Great speakers! I loved the Infinity 2000As. Still have a pair of them after all these years. Still sound great but no longer my first love.
As for the Bose, I only owned the 901s for a few months. They taught me a lot about soundstage and perhaps what might be possible with a little more balance between direct and reflected sound. Have thought 'outside the box' and enjoyed dipoles ever since.
