lakecat Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I just acquired a pair of V's with pedestals and equalizer for $100. The foams look good so wanted to compare to the series II I have. The problem with them is on one speaker, this previous owners' cat had sharpened his claws on the grill fabric on front corner. Shredded it...... and I called Bose to see if they might still carry it.Only thing left was a back panel....and then tried to sell me an exchange for new for $599.I am asking if anyone has ever located a material close to the Bose 901 V's? I know this is a long shot as most posts in here are ancient...but worth a try I guess. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hey CatSuggest you post a photo. I looked onthe web but it looked like there were a couple of variations on brown/brown basket weave/brown tweed.Do you want absolutely authentic?Check epay item 161468294602 or just google vintage speaker cloth brown tweed. There is a "Fender style brown grill cloth" that may workInteresting write-up on 901 restoration here http://solid-orange.com/hacks/bose-901-speaker-restorationKent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecat Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks for links Ken.....I have looked everywhere but no match so far. I need this grill material as I only have to do front of one speaker. I missed by a few weeks a complete set of grills for these on Ebay......sigh. I included pic of the series V I have, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I just acquired a pair of V's with pedestals and equalizer for $100. The foams look good so wanted to compare to the series II I have............................................................................................................................................I'll be interested in your thoughts on the sound differences.I originally had a pair of Series 2 back in college. They were late production run and Bose had switched from cloth surrounds to foam. My foam deteriorated and Bose replaced them with Series 6 for $350. The ported ones are more efficient and extend out to about 17kHz at the expense of bass. Not sure it was worth it. I believe the ported ones do not produce the lowest octave to go along with not being able to produce the top octave. I'm looking for some nice Series 2 with the wood fronts.
