As much as I enjoyed Dick Pierce's review, I must dissagree slightly.
I owned 901s and thoroughly enjoyed them when playing rock at painful
levels and generally showing off for friends in college.  Amar Bose 
performed a service for the hi-fi industry!  He raised the level of
hype to astronomical heights and exploded any sense of belief in the
audio magazines' truthfulness.  Before Bose we could only sit around 
and compare ARs and KLHs and put down JBLs and generally listen to
and complain about Angel classical recordings.  Now we have TECHNIPHILES!
We have the NET!  Wheres the fun of listening to music when we can 
passionately rail at each others physics theories!  
As an aside, I have my own favorite Bose story.  I once had a blind date
with a freshly minted Bose sales-person who spent the evening describing
the godlike features of Amar (she had TOUCHED him) and swore that if Amar
said that 75% distortion was good for us then we should JUST BELIEVE.  I
really think Bose is now living in Oregon, wearing a beard, and red robes.

For the record and seriously, Bose speakers are garbage at a high price.
