Not wanting to start a "Bose Bash"...

I got a set of 1974 Bose 901 Continental speakers for FREE. I don't care how bad a value Bose is, for that price it wasn't a bad buy! The speakers are in excellent condition, and sound fine for the application.

When I bought them, I thought that they were Series I and I bought a Series I EQ off ebay to make them work. I later learned that they are Series II. I learned that the Series I and II use a sealed box, and everything after that was prted in an effort to make the speaker more efficient.

My question is; If I buy another EQ box for a Series II Speaker will this improve the overall sound of the speaker? Anyone have any experience w/this?

Lastly, I've read that (one of) the problems with the 901's it that they are using too small a driver to make 'real' bass...that you can't make base w/less than a 10'' woofer. The thing is, these seem to have astounding bass, IMO. Maybe I don't know what "good bass" is, but the bass at least sounds better than anything I've heard from any home stereo, or car stereo and reminds me of live concerts. Any comment on this discrepancy?

Thanks.
