    Placement is everything with 901s. Most people who don’t like the sound of these speakers have listened to the speakers placed incorrectly.

    The manual posted earlier will give exact specs, but generally they need to be place about 8 to 10 feet apart at least 3-4 feet from any corner with 2-3 feet between them and a SOLID wall behind them (no windows the more solid the wall the better). These are reflecting speakers that have 90% of sound coming from the rear, this is why proper placement and room dimensions are so important.

    In the proper room, with a good amplifier these should sound great. They can take a lot of juice to really hit their potential so a vintage set up (amp, reel/ turntable) is ideal. It would also be ideal to keep everything wired with good cables (no Bluetooth).
