     Although I strongly believe that no normal person can hear the differ-
 ence between the two sampling techniques, I could never use BOSE speakers
 for any serious testing of other audio equipment. 
     They are notorious for IM distortion, and low bass distortion. They
 lack imaging quality which would be essential if looking for high freq-
 uency phase distortion from sharp cutoff filters. BOSE 901's are essen-
 tially a "gimmic" speaker that I would not even rank with other HI FI
 equipment.
