Hey guys so my dad had an old pair of 901s laying around along with the equalizer he used with it. We seem to have thrown out the amplifier / receiver component for it and Im lookin to get it setup again. Im trying to stay around $300 or so if thats even possible? I got told today by some guy who knew about these that I could use a receiver with Tape 1 and Tape 2 RCA slots and this would work fine...If these are a thing, which do you suggest? Or what would be a better alternative for not so much $? Budget is a LITTLE flexible! ...I got told a RX-V3300 could/would do the job..is this true? If so is it all I would need? Also is there any solutions that give me some sort of HDMI so I coudl use on modern TV? Thanks
Nice speakers! No problem hooking up. Google "bose 901 V manual" and download the manual.
These will work with almost any receiver or amp. The speakers are connected just like any others. The equalizer goes in either an "external processor loop" OR a tape loop. You only need one Tape but it must have both Tape In and Tape Out. When you use the system you engage the "Tape Monitor" which allows you to hear the signal that is sent thru the equalizer. The HDMI is a separate issue. Any modern AV receiver should have HDMI. Just be sure it also has a "loop"--either EQ or Tape.

I had the same problem- I have a Pioneer VSX-518 and Bose 901 series IV. My receiver has no "Tape Monitor", so after trying different hook ups, I went and bought a "3 input video switcher" (about $10.00) I run my STB (cable box), my PS3 and my computer through the inputs of the switcher (just the audio L/R) then the output to the Bose EQ input, then from the Bose EQ output to my receiver input (I chose to use the TV/DVR input). Now I just have to select which source I want to listen to from the switch, make sure the receiver is set to TV/DVR and I have fantastic sound via my Bose 901s. With this hookup, I have my 3 componets video connected to my HDTV via HDMI cable. It works for me. Hope this helps.
