Bose 601 Series 1

Finally the Bose 601 Series 1 are finished, they have been done for about a week or a bit.

I picked this project up as I had a spare woofer from a previous Bose 301 project. This pair was purchased with a missing woofer.

A full re foam job was required on all 4 woofers, extra dampening material was added along with new banana plug connectors.

I left the crossover as is as Bose appeared to use a better quality metal polyester cap.

So how do they sound? Not bad, the bass from the two 8" woofers is nice and deep, the mid range is very smooth. The direct reflecting tweeters are not as detailed as newer dome tweeters but the reflection does add to the sound coming at you from all directions, which is pretty cool.

The 601's from what I gather are the best of the Bose series although the 901's have a cool retro look following but from what I understand do not sound as good.

Just arrived today, Sound Dynamics 10S and Bose 601 series 1

Not a bad Canada Day to start, on the way to pick up a pair of Bose 601 series 1, I stumbled across a pair of Sound Dynamics 10S made by API, the same guys who made the Energy 22's.

Both speakers are in need of serious re foaming and new caps in the Sound Dynamics, the Bose 601 was missing a woofer that I happen to have a spare of, that is why I took on the project.

Pictures will follow in the coming days.
