Product Description

The Acoustimass® 5 speaker system delivers the ear-pleasing music of a symphonyor the dramatic effects of your favorite movie. The Acoustimass module produces low notes without audible distortion and can be hidden behind furniture. Rich, full music and movie sound appear to come from the small cube speakers, rather than the Acoustimass module, hidden out of view. Two Direct/Reflecting® cube speaker arrays deliver the warmth and emotion of string and wind instruments. Those sounds are lifelike and spacious thanks to Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology. With a blend of reflected and direct sound, this innovative Bose® technology recreates the way sound reaches your ears during a live performance. You experience the richness of your favorite music, from almost anywhere in the room. Connect this speaker system to the rear channel outputs of your home theater equipment, and enjoy the same superb sound quality from your movies as you do from your music. You can mount the cube speaker arrays to your walls, or display them on attractive stands with our line of accessories.

bose is steady

Are they the best no.. Do they impress people who havent hear them before YES!! To me thats the best compliment, they are much more objective listenerswith no preconcived notions. All I ever hear is " Those speakers sound so Good" " I love those cool little speakers" etc. I've played everything from Bach to Dio and they sound very realistic. Subwoofer placement is key to having the proper bass level. At [...] they are a steal.. I paid [...]in 1991 and listen to them everyday they still sound like...

Why does Bose induce so many contradictory opinions?

I am not an audiophyle, just a music lover. My main system consists of Proac 140 speakers, MF x 150 amp and XRay cd coupled with PSU and MF DAC. I have a Michell Giro turntable. Whats this to do with Bose? may you ask. Well just intended to say that I am used to a middle range audio equipment with pedigree. It hapens that I spend many hours in a private office home, crowded with shelves, books and papers, so that I have no space to position box speakers. Recently I decided to purchase a Bose kit...

Look at each negative reply--Marketing blah blah

Don't be fooled by the naysayers on the Bose speaker systems, especially the Acoustimass satellite systems. These speakers will blow you away for their size. I bought a Lifestyle system when they first came out back in 1994. I was amazed, and everyone who has never heard a LS system from Bose, is completely blown away by the sound from such a small package. The LS systems are overpriced UNLESS you need and want all their features (and then probably still given you could build your own theather system...

this system blows (not in a good way)

do not buy this system.for the money there are much better systems out there.I bought this for my family room mainy for the small size of the cube speakers.The main problem with the system (which bose has corrected by the way) is that the "acoustimass" component (bose's fancy name for a subwoofer) is not active (or powered) which means the base is totally inadequate and is overun by the cubes which have no mid or bass ranges.The result is that you get a very "tinny" sound out of most applications...

Bose Rules

I am sorry to see the negative reviews on this board.I have had Bose speakers for more than thirty years.My first set, a pair of 601's is still functioning in a friends house.My 901 series VI blow away any home theater systems I've heard.With the direct reflecting sound, there is no need for center channel, rear channel.You just get realism in the listening experience that is unmatched.I have two sets of Acoustimas AM-5's and I am totally satisfied.I've had one set since 1991 and that is a tribute...
