound seem to have a very good stereo effect, nice clean sound, good soundstage - all reflected off the walls. Low end, of course, is not as deep as my JBL speakers with 12 inch woofers, I have with my other system, but otherwise - very good sound.http://drddvichitra.com/userfiles/bosch-manual-for-washing-machine.xml I'm actually rather surprised - as I read lots of unfavorable reviews of Bose speakers. I tried this setup with different types of music - from Ohio Players to Led Zeppelin to Coltrane. All sound very pleasant. Just took a while to find just the right orientation, thinking outside of the box, so to speak. Makes me wonder if this is why people often dont like Bose - maybe they didnt take time to set them up for the best sound. Thoughts?I have them to complement a pair tower speakers that have fifteen inch woofers and adjustable crossovers. The combination of direct and reflective sound in the same space is quite the experience. So many traditionalists just wish to put one speaker on each side of a rack of equipment and angle the speakers a bit and think that's the best there is. I found out also that angling a Bose speaker towards the wall and towards the opposite part of the room instead of directly towards where a person sits while listening creates a fuller sound stage. Then when using all four speakers the music just has more personality, depth and perception of detail.It is also a PITA to figure out how they sound best.I think I'm beginning to see what Bose concept is all about. These speakers can go very loud and hold their own too. Another plus - as sound travels from room to room - I have more of an open floor house design - from other rooms they sound very good as well. Seems like some experimenting is paying off!It is also a PITA to figure out how they sound best. Click to expand.

I keep trying different speakers but they just work better than any I've tried so far. One thing to note is the screws on the speakers themselves seem to want to loosen up over time. Double check them often. And they used some of the cheapest caps in the crossover I've sever seen. Well worth it to recap that crossover if you like them already. If you want them to really shine add a cheap sub to each one to take the load off the bottom and they get quite pleasant to listen to. Enjoy!It may be a good idea to do a recap, but I am pretty new to all this and have no idea what and how to do such a thing, so I think I'll leave it alone for now. I did check the speaker screws and they were just fine.www.kidnuri.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1626bc5ad3f90d---96-f150-repair-manual.pdf Also, I noticed that they really show off if recording is poor or LP is worn out. On some brand new albums I have, - sound was crazy good, while ones that are well used - sounded clearly more muffled. This resembles my JBLs in that respect. One thing I can tell so far for sure - these are NOT terrible speakers as some people on the net claim that BOSE are. And they are definitely fun to play around with. AS many speakers ( as I read about them) - seem to be better for some things more than others. Its very hard or even impossible to find a speaker that id best for every type of music. Seems that Bose has it's own place in that world, which I guess, works for some but not the others. Maybe one day I will work up enough nerve to do some mods to them, but for now - I think they are just fine as-is.I have heard great speakers sound terrible one situation and wonderful as they were meant to be in another environment. Rob Speakers that sound horrible in a generic average room are speakers that have severe design flaws. Speakers that make ludicrous placement demands are speakers with serious design flaws. Bose and Klipsch are chief among those in my book. I like dipole speakers a LOT, and they are certainly demanding in how they're placed, but some concepts are just lousy. Small Bose speakers aren't horrible if you want to feel out what dipole speakers can do, but if you really want to experience the concept executed well you need to hear some MartinLogans, Maggie's, Quads, or ESS AMT's. And that jazz Bose says about recreating the live listening experience is just a bunch of crap. Go listen to some live stuff on a pair of Focal Aria or better and you'll realize real damn fast all the sonic information to convey the depth of a live performance can be convincingly replicated by a conventional monopolar 6 sided box.

Yes there was an absence of 'high' technical knowledge (no insult to the OP or to people with high tech audio knowledge) but the all basics were right and he was putting together a system with love and attention was what I gravitated too. You are right, a well resolved speaker will sound amazing in just about any environment, but this thread was not about any of that - it was one man, one day and his caring pursuit for a better audio experience and that was enough for me to be hooked to the story - regardless of mine, yours or anyone else's technical knowledge. Is what you posted accurate - yes. Is any of that important - yes, just not in this instance necessarily within the context of this thread. My response to you is genuinely not intended to be disrespectful. Are there better speakers than Bose yep sure, are there worse yep sure - where we really diverge, I read the OP and relished the human experience, you read the original post and my comments as shortcomings in a knowledge base. On a separate discussion, regarding speaker ownership, I hear what you are saying in your post and just wanted to comment or reaffirm that not all of us here on AK have the same audio goals. I read your post and it did give a small but never the less a wonderful insight into your preferred audio experience - and I mean that sincerely. Me personally, I treat speaker purchasing like I do a box of chocolates - I wanna get me a taste of everything. One speaker vs many, both approaches have there merits and disadvantages. I want to buy a set of Bose 901's, I want to live with them, immerse myself in their sound, make personal comparisons against my other speakers. I want to know and understand them for myself and not rely on opinion as my perspective. Many will say life is to short to be wasted like that, give me the best of the best (whatever that means to them). Who knows, one day I might get sick of this journey and switch paths but for time being I am enjoying the view on this path. I will get my dream speaker or speakers one day - they might even be a pair of 901's Rob Edit: I wanted to add before anyone replies - I know Toolguy mean't no insult - was just being informative.As I said earlier, I'm pretty new to all this. Just recently I decided to put together a vintage system and as I'm doing it - I learn many things in a process. This site is where I get lots of info about things. But I also like to experiment with things and form my own opinions. Most of my stuff comes from the garage sales, CL, Ebay, etc. So, speaking of these Bose speakers - I realize, of course, that they are far from the best speakers out there. Plus base on many online comments I was even very skeptical about these, to the point I almost walked away. Yet since I was buying many other things at that garage sale - overall cost ended up being very reasonable, so I decided to give them a try. And I'm glad I did. I really like the looks of them - thats what really got my attention to begin with. And I do enjoy tinkering with them - position them differently - see how that affects the sound. I have never had a speaker that interesting, so for me it's a lot of fun. Would I like to try those. Getting back on track here - these 401's are very eye opening experience to me. I never expected for them to sound so good ( to my ears) and to me it seems that the more I play them, the better they sound. I have JBL CF 120 speakers for my other system (I know - not even close to the TOTL), but they have very different sound and character, so having these Bose is even more fun as it gives me very different experiences in listening. Another thing - my amps and receivers are not all that powerful, so speakers I get can only be the type that would go well with lower powered amps. From what I read about some other speakers listed above - I'd have to upgrade my entire system, not just the speakers - something I have no desire or budget at this time. So, these Bose keep my ears happy, sound good for my taste and I dont have to spend too much money this way. And based on my so far limited time with them - most of the music that I like sounds good through Bose with a setup I have. WIll I change things one day - possibly, but these 401s will keep me busy for a while, I think. Just played Nightwish LP though them - sounds very nice too. So did Stevie Wonder - these speakers seem to work well for many types of music.It was an outside party that my friend was having. He had them things cranked all night and they handled every note. I brought Black Sabbath's We Sold Our Soul CD and those poor speakers I thought were gonna vibrate to death. Took out the Sabbath and put in something else and all was right. Tough, good sounding speakers considering the circumstances.Since these have rather small woofers, I thought that was the reason. But then I thought I'd take them out and see whats inside. Turns out, these speakers were packed pretty tight with polyfill. I'm not sure if this is how they were made at Bose, or previous owner did that, but for a ported speaker it seemed a bit too much. Wow! What a difference - even smoother and cleaner sound, tighter low end and improved mids. At least to my ear. I dont think I would take all of the polyfill out, but the way I re-arranged it seems to work very well. Need to do more testing, but I'm liking this change. What do you guys think about having polyfill in ported speakers and in this type of speakers in particular?Best evocation of live jazz played in a nightclub I've ever heard.As I said before - when I opened them, they were pretty stuffed with it. I'm thinking that previous owner did that. Because - as I take out more and more of it - these Bose sound better and better. By now I took out about half of the amount of polyfill that I found in them and they sound even more musical, overall cleaner sound and low end improved, they seem to go lower and bass is tighter. As if they were suffocating before and now they opened up a good deal. However, I think I'll keep some polyfill in them, I'm afraid if I take all of it out they may not have enough low end - after all they only have small woofers in them. But for now - I'm very surprised how nice they sound. I had them hooked up next to JBL S38s (which is pretty well respected speaker) and they sound very similar. So I think some of these older Bose speakers, based on my experience so far, were actually very nice - well made with great sound. Makes me wonder why so many people dont like Bose. Maybe later they declined in quality, but at least my 401s sound very nice with all sorts of different music. I played some Al Di Meola and sound was very rich and full and detailed. Same with Dire Straits and Queen. So, I'd say if anyone comes across Bose 401s - it's worth giving them a try. Just may need to play with positioning them. I suppose different amps may make some difference too. But with my vintage Pioneer they work very well.I find on some ported boxes it seems to help if you can find a magic point and stick to it. And it can be a lot of fun to experiment. Mine didn't have a lot in them and since I got them same as new it may be someone was playing with yours. But like I say I use them as surrounds so don't really expect much from them. The reason I say as new is because I got them on a deal from a buyout of a store that went out of business. I've heard or lived about all of these from the 901's, 701's, 601's and 501's. The only one I could live with was the 901's but didn't have the room or right amp at the time. Plus the 401's just seem like Bose got something right in this one. Not the best speaker but certainly a fun one to play with. I'm glad you're enjoying yours as too many pass them off just because they say Bose on them.And I think it helps too. Based on my experience it does change the sound of the speaker. Now I think I either found that magic point or I am pretty close to it as far as the amount of polyfill goes. As I have said before - positioning of each speaker makes a very noticeable difference - I think more so than regular speakers. And you are right - it is fun to play with this.

You are the light of the world. They can do the job but if you are worried about quality and durability I recommend upgrading your preferred audio cable. The unit is always on, there is no way to turn the device off and the device does not come with a remote.Not BT related, for those that use Amazon Echo, I found that I had no drops of the BT when using 5 ghz Wifi for the Echo. When Using 2.4 ghz with the Echo I would get audio drop out from time to time. Overall I really like this BT adapter and would recommend it to anyone needing a BT receiver.I initially tried a much cheaper brand of Bluetooth receiver to use with my older Bose Wave Radio, and found that it kept dropping out (irritating random muting) even though my music source devices were only about five feet away from the receiver. I finally gave in and bought the Bose Bluetooth adapter, and it's been a day-and-night difference. With the Bose box in place, II can walk around with my phone or computer while playing music and never lose the connection as long as I'm a reasonable distance away. My experience with the Bose Bluetooth Adapter is what Bluetooth is supposed to be all about: true wireless connectivity without having to maintain perfect line of sight or remembering not to inadvertently move my arm between the two devices. Well worth the extra money in my case.I would recommend that product instead.

Using it in my 2011 Honda Accord which came fully loaded with bluetooth phone but not bluetooth audio. Starts when the car starts as it is powered by the 12V port in the centre console.
