Congrats on your new system. I'm sure you listened to some other speaker options before discovering the 901s and their supriority. All that matters is you enjoy what you listen to, and that you continue to do so.

I've only heard the 901s a few times, they won't find a home with me but they don't deserve as bad a reputation as the name Bose gets them. I can't say they're great, but they're not horrible and it sounds like you paid a fair price for what they are.
