[QUOTE="Timo Ulkuniemi, post: 130661, member: 1978"] Re: Opinions on BOSE 802 Series II (2) PROFESSIONAL LOUDSPEAKER ??!! Hello from Finland Some 30 years ago I was wanting to have Bose 802:s for unexplained reasons..... I ended testing them side by side with JBL Cabaret 4612 dual-8 + tweeter - after about five seconds it was clear that JBL was my choice... The best I have heard of Bose 802 was - strangely enough - when used with upright bass in jazz bands. So they do have their purpose in this universe - but be aware of few things. They have 8 1-ohm speakers wired in series plus a bypass capacitor over four of them... If you break a speaker, your ONLY source for spare is Bose and you would not wish to buy that much for tiny speaker !!! The analog processor - I am writing this of memory - has low-cut filter with Q-value providing 6dB boost at cutoff frequency. Then there is high-frequency smoothly rising curve to get some crispiness. There is also a 6dB abrut drop around 1kHz - it was maybe done with analog x-over where high band was lowered and then both bands were summed together.... So my advice would be : like others already advised, get something else... anything else, unless they are max 50.- per piece. [/QUOTE]
