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.

    that guy literally talks about “upgrading” speaker cable from 1 brands 16ga to another brands 16ga making a difference in the sound quality. so i would take that entire article, and anything he ever has to say about anything, as pure nonsense.

    “Stepping up the cable quality from standard Radio Shack 16-gauge wire also pays dividends in upper-midrange clarity and high-frequency extension—both priorities. Swapping the 16-gauge wire for a $199 pair of AudioQuest Rocket 33 speaker cables, and the supplied RCA patch cords for two pairs of $39 AudioQuest Copperhead interconnects, brings greater focus to the overall presentation.”

    yeah no. fuck that guy. he dosent even mention what hes listening to them on, the size of his “test room”, and the entire article is nothing but meaningless buzzwords and marketing jargon. hes the kind of guy who believes that the kind of wood in an electric guitar makes a difference in its sound, because the company paying him to review it said it does.
