Wow Revox B77 Open Reel. Talk about a blast from the past! Even the Revox bouncy bouncy with linear tracking arm. Whatever happened to SAE and there quasi parametric EQs?

I beleive SAE was purchased by TEAC sometime in the 80's and died soon afterwards. :)

The last time I saw those SAE stuff being sold was at Reference Audio back in the late 80s to early 90s. :) You guys remember this store at MCS and Virra Mall :?: :)

SAE stuff reminds me of the cockpit of a Jumbo Jet. :) Puro ilaw. :D

Sadly, REVOX has gone to the dark side, the A/V side.

AHA!

Did Bose ever publish impedance characteristics and sensitivity for the 901?

Will MSM be able to give the MINIMUM requirement?

Abangan!!!!!!

while this is a '901' thread, allow me to share my first 'hi-fi' set up which consisted of :

Bose 301 (bnew)
Sansui integrated amp (2nd hand)
Sansui 2-head tape deck ( -do- )
Sony CD player

i put this together '89-'90. got the Sansuis for P5k and the Bose for a whopping P13k which i borrowed from my (now ex-)wife, who also owned the CD player.

was very proud of my rig then, i thought the 301s had smooth sound and great bass (a lot of it mid-bass pala as i would realize later). soundstage? depth? never heard of 'em then.

my tastes evolved when i got to work abroad and was gradually exposed to other brands and audiophiles.

i eventually sold the bose for half the purchase price & the sansuis for a song in the early 90s.

looking back, imho there were a lot of worse speakers, but Bose was among the most overpriced brands.

make no mistake, though, the Bose brand continues to have a strong following in our shores.

cheers to msm for keeping the Bose flame alive! (pasensya na, don't know how to change color/font kaya the brand is not properly emphasized)

Di ko talaga alam specs niyan. :oops: The BOSE 901 is sort of "Faith". You can't explain it basta yan na yan. :D

During my high school days, we would hook up the speaker from wimpy receivers to huge power amps, OK pa rin tumunog - Direct Reflecting magic. :twisted:

Just curious are the series seven drivers still prone to the PULBOSIS effects?

I must have missed this earlier reference to your "first experience" in audiophile sound.
Was your carpool mate's Dad named Johnny Diaz by any chance?
