Well it's not like they expected the speaker to be flat and then had to
put a big band aid on it. It was designed that way. Lot's of speakers,
in particular active compact subs, require tons of funny business -
it's part of the design.

Yes lot's of Bose products, maybe all of them, are overpriced. But 901's
had a sound, when set up right, that was very pleasing to many people, 
and the original price ($476 as I recall) really wasn't too bad.
