And they (901s) didn’t image well in the vintage sense of the term either, when I first heard them decades ago.

Many years ago the store I worked for was trying to get the Infinity speaker franchise and Arnie Nudell and Scott Christy came to see if we were serious about audio. Me and my future partners took them to dinner and brought them to check out my one friend's system. He had double 901s, one pair facing the wall and the other pair facing forward. He was powering everything with two Crown D300s and matching IC150 preamp with a Thorens TD125 table and SME 3009, I think. He was going to dental school while working at the stereo shop part time. Arnie thought we were serious about audio and the store got the franchise and became a very successful Infinity dealer. But he suggested that my friend get the Infinity Servo-Static speakers and some Audio Research gear. All three of us were hooked from that moment on, but I can still remember those 901's rocking Jethro Tull in his small basement apartment.
