100v PA Speakers

(Originally written by ainhoa/translated from Audiofanzine FR) Bought secondhand to a guy who didn't know what it was worth! (Although I must admit that I didn't know either!) I can't list the features but I give it a 10 (see last statement). For such a small woofer, the low-end is incredible and I give it a 10 (again, see last statement)! I've been using it for 7 years. There is nothing I don't like. The monitor 8? Terrific! This loudspeaker is as compact as it is powerful. It produces what I cal a very "pure" sound. Before I was able to buy something more expensive I used them as: - P.A. system in a screening room for 80 people. - P.A. for dance clubs with up to 200 people in a bi-amplified system with two 18" subwoofers. However I must say that I did break a woofer diaphragm at it, but honestly...!!! It was fed with 300 watts RMS coming from a Yamaha XS 350 (which has an integrated crossover). They are still in the screening room as of today. I give them a 10/10 considering the EXTREME abuse I submitted them to, their reliability and their sound quality.

The Bose 301 Series IV are a set of high quality home stereo speakers. I currently have these speakers in my home audio set up and even though I am an engineer, I don't use these in my home studio - I strictly use them for listening purposes and I would recommend that you do the same if you have these. Don't get me wrong - these are very good sounding speakers and will give you a nice sound to listen to records on, but they aren't adequate for mixing or monitoring for recording. They have a full sound, but are clean enough across the board as they lack the low end that you would look for in a set of studio monitors. As far as for listening goes, these will work perfect for your home stereo set up as they have a good sound and aren't too big to move around. Bose is known for making great sounding speakers for home audio and even though these are some of the older speakers that they have made, they still have a great sound and will give you a pretty accurate picture of what something sounds like for listening to Cds and records. The Bose 301 Series IV are no longer made, but they do have some newer models of the 301 available that I'm not familiar with, so I can't speak to how these compare to the newer versions. These aren't incredibly expensive speakers if you can find them used, but I would definitely recommend listening to them and trying them out before you buy them as there are a lot of options out there in this price range. All in all, Bose 301 Series IV are a nice set of home audio speakers and they are definitely worthy of a listen.

(Originally written by bouloo/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've been using this system for over one year and I'm very satisfied with it. It's true it's quite expensive but the performance matches the price. It's very sturdy and reliable even under extreme conditions. I haven't had any problems (I use it with the processor of the same brand). It is equipped with following drivers: 1 x 18", 1 x 15", 1 x 10" and a 2" compression driver. Output power: 1000 watts (continuous), 4000 watts (peak). Link to the spec sheet: http://www.outlinearray.com/images/stories/prodotti/point_source_systems/bomber.pdf
