Hello - I inherited some Bose 901 speakers. I have the EQ but am a bit confused on how to hook these things up and hoping to get some advice.

Ultimately I want to mostly play audio from my phone via Bluetooth/ streaming. A bit of context and info on other audio gear I have: I have a number of Sonos speakers around the house. I have a SONOS AMP I could use with these if it works. Or, if it is better, I could use this old Kenwood 103AR Receiver I have laying around too. I bought a cheap bluetooth module off Amazon.

Doing a bit of research on the sub-reddit it seems people don’t necessarily love these things. But, and advice on setting these up and which cable to connect where would be appreciated.

    A off topic question:

    What were the differences between the 901’s and the Panaray 802’s? I knew a friend who had two pairs of 802’s that he used to DJ with. He said they needed a ton of power to drive them, and was more of a PA type speaker, which only played well with other speakers like highs (rows of tweeters); and lows (large folding horns). He also said that he had to replace the speakers from time to time as well. Did the 901’s have problems and individual speakers need to be replaced often? I would think that the older versions had to be re-done.
