Bose solved my problem.

by   jnichols2 ,  Apr 21, 2002
Pros: Big sound in a small package. Wonderful sound dispersion.
Cons: Price.
The Bottom Line: These are the speakers for anyone with a need for small space.
Review: My old speakers were Sansoui floor speakers with 16" woofers. They sound great as long as you position them to dominate the room. In my new house, the entertainment area got a corner next to a huge German Wall Schrank. I could only get sound in a...

The Real Deal

by   patrick_hodges ,  Jun 10, 2004
Pros: Seperation, staging, small size, low end response, no distortion
Cons: expensive, not expandable for home theater
The Bottom Line: These speakers will give you many years of enjoyment if you like them and will frustrate you if you did not take the time to compare them.
Review: I have owned the Bose Acoustimass 5 speakers for 11 years now and I absolutely love everything about them. The pieces are small and disappear in the room leaving a custom look. I think the sound is phenomenal. There is excellent seperation, staging, ...

Couldn't be happier!

by   woudie ,  Jun 6, 2006
Pros: Small size, clean natural sound, bass response.
Cons: Wish I could get the black woofer and white satellites (Doh!)
The Bottom Line: Highly recommend - you will not find a better balance of sound quality, price and size anywhere, period. Properly set up, you will really be surprised.
Review: I owned the original Acoustimass 5 set some 20 years ago and it was pretty good - but these are better. I have also owned 901's (excellent) and even a 321 GS II system (mediocre). Have owned Infiniti's and old Kenwoods (when they were top shelf). So I ...

Smaller is Better!

by   philly60 ,  Jan 13, 2000
Pros: Great sound quality. Small. Light.
Cons: Expensive
Review: I began my search for the perfect speaker last year as I found my older speakers taking up half the room in our new home. Additionally, I couldn't create the perfect sound with the acoustics in the room. With the Bose Acoustimass 5 speakers I was able...

Big sound-Little package

Pros: small size-big sound-flexiblity
Cons: price
Review: My Christmas wish came true last year when my wife surprised me with a Bose Acoustimass 5 Series III speaker system. I listen to a lot of vocal music and have always wanted a Bose system but couldn't justify the price.

Well, I've enjoyed the...

Strange, but good!

by   mariolisovski ,  May 12, 2006
Pros: Good!
Cons: Elegant
Review: Bose AM5 looks unkonvencional and sounds too unkonvencional.... Generaly AM5 is very good speakers for money you pay (new one) just must find amp. or receiver for this speakers. This can be expensive way to get good sound but if you like it... In my ...

BOSE puts a lot in a little package.

by   dwest2314 ,  Mar 26, 2002
Pros: Easy to install, sound really good. Very clear.
Cons: Bass unit unshielded. Best sound achieved with distance between speakers.
The Bottom Line: If you can't afford the 5 speaker Bose setup, this is one of the better 3 speaker sets on the market. Clear sound, great styling.
Review: After reading the reviews posted by others whom have purchased these speakers, I felt it necessary to add my voice to the mix to perhaps put a little different spin on the Acoustimass 5. First, let me say this, for those who want gigantic sound over a...

Great Speaker System, But You Can Get The Same Sound For Less

by   workscorp ,  Nov 26, 2001
Pros: Small size, smart styling, good sound
Cons: Very pricey (even the mounting brackets), can't expand or upgrade, limited compatibility
The Bottom Line: Bose systems like this are great for receivers running Pro-Logic, 3-Stereo or 2-channel sound modes. For home theater setups, shop around.
Review: How This Speaker System Has Performed

I have always been pleased with the sound coming from my Bose speakers, however I wouldn't turn away more, tighter bass.

Now that I have a Dolby Digital/DTS receiver, I've discovered that...
