I'm planning to buy a new set of speakers so I can run them in my small entertainment room. I'm considering a set of Bose 901 so I can run them with about 150 Watt RMS. any suggestions gentlemen?

That's definitely within my budget! I need smaller speakers because the room I currently have is very small, as opposed to my previous room. Thanks for the tip!

They received the "Diapason d'or" prize from the best music-lover french magazine, "Diapason".
It features a 16.5 cm boomer, which means it makes some low.

Ah, Focal / JM Lab - some great sounding (and looking!) French speakers, with interesting technology too.  Hope you will tell us how they sound in your room!
 
By the way, the usual English term for the bass driver is 'woofer'.
