[Vintage-Audio] Re Bose 901 And EQ

Bob, 	

	You think my James B. Lansing Century L-100 sound poor? Hmm. Pray tell, what do
you think sounds good?	

You are the first, and only, person in twenty-nine years who said that about the
Century L-100's. Even allowing for a difference in personal taste, tone deafness
and lack of music taste, your statement seems rather harsh. (Not that you are
tone deaf or have no musical taste)

Bose not only don't sound good without the equalizer, they sound 
terrible. Even with the equalizer they are very poor compared to most 
anything else..even your JBL 100s.
