My Bose 901s were an entree into "high-end" audiophilia 25 years ago. They were supposed to simulate the reflected sound you'd hear in a concert hall. I have, on occasion actually turned them around (with the 8 speakers facing forward) for a more focused sound. Now, my critical listening is through five Mackie 824s and an lfm-1.

Re: Using the 901s for surround. I think you might have some difficulty wiring the things since the dedicated equalizer must be used with 'em. It would be interesting to hear how things go with your proposal.
