Amazon.com Product Description
Experience enhanced sound from Bose's most affordable, next-generation Acoustimass stereo speakers. The Acoustimass 5 system in white delivers bass that's the deepest and fullest yet. Two single-cube speakers--smaller than ever before--are elegantly designed to fit virtually any decor. And the module easily hides away behind furniture or off in a corner, so all the lifelike sound seems to flow from the tiny cubes.
When you hear the Acoustimass 5 Series III speakers, you'll think you're listening to much larger speakers. Yet the spacious sound actually comes from two tiny cube speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass bass module. The improved cube speakers offer enhanced performance, contemporary styling, and a smaller size than the Series II. And the improved module fills a room with even deeper, fuller bass. These Virtually Invisible speakers are the definitive answer to the question of how to combine spacious sound with space-saving design.
Though the Virtually Invisible speaker design may seem like a disappearing act, the performance is quite noticeable. Full, resonating bass and crystal-clear highs envelop a room in beautiful stereo sound. It's all the result of years of intense research and testing. The Acoustimass 5 speakers accomplish what no conventional speakers can claim: big, lifelike sound without big, bulky speakers. Now or in the future, Acoustimass stereo speakers can be turned into a home theater set by simply adding the compatible Bose VCS-10 center-channel speaker. For full five-speaker surround sound, add the VCS-30 center-surround speaker package.

Bose Acoustimass 5 - Speaker System, ideal for stereo or home theater use - White Reviews
| 141 of 155 people found the following review helpful  I think I know why opinions differ on these speakers, By This review is from: Bose Acoustimass 5 - Speaker System, ideal for stereo or home theater use - Black (Electronics) I was having issues myself with sound quality with these speakers until I went to Bose.com and read the user guide. These speakers are meant to produce sound both directly and reflectively. If you have all of the elements pointing forward with no surfaces to bounce off of the experience is not satisfying. You need to tuck the sub away in a corner (to reflect off the walls) and the smaller speakers I find work great with one element pointing directly and the other pointing at a wall (each speaker has 2 elements). The sound with the reflection is much richer and satisfying than when everything's pointed directly at you. 103 of 120 people found the following review helpful  Limited Appeal, By This review is from: Bose Acoustimass 5 - Speaker System, ideal for stereo or home theater use - White (Electronics) Bose seem to elicit a passsionate response whenever their name is mentioned, and I will try to elaborate on my experiences and let the reader decide if these speakers are right for them.I currently own a set of Bose Acoustimass speakers that I purchased from a friend. The speakers were in excellent shape and I felt lucky to be able to afford Bose a few years ago on my meager salary at the time. The speakers are definitely room *friendly*, they blend in easily as their size is unobtrusive. That said, after investigating speakers recently for a planned theater upgrade, I now feel that they are lacking. When I first got my speakers I compared them to a pair I had purchased back when I was in high-school. I didn't know anything about those speakers at the time but was happy with their sound as well(AR Holographic M1's). The results of the comparison left me thinking my ears were deceiving me "my old speakers sound better?" Anyway, I put those...

You either love them or hate them.It's a funny thing, This guy was at my house and heard my Quad ESL speakers (electrostatic) ($5,000) with about $6,000 worth of electronics and made the comment that they sounded almost as good as his Bose. So there you go, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Myself, I'm not too keen on Bose and I could go on a tirade about what I don't like about them, but in the end, it's what you think. If they make you happy, then by God, you've made the right choice. Bose are very colored speakers, bright highs and warm syrupy bass. This is a sound that many people like. The fact that they don't take up much room fits into many lifestyles. If you like accuracy and want to get closer to real, then try something else. For me, Bose has a pleasant sound that is nice to listen to at low volume when I just want background sound. I can even... Read more |
