Hi everyone just like to introduce myself.I am 59 years old and am disabled so i am lucky enough to have lots of time to listen to music,but not much spare cash to upgrade my system.I like pretty much all styles of music but not so keen on classical.
My system consists of Thorens TD150 turntable,cambridge audio 651p phono pre amp,Musical fidelity Elektra E624 cd player,Musical fidelity Elektra E11 integrated amp,JEC 7500 Dac (i think this is a beresford model),Musical fidelity x10D,Bose 901 speakers.

Hi Greg and welcome to AoS. The nearest I've ever come to Bose 901's was a pair of the "trumpet" stands I picked up years ago in a second-hand shop - now long since gone, loved the 70's look of them. Hope you enjoy the forum. :)

Yes they are very retro great party speakers would like a set of standmounts for more critical low volume listening,

Hi Greg,

It's neither, the body is a modified Westfield, the rest was designed and built by me with help from my two sons, oh and 3 rivets by my wife.

It's powered by a 2 litre Zetec blueprinted by me.

Good fun

Gary

Welcome to AOS Greg,

I remember in the 70's/80's there being adverts in the hifi press for the Bose 901 with the number turned upside down, so that it said 106. With a little dB stuck on the end. To illustrate the sound levels you could obtain :)

[festy]

They do go very loud
