I have a set of Bose 901's, Series 1 with the control box. Not fancy wood. No stands. Some damage on one corner but speakers/face cloth fine. Kind of like a burlap.
The surround on the speakers is cloth. I think they changed that on later series.
I would change out the electrical components in the control box. The sell refresh kits for them. It works but has to be getting tired (I think?)
Fo' free plus shipping. I see sets with spiffy wood bringing a few hundred dollars.
If remotely interested, I can send pics.
Critics beat them up and others love them. They are definitely nostalgic.
Wait for javadog's input before deciding.
