Good article, with one small problem. (Reply to this comment)

This is a great article overall, but I'd like to point out something about your recommendations on the foam/cloth re-edge kits.

I buy a lot of Bose 901s from garage sales, eBay etc, and have re-edged tons of them. I usually use the cloth/lifetime kit on them and have experienced NO difference at all in sound (the excursion is the same). BUT, I must tell you that the only one I've found to be identical performance is from Orange County Speaker (www.speakerrepair.com). I've used others and they are very stiff, but the OCS cloth kit is soft and sounds just like the foam when installed.

So my recommendation is, if you want the cloth kit, go with the OCS one and you won't be disappointed. They also sell the foam kit too.

Wow, (Reply to this comment)

lot's of good information here. Many things I didn't know, including this:

"Therefore...Series I & II {1968 to 1976} are compatible when it comes to mix and matching speakers and E.Q.'s.
Series III & IV {1976 to 1983} are compatible.
Series V & VI {1983 to Present Day} are compatible."

This should become a reference for potential Bose 901 buyers.
