Up for sale is a cosmetically well-preserved pair of Bose 201 Series IV Direct/Reflecting Bookshelf Speakers. Known globally for pioneering spacious, concert-like audio in compact home formats, Bose engineered the 201 Series IV to wash sound across your living room, studio, or home theater setup.

Unlike traditional bookshelf speakers that project audio in a narrow, laser-straight line (creating a tiny "sweet spot"), Bose utilizes Direct/Reflecting® technology. By angling the 2" high-frequency tweeters, these speakers bounce sound waves off your side walls to recreate the organic, expansive soundstage of a live musical performance.

CRUCIAL BUYING DISCLOSURE: SOLD "AS-IS" & UNTESTED

These passive speakers require a dedicated stereo receiver or amplifier to power them. Because our facility does not house a classic analog audio testing station (unpowered bare speaker wire terminal layout), this pair is being sold strictly UNTESTED and AS-IS.

While they are in clean, solid cosmetic condition and show no signs of structural damage or driver decay, we cannot guarantee their electronic performance or acoustic output. They are priced accordingly—making them an incredible bargain for vintage audio collectors, technicians, or DIY audiophiles who have the gear to test, enjoy, or service them!

Key Acoustic & Design Highlights

• 6.5" High-Excursion Woofer: Delivers rich, punchy mid-to-low frequencies. Supported by a front-firing tuned slot port to maximize efficiency and bass response without muddying up your vocals.
• Stereo Everywhere® Performance: Angled 2" tweeters deliver balanced stereo sound across a wide listening area, so you don't have to sit dead-center to enjoy a rich stereo field.
• Compact, Versatile Layout: Sized perfectly for bookshelves, desktop speaker stands, or entertainment centers. They can be placed with the tweeters firing inwards for focused home theater tracking, or outwards for a wider, more ambient soundstage.
• Clean, Classic Aesthetics: The sleek cabinets and fabric grilles look incredibly sharp, making them a handsome addition to any modern, mid-century, or retro hifi system setup.

What’s Included

• (1) Bose 201 Series IV Bookshelf Speaker — Left Channel
• (1) Bose 201 Series IV Bookshelf Speaker — Right Channel
• (Note: Bare speaker wire, mounting brackets, stands, and amplifiers are NOT included).

Pro-Tier High-Protection Audio Shipping

• Chassis, Grille, and Driver Isolation: High-fidelity speakers have delicate internal cones and vulnerable outer grilles. We will place protective cardboard shields over the front fabric grilles to prevent puncture or indentation during transit.
• Impact-Isolated Vault Packaging: Both speakers will be wrapped individually in multiple thick layers of heavy-duty industrial bubble wrap to prevent surface friction. They will then be nested flat inside a rigid, thick-walled corrugated shipping box packed completely tight with dense shock-absorbent void fill. This completely eliminates internal shifting and guarantees a safe, drop-protected arrival.
• Shipping: Ships promptly with tracking. Add a piece of classic Bose acoustic engineering to your project bench today!
