[net.audio] Bose 301s?

CSvax:cak (12/02/82)

I have the opportunity to buy a pair of Bose 301 speakers for $75
(cabinets slightly marred, but sound OK -- or so I'm told). I haven't
gone speaker listening for a long time, since I haven't had bucks,
but this seems to be too good to pass up. I'm thinking of using
them for dorm/small apartment listening, and was wondering if anyone
could think of good reasons for me NOT to pick them up. (examples --
crummy sound, power hog, etc.)

PLEASE don't followup. Just use that wonderful r- command.

Thanks,

The Bose 301's for $75 each is a bargan. They will get LOUD and will
take quite a bit of power. They are, however, essentially an
extended midrange type cabinet. You may wish to add some high
quality tweeters to suppliment their high end response and a center
channel sub-woofer for the low end. There are lots of speakers I
would prefer over the 301's but in a small room and for the price
you can't do too bad.
