You can also simply light the dollar bills you were planning to use.uld I shell out some extra dough for audioquest cables
Those were the mk1... horrible sounding speakers, yet many were sold and many people seemed to like them but the Bose milk cartons were also pretty popular and sounded no better than a portable radio with a honky boom box attached to them.Were the 301’s the model with the flappy thing over the tweeter?
Hey man I think the bass is pretty good on the 301-V the trebles are great too especially with eq. Have you actually heard the 301s in person or fiddled with them eq wise. Fine if you feel the materials are cheap but they work just fine to me. Now I’m really worried if these speakers will break early, I was hoping this investment would last me 20years so long as I take care of themThose were the mk1... horrible sounding speakers, yet many were sold and many people seemed to like them but the Bose milk cartons were also pretty popular and sounded no better than a portable radio with a honky boom box attached to them.
These are the mk5. Cheap (for a Bose) with paper cone woofer and 2 paper cone tweeters with a 'diffuser' in front of them. One pointing towards the rear and side and the other towards the front and side. The rear tweeter has the upper treble filtered out. The woofer is not filtered at all.
I had Bose 301s once and loved them. Speakers can sound good without producing accurate sound reproduction. Look at Erin's experience with the Bose 901s, he seemed to really enjoy them, while at the same time saying they do not fit the definition of well designed speakers.Hey man I think the bass is pretty good on the 301-V the trebles are great too especially with eq.

Can you please explain if this filtering is bad or good in what wayThose were the mk1... horrible sounding speakers, yet many were sold and many people seemed to like them but the Bose milk cartons were also pretty popular and sounded no better than a portable radio with a honky boom box attached to them.

on YouTube a fellow mentioned that the crossover is crap and when he opened the 301 and replaced it with his own higher quality crossover that the sound quality improved a lotFiltering is poorly done. In fact there is not even any real crossover filter. There only is a 6dB/oct high pass for the tweeters. The woofer/midrange is not filtered at all.
Probably to save production costs, not to improve sound quality/performance.
).
I read an article/ paper on woofers regarding plans incorporating paper vs plastic /rubber woofers and that to assume paper material would assume lesser quality is not true. I’m pretty sure that’s what it said. Anyway whatever, you are telling me paper is cheaper, I overpaidThe sound quality is (probably) not going to change much with a better quality filter.
Most limiting factors are the enclosure, the woofer itself and the cheap paper cone tweeters.
There is also a lightbulb inside that acts as kind-of a protection for the tweeters at higher listening levels (which also causes compression and distortion at high levels).
The 2 tweeters are in series and one of them (the rear one) receives less treble and the front one produces more upper treble.
This is not standard so off-the-shelf filters are not recommended here unless you know what you are doing.
Replacing the cheap electrolytic capacitor for a same value higher quality capacitor is not going to do anything for this speaker.
I would use it as it is when you like the sound.

Looking at prices I'd say they are a rather expensive alternative.Would electrostatic be considered a cheap alternative for producing the highs???
Hey which brands did you check outLooking at prices I'd say they are a rather expensive alternative.
Martin Logan.Hey which brands did you check out
Ditched the dts altogther! Garbage . Output tv through optical to a dac, connected to dj mixer. Turned up the highs.. better. Way better, also set the receiver on 5 Chan stereoSo I finally decided to check out my system on full.
Took my Bose model100 surrounds and put them on surround as they’re meant to be. Put together 5.1 and it sounds great. However receiver has another 2 left and right channels, and since I had another pair of the Bose 100s & I threw em in, 7.1 now. Not sure if this is good because I’m listening Spotify on tv and I use optical out with dts2:5 (using the Bose 100s on a left/right channel…)
Since all the channels are virtualized, and everything sounds good. Mission accomplished!
