Bose 901 Speakers & Rotel RX-1050 Receiver — 3-Piece Hi-Fi Electronics Lot, Fifth Avenue Estate (Julius H. Jacobson II)

A curated three-piece hi-fi electronics group from the Fifth Avenue estate of Julius H. Jacobson II — comprising a pair of Bose 901 speakers and a Rotel RX-1050 stereo receiver, two names that defined high-end home audio in the 1970s and remain actively collected today.

The Bose 901 is one of the most iconic speaker designs in audio history. Introduced in 1968 by Dr. Amar Bose, the 901's nine-driver "Direct/Reflecting" array was a radical departure from conventional speaker design — bouncing 89% of its sound off walls and ceiling to create an immersive, room-filling soundstage. The 901 remained in production for decades across multiple series and is a cornerstone of vintage hi-fi collecting.

The Rotel RX-1050 is a well-regarded solid-state stereo receiver from Rotel's classic receiver lineup — known for its clean amplification, robust build quality, and strong collector following among vintage audio enthusiasts. Rotel receivers from this era are prized for their reliability and musical performance.
