There's no reason you can't use the 901's in ALL of your audio experience.

Try this:

Remove the short plugs from the Adaptor jacks. They claim you can record some of the effects (surround, dbfb and tone) from these jacks so that implies it's late in the preamplification path. The question is - did they place it after the Volume Control, too - as many other receivers with jumpers do?

Take an RCA pair from the Adaptor Out to the 901 Active EQ's Line IN; then the EQ's Line Out to a separate amp's Line IN. Attach the 901's to the new amp.

Because we don't know if the Volume Control is in the path at this point, find yourself a CD with a long, low fade-in just in case the signal is at maximum power here. Be ready to Pause it if it gets too loud.

If the Volume Control affects it ok, then get yourself a pair of RCA cable splitters and place them where the Adaptor Jumpers were with the extra leads going to the cables we ran to the 901 EQ at first. That way the receiver still keeps the program internally for its own speakers and the 901's get it, too, but without modifying what the receiver sees.

If the volume control on the Sony isn't in the Adaptor loop you'll have to use the Pyle's volume control. But you could still have the speakers that are directly attached to the Sony useable at the same time.

Will bose 901 speakers work with a AVR-4308CI

Yes they will, I have a set on a denon receiver amp ( not sur of the model # its in another town). The main thing for bose 901's is that the equlizer has to be connected somewhere beteen the preamp and the main amp, most higher power amps have a switch that opens a set of patch cord jacks that the Eq. can be connected thru. So you should verify this feature with any amp you chose. With out the Eq connected the 901's have no bass or highend sound.

`Which ampliphier is compatible for my Bose 901 series 6 with equilazer.

Ideally, an amplifier or receiver should have either a "Tape Monitor" selector switch and Tape Input & Tape Output jacks, OR have Preamp Output & Amp Input jacks to enable insertion of the Bose Active equalizer into the circuit before the amplifier stage. Power requirements - according to the 901 Series VI manual:

"Your 901 speakers are designed to work compatibly with receivers or amplifiers rated from
10 to 450 watts per channel."

If you have questions not answered by the manual, you can contact customer service at The Bose Corporation in Framingham, MASS toll free at:

I hope this helped & good luck!

I have the bose 901 wallnut sceries i have yet to find a conpatible reciver to run them

For stereo audio only: Any powerful receiver with at least one Tape Monitor loop will work. No other speakers types (excpet 901 -1 or -2) will be supported by the receiver running the 901's. 901 series 1's are very power hungry so figure on 150 REAL watts per channel and clean.

For multichannel audio and the 901's as the front speakers: Any AV Receiver with a set of Preamp Outputs for Front L and R; AND a separate HIGH-powered amplifier to drive the 901's ONLY.

What kind of amplifier and other accessories are recommended for bose 901 speakers

I would recommend a high power 2-channel amplifier, minimum 16 guage speaker wire, and of course the Bose 901 active EQ that matches the series of your speakers. I use a Yamaha mx-830 power amp & cx-830 pre amp 170 wpc They (Bose) claim that they're unlimited power handling, But if you use a amplifier with to little power and overdrive it to make it louder, you could damage the speakers or amp. With my 170 watt class A amp,the 901 series 6 will blow wind across the room. Go with the best amp you can afford! best for money- Yamaha,Denon,Onkyo!
