Bose 301 series 2

[goraman]

I was just given a free pair of Bose 301 seris 2 speakers.
Perfact condition, 9 out of 10 condition (1980's vinage)

They where bought new,placed 7 feet up on a shelf hooked up and never touched,accept once to repaint the room and put back in the same place with no damage.

As some here may know,I'm not a Bose guy.But these things are so nice I just couldn't let them go to a goodwill or dump.

I thought about replaceing the 8 inch driver with something more efficiant and crossing them to a planer tweeter,to make use of the fantastic cabnet.

Any ideas?

I have yet to find a thing out of place.Not a single blemish.
The tweeters are all working perfactly,no foam rot at all.

Anyone know the specs on these?

Hi Jeff
I'll PM you the handbook

Thanks Andre,
How is it Bose specs = 8 ohms,10 to 75 watts.
Thats it.Only Bose could get away with those kinds of specs.

Hi Jeff,Why not use them as they are?I think they used similar to these in the pub I used to visit in the eighties always thought they could pump out a good tune.

Yah,Dave it wouldn't make much sence to make Franken speakers out of them.
There not going to be a good match for my 20watt per channel triode amp though.

They look in realy good condition, if you don't want them, i'm sure they wood fetch a good price on eBay, all Bose stuff seems to go for a good price on eBay, it must be the Badge.
