Bose

Bose’s contribution to this directory includes the vintage 901 loudspeaker. These older designs appear in rooms that assemble their systems from several generations of hi-fi.

Design & approach

Bose traces its origins to Amar Bose and the company’s founding in 1964. Its public history emphasizes research and experimentation in how people experience sound. The older equipment listed in this directory belongs to that wider history; current products on the company website should not be mistaken for the vintage units installed in a particular room.

Inside the system

A Reloop RP7000MK2 turntable and Taula 4MR mixer sit alongside a collection of vintage amplification: Harman Kardon HK430, Tandberg TR2060 and Luxman L435. Loudspeaker options include Polk RTA12C, Bose 901 Series 2 and JBL L110. The equipment represents several possible playback combinations. Each speaker family has a different layout and operating requirement, so the collection is best understood as a roster of components rather than one permanently connected chain.
