- If anyone cares, the industrial version of the 901's is the 801's. Those are
- the ones usually used in night clubs and are typically firing onto the dance floor.
-
- I don't like Bose but they do have a couple of good qualities for using in the
- club environment:
- o They don't have tweeters which are likely to be blown if the amps clip.
- Drunk DJ's turn the volume up slowly as the night goes on, past the "max" point.
- I know, I've done it.
- o They put out enough mid-bass (60Hz up) that drunk club-goers think they are
- hearing lots of bass. And, most of the music played at clubs does NOT have much
- bass below that range. This includes Rap.
