The Bose 901 speakers are a Direct/Reflecting Speaker System,  They are the flagship speakers of the Bose line,  Bose claims that the 901's create a mix of direct and reflected sound present in a live performance which brings out the emotion of the music. The speakers come in two colors, black and walnut, with optional pedestals. They are engineered with nine full-range drivers which provide greater power handling than conventional home audio speakers,  The 901's were instant hits back in the 1960's and the latest release, Series VI, are re-engineered causing reviewers to write things like "those who haven't heard the 901's owe it to themselves to give them a listen." The price is steep but you're paying for audiophile quality.
