Bose 201 Series IV Direct/Reflecting Speakers – Rosewood Finish – Matched Pair – 1996 ⸻ Description Offered for auction is a pair of Bose 201 Series IV Direct/Reflecting loudspeakers, manufactured in 1996 and finished in a classic rosewood veneer cabinet. The Bose 201 Series IV is part of Bose’s well-known Direct/Reflecting speaker line, designed to reproduce a spacious and natural listening experience. The design combines direct sound from the front driver with reflected sound from the side driver, helping to create a wider soundstage that resembles the acoustic character of live music. Each speaker features a large front-mounted woofer and a side-mounted tweeter, positioned to disperse sound both directly and via reflections from surrounding room surfaces. This design approach became one of Bose’s most recognizable technologies in home hi-fi systems. The cabinets have an attractive wood-grain veneer that gives the speakers a warm vintage appearance suitable for both classic and modern audio setups. They work well with a wide range of stereo amplifiers and receivers. ⸻ Technical Details Model: Bose 201 Series IV Type: Direct/Reflecting bookshelf speakers Impedance: 8 ohms Recommended amplifier power: 10–120 watts per channel IEC power rating: 60 watts per channel Engineered by Bose Corporation, Framingham, Massachusetts, USA Manufactured in Mexico Serial numbers: 01171196169 3523A 01171196169 3523B Date of manufacture (D.O.M.): 17 June 1996 ⸻ Condition Good vintage condition with normal signs of age and use.
