Garbage. The big woofer actually produces mid-range, which is really weird when you hear voices and mid-range coming from you corner. It also causes me to feel like I'm going deaf in one ear, because of the locatable mid-range sounds.
ide rather buy some floorstanding speakers that i can FIX myself and not have to send in. bose makes stuff impossible to get into so you have to send it into THEM so THEY can get money.
i use one of the old acoustimass models with a marantz 2270 and it sounds great but bose's new stuff is overpriced.... and ill give some reasons even though i might be wrong in a lot of ways.. first: headphones i can buy a pair of sony XB700's for $140 and they sound, feal, and look better than $300 Quiet comforts they are also tougher and stronger. they dont blow out. i can put them on a desk and turn them all the way up and walk 20FT away and still hear them.
ok its for my restaurant, its only small, and noticed the Acoust's 5 in a restaurant the same size and the sound was clear and sweet. Thanks for guys at audio solutions suggesting for this
Bose survives on marketing hype and appealing to the untutored and inexperienced. Bose Cubes may sound pleasant enough for something so tiny---but for the money the sound is rather poor when you compare them with the competition.
i know this is a bit dumb to ask but can you hook up the bose acoustimass module in the car? does it have built in amps so that you just plug it in with RCA out from your car stereo?
@heartache33 Unfortunately, no, you cannot use the Bose Acoustimass speaker system in your vehicle. While it’s not actually impossible, you would need a conventional home A/V receiver amplifier and a power inverter for the receiver, the surround sound audio source, and the powered subwoofer module of the Bose speaker system. Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030--Crutchfield
@crutchfieldtv ohh i see cause id want to still use the module cause i bought a new bose home theater i was wondering if i could just use it in the vehicle well thnx for the info anyways you are approachable
some people claim that bose is all about marketing. well, all audio brands do market their products as well, except that they are never as popular as bose, which raises a question. the answer is simple. bose is a great manufacturer. it can make cheap materials sound superb and that is all matters. as for myself, i don't care if a speaker is made of crap if it sounds terrific. if a speaker cone is made of gold and sounds like a CB radio, who gives the .... about the gold? let's say bose is smart!
People that don't like Bose System have hearing problem and they cannot afford to buy it. They only thing they can afford is to comment a negative about this incredible sound system. I am saving my money just to buy Bose Lifestyle 48. It would take me a year to purchase it, BUT in return it will give LONG LIFESTYLE of SATISFACTION. I been to bose store just to hear this speaker personally, i said to myself, this is the sounds i been looking for a long long time. THE BEST OF THE GREATEST!!!
@maestro2011humble Bose is amazing, and im on your side bose has incredible sounding products. The haters who cant afford bose probably have some speakers produced by toshiba or something. Also klipsch is just like bose too with professional movie theater speakers
my fucking god people bose is an excellent company you dont understand how much they have improved. sony, and all those other universal companies cant compare..... klipsch can though
Some of the most dreadful, overhyped, overpriced speakers available. Listen to any number of comparably priced full sized speakers from several companies blow Bose away. Just compare and you'll see. Bose shys away from comparisons---that's why you always see Bose speakers in stores setup well away from other products because they don't want it demonstrated how poor they are for the money.
@socksumi just because you dont like the sound it produces dostn mean its dreadfull. thats not a fair judgement calling it dreadfull just becasue you dont like it, yes some people dont like it, but there are some people that do and i love them. cant you accept that? or are you to ignorant and arrogant and your just acting high and mighty?
@bboychi1 Did I say Bose Cubes were dreadful? I did say they were pleasant enough---but they ARE overpriced and do not live up to the marketing and hype they are imbued with. Overall, NOT good value for the money. All you need to do is attend a decent high end audio trade show to discover a level of audio reproduction realism you never knew existed.
Why do so many people that dont like Bose watching Bose videos? Fair enough we all have different tast but it people want to buy Bose its up to them. I have two pairs of Bose headphones and after reading poor reviews I decided to get some Grado's. I couldnt stand how bright they are and have now sold them. The point im trying to make is what one person hears is different to another, and I get tired of people saying "Bose suck" "Bose are not worth the money" but provide no evidence as to why?
@mutantenemy2008 people are jealous and they will go into detail why bose is no good. Like mid range, bass, too expensive etc. though at the end of the day theres something extra in these bose systems that excell above the rest. I personally wouldn't buy the speakers without the bose amp. u need the amp as they then bind together perfectly. The main aspect to prove the quality now and agin you can hear minute effects from songs that you never hear on headphones or other 5.1 systems. fact
@OrganNLou Well Dirr, their like 55 grand, and for the ones at a few hundred quid, i dont think so, you get what u pay for. and for your reply bla bla bla, u argumentive twat fuck off.
@OrganNLou Hi, I just check B&W speaker here in YOUTUBE...i am sorry to disappoint you. That is not the quality of sounds i am looking for, the bass is pumping, no good it would only last for 3 to 5 years. My grandmas bose speaker is already 15 years and still nothing change of its quality. the sound of it is still superb. The B&W will torn apart bass because it keeps on pumping it will ripped off eventually specially on troprical places because the wheather is always hot, its not really for me.
@maestro2011humble Lots of bass does not equate to "good" sound. Also Poly/rubber and wood will last much longer under those harsh weather conditions.
@mutantenemy2008 I can..... Because thin plastic is a terrible enclosure material (flexible; colors the sound) and Bose apparently doesn't believe in tweeters, leaving a tiny 2.5 inch midish driver to cover the highs and lows, and everything else for that matter. The acoustimass can't produce sound bellow 40Hz, which doesn't qualify it as a subwoofer. Smaller speakers may look better, but acoustically, there's no replacement for large wooden encloses, tweeters, and proper sized drivers.
I am musician and I love music. I decided for an Acoustimass 10 Serie 4 System. Music room is 20m². When I installed it, I used a 15 year old Yamaha amplivier to my Bose. It sounded terribly, or lets say even bader as the old but good speakers. However, this was not what I expected from it...Then I used a YAMAHA RX-V 467 with subwoofer connector which is binding for listening to the wonderful sound which it has now! Not possible to describe how fuckin' great!!!! :) *****5 Stars! SOUND EXPERIENCE
I've auditioned quite a number of system before I went for the Bose Acoustimass system. Those floor standing speakers with matching surround speaker and sub are nice but they don't give me that cinema like sound feeling, they sound like they're all mix together. I even returned an Infinity tower, sub and surround system because of this. With the Bose Acoustimass I can actually feel diffuse sound emanating from the tiny cubes and bass filling the room for that true 5.1 experience. Try it!
@hereistand2008 Marketing. What other audio company runs TV and radio commercials, has advertisements in just about every magazine out there, and has tons of banners all around the internet? None. Because of this, people get more exposure to Bose than any other audio company out there (especially in its price range), and that's why Bose is so famous. And since people tend to go with brands they recognize, and Bose claims they're the best, that's why it's also very popular.
Sorry guys but Bose are the absolute worst of all speakers. Try Polk, klipsh, definitive technologies any thing other than Chinese paper made speakers.
@Copser656 thats a foolish thing to say, i actually chose bose over polk , klipcsh and many others,by the way i work in home theater. so i know much better then to go for the crap out there def tech sounds great till it falls apart btw. bose makes a fantastic product that hold up for a long time.
@ddemko100 im pretty sure you dont spell Bose with a C at the end, and umm... the word is "expensive" spell it right and go spend 100 dollars on a theater in box by Phillips, because we all know you much better then me ,all the other Bose fans and the acoustic engineers working at Bose to make a good product.
@falshami I am an Electronics Technician, I used to work for the service agent locally repairing Bose, They are grossly overpriced, have very poor reliability, very average sound Quality, and low quality internal Components, so Yes, I do know what I am talking about.
LOL, deep bass my candy ass. I've heard these at best buy, and no way in hell are they worth my money. I mean christ it's said you can hear voices coming out of the sub! WTF?!?! YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER hear voices out of a sub! Huge waste of cash on shit speakers. You can get something better from Klipsch, paradigm, B&W, etc for way better at the same price or cheaper. And when I mean way I mean way^8.
Deep Bass? Bose????? Dude, I don't know what these guys have been smoking, but it's surely illegal. 1 coat of paint is lightyears deeper than the "deep" LMFAO bass that these bose acoustimass modules porduce. Have you ever actually seen a frequency response graph of these bose systems?
There's NO deep bass, no highs, and the crossover point is WAY TOO high from the acoustimass module to the satellites.
The drivers in the Bose cube speakers are worth around a buck each and the casings are around a buck as well. So 4x6=24 (two speakers per speaker unit). The Acoustimass has six of those drivers in it so that's six more dollars and the casing is worth around five bucks remember it's only plastic. So tally it up: 24+6+5=35 dollars The Bose Acoustimass16 costs 1,299.00 net profit for Bose 1,264.00. Feeling ripped off yet?
@asatruviking your right research ,development, other productions cost have no factor what so ever, the cost of employing people to build them, the price of selling them, opportunity cost of them , not a damn thing to do with price. did you study economics? how about industrial design? no? ok sounds good stop talking then. if you did study any of this you would know that. they may be a little over priced but all you do is bash
@falshami A little over priced? How about very over priced. Maybe Bose should spend less on research and more on their product. Then they might sound better than they do. Anybody with good hearing can tell the difference with out seeing the specs. That's why older folks buy Bose. Then you have professional people who are never home to hear them and they don't care how they sound they just buy them for the status thing. I did a Bose setup for a guy I never even met, his house keeper paid me.
@asatruviking hahah your telling a research company to do less research ? not gonna happen , tis like asking a cow to be less meaty. no ha. and yes bose equipment is often used for professionals because it is good , not just for status , although i can admit some will for the name. but thats not my problem. and exactly you proved my point , with good hearing you dont need specs, Bose sounds awesome and i have put it up against a few systems already , high end ones, i preferred the Bose
@falshami Unfortunately this professional is a professional lawyer and a stubborn one at that. I have installed three Bose Lifestyle systems for this guy in five years because they work for a year or so then they break or a speaker goes bad. that's the thing about Bose Lifestyle systems there's no fixing them without spending more than what they are worth, they are disposable. Every company does research it's just that most companies spend more money on quality materials.
@asatruviking Actually, we have a Bose Wave Radio and it has lasted 15 years. But of course, it's still not worth $300, and it is a Henry Kloss knockoff as you said.
@falkenlaser My mother has a Wave too. She didn't check with me first if she had I would have told her to get the Cambridge Soundworks table radio also based on the Kloss design and it's way more advanced with RDS and Video capabilities as well and it's a little less money too, sorry Bose. Also Kloss confounded C.S.W. with Tom DeVesto so they didn't steal the design like you know who. Kloss and DeVesto were also the men behind the tivoli radio, an other genius design in table radios.
@falshami Even counting all that it still doesn't warrant the Price that Bose asks for an under performing low quality product. I spent less on my entire system and it is way more advanced with better sound quality then any Bose. My system includes a Z-Wave whole home automation system. I can turn the lights on in my bedroom while turning off my system in the living room with the touch of a button. And soon I will be getting a schlage link system so I can lock my doors with my remote as well.
@asatruviking well then maybe a bose system isnt for you . simple as that, i dont claim bose to be the ebst, but bose isnt as bad as you say, they make some awesome stuff, but some people like to hate man, perhaps that is you , i see no reason for a bose vendetta.congrats on the z-wave
What you should talk about is how it is the only sound system the wife will allow them to put in the living room. Bose is famous for a sound, but it ain't a great one. Show us the "woofer" in that stupid base module. Show us what is inside those stupid cubes how about. Show us the cheap speaker wire. SHOW US SPECS. Show anything that proves that BOSE isn't the biggest rip in the world of audio. DON'T BUY BOSE. COMPARE FIRST ! ! !
@ArayKuu You don't need specs to know that Bose systems under perform. All you need are your ears. I have never heard a Bose system that impressed me. Don't take my word for it just check out all the professional and unbiased revues online they will tell you the truth. Here are a few fact I do know. The Acoustimass Module can only reach down to 40hz no matter how big the room. The Acoustimass also has to take care of all the midrange as well because the small speaker can't go that low.
@asatruviking no your right, i definitely should care about frequencies my ears cant physically hear.... we can hear roughly down to 35, and i tested the acoustimass module got the about 35, and by the way , the bass module is designed to play mids and lows, it has dedicated drivers for each inside the enclosure
It's 20 Hz. Look it up. Humans can hear 20 to 20,000 Hz. Anything 20 Hz and above the average human can hear. If you work in home theater, you should know this.
@falshami A bass module that plays mids... So that means that you get voices coming out of the corner of your room instead of the soundstage set up by the speakers.
@asatruviking its there company's philosophy , specs dont matter unless you understand what they mean , not everyone wants to deal with the frequency range of the speaker at a certain db to power ratio , and deal with the impedance of a speaker matching it to a receiver while making sure the wattage is correct as well, then figuring out of the THD percentage is low enough so you can crank it up. too many things and not everyone studied electrical engineering
The Bose are awful! At one time they made decent loudspeakers (601's and 901's); but today forget it. And the Acoustimass systems are terribly overpriced.
This video showcases three separate systems that come with a different number of speakers. The AM5 comes with two cubes, the AM10 comes with five, and the AM16 comes with six.
You cannot purchase the small cube speakers outside of one of these systems.
If you have any questions about these systems or are looking for speakers, call us, we'll be glad to help.
@crutchfieldtv............ i want to buy the 2.1 BOSE home theather cinematic II ,... but i wanna know if it works with a laptop toshiba satellite like speakers ... thank you .. im waiting ur answer :) grettings from montreal CAN
Well, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by satellite like speakers, but you can certainly connect this to any laptop with a standard audio output, you'll just need a mini-to-RCA cable to make the connection.
@mfahad You cannot customize Bose in any way including adding more speakers. What you get with the system is all you can use. you should look elsewhere for a good system for instance I have a traditional Receiver speaker setup with one modification I have a additional sub hooked up to my center speaker pre out so that my center channel has it's own sub. You can't do that with Bose.
If you like horrible sound at a high price, buy Bose! Take one of those cube speakers apart, look how cheaply it is made. Look at the super thin wire, hmmmm. They must be good, I paid a lot for this you'll say. The salesman said they were good, he wouldn't lie for a commission. Bose doesn't spend much time on specs, so you shouldn't either. Just accept you paid a lot and audiophiles are smirking behind your back.
hi i have the bose Acoustimass 10 -- (lifestyle 38) and im having a little trouble with it, i can get the middle speaker to work, and the sound is amazing however the two side speakers and the two rear speakers do not work, please could you guid me in to how i could get them to work (they are plugged in)

If you bought it from Crutchfield, you can call Tech Support at the number on your Crutchfield invoice. Im certain they can help with your question. One of the reasons to buy from Crutchfield.
If you bought it elsewhere, you can purchase our Tech Support. Call us for more details
I agree with everyone here that knows bose is just an expensive HTIB and I don't get why people defend them they should take the advise they get to look for another brand of speaker to get your monies worth unlike bose you are paying for the name that is it when you can buy a 400-500 dollar system and have more features then a bose system something is wrong and when people stick up for bose they say will it has good build quality of what cheap plastic and little paper cones any htib has??
The satellite speakers are simple paper cone drivers with no magnetic shielding and no integral crossover. The bass module uses multiple small bass drivers which limits its lower frequency handling.
All the specs you need to match this speaker system to a home theater receiver are provided on Crutchfield. More info than you can imagine really. Make sure to click on "Hands on Research" once you find this system on Crutchfield for all the nitty gritty type info.

@d0wglas777 Dont buy Bose, if you already have try to return them and get something else that is worth your money. Klipsch, Energy and Polk audio are fair priced brands that can deliver amazing audio as long as you purchase a decent A/V receiver. There is no such thing as clear sound when you talk about bose, no highs no lows, must be BOSE!
@d0wglas777 My best advice is "DON'T BUY PLASTIC AND PAPER" for their ridiculous price. Go to a reputable audio/video store and bring your favorite cd and audition systems in your price range. You should also go to forums like AVS forum and do a search on Bose and see what they say about this product.
I work for an electronics store and I had a customer come in looking for Bose speaker wire. I had to tell him that he was out of luck. I told him that unfortunately all of Bose products were proprietary including interconnects so he would have to go through Bose to get a replacement wire. He said that he talked to Bose and a new wire would cost him fifty bucks. FIFTY BUCKS!!!
yeah the problem with having cheaper subs is they dont sound as good. I have a 12" powered sony sub with more bass than my bose, but my bose sub has really nice sounding theatrical bass like what a movie theatre sounds like.and bose subs have a lpf crossover which is really nice
I say forget HTIB systems, a pair of large ass speakers with 12's in them are fine by me. Hell you won't even need that shitty little subwoofer that is only 5" in diamater lol.
PsilocybinDream, you must know absolutely nothing about home audio, and must enjoy getting ripped off. As everyone who has done a 10 second google search already knows, Bose sells inferior products at ridiculously high prices. You would never make that comment if you were informed.
Poor, poor, poor. Why are so many people stuck on price? They think that if they spend a lot of money that they get a lot of sound. Not true. Any cheap HTIB out there is just as good as any Bose system. As a matter of fact, they have more in common than people think. Cheap speakers and a crappy fake sounding subwoofers -- oh, sorry -- "bass modules." Any HTIB, including Bose, is okay for a bedroom, but not for a serious home theater.
My dream surround system is about $150,000, and I can barely come close to affording that. According to your theory, I should hate it. But, I don't. Not only that, my current surround system is worth about $2000; the same as Bose's Lifestyle 28 and V20, yet I hate Bose.
@falkenlaser -- It's not a matter of right and wrong. My opinion has nothing to do with your system. I was responding to the people who believe that cost dictates quality. They think that the only people who dislike Bose are people who couldn't afford to buy Bose. Can't they come up with a better argument than that? In fact, if anything, you've proven me right. Your system is worth the same as the Bose systems, yet you feel it's superior. My point exactly.
You're right; I should rephrase was I said. I should of said my system costs the same as a Bose system. Worth as much though, as in having the same performance, hell no. The Bose Lifestyle LS28 and V20 are worth about as much as a $400 HTiB system considering performance.
To the people who claim the "you can't afford it" argument, they obviously bought Bose for the name, and really couldn't care less about the sound quality. They just think if it's Bose, it automatically is going to sound good.
@falkenlaser I agree with you there. People who buy bose think that they are good because Sound and Vision magazine tells them so. What they don't know is that Sound and Vision magazine gets paid a lot of money by Bose to say so.
So arguing with these people is point less. also you can't customize bose systems either. For example I have a dedicated
subwoofer just for my center channel so I can run my center channel at full range,You can't do that with Bose.
I don't think S and V even reviews Bose. I'm sure they advertise it, though; which is the real reason people think Bose is good.
Bose has made it to where people recognize, through relentless marketing, deceptive in-store demos, high price, and brand recognition, that their stuff is good, and Bose knows there's people who will buy their stuff no matter what. So, they can make it has cheap and outdated as possible, and sell it at an insane price, for people will still buy it.
Bose says they're the #1 name in sound, and they are somewhat correct. The general public recognizes Bose as being "the best" based on the reasons I mentioned before. And, Bose can say their customers are very happy. BUT, Bose's customers are happy through "ignorance is bliss." Bose knows their systems lack current technology, but because Average Joe doesn't expect those things, Bose doesn't include them, yet they still charge the same price of other systems that have these technologies.
The only thing this people know is about marketing.Not really good quality of sound.Bose=piece of crap with $32 dollars driver sold to you at 2000 dollars.Welcome to bose crap.
depends on what you get, how you hook it up, and what YOU like. if some one likes the sound. leave them alone. their listening to what THEIR ears tell them
@roi432 Let me guess you got suckered into the Bose Marketing scheme right? Well I feel bad for you man but don't take it so hard. I had a buddy that almost fell for it. He went to buy a Bose Lifestyle system, but then the salesman showed him a klipsch system . He blind tested both systems guess which one he walked out with? I will give you a hint it didn't start with a B.
"It's so sad to see what passes as a home theater system these days. Mr. Kloss the grandfather of home theater must be rolling in his grave. Yes Henry Kloss not Amar Bose. Kloss was also the inventor of the first table top radio way before the Wave radio. It was called the model 88 tabletop radio. I urge anybody looking at the Wave radio to first look at the Cambridge Soundworks table radio it is way more advanced and less money. Kloss was also the inventor of the famed AR7 speakers.
@jlvsoundengineering Yeah man, its a shame that everyone is brainwashed by Bose adverts. Bose sucks but I'm not getting into that now. As everyone who isn't ignorant should know that by now.
@nformby yup.. u r right... but i wouldnt say "suck" i have a bose acoustimass system. it actually does not sound bad... is it the best??? not by a long shot.. could it have been cheaper??? yes. but as for brain washed....you are DEAD ON. i like my bose.. they do wat i want them to and arent hard on the ears.....but i CANT stand it when i hear someone say that "bose is the best"
hi,there i want to buy the acoustimass 10, do you deliver from other country, how much it will cost including the delivery,supposed here in dubai, bec. this item is very costly here, im hoping there is difference.. can i have your contact nos. also... TNX...
kEF definitely, they have tweeters in the satellites which extends there range and have real crossovers built in, and the subwoofer is much better, acoustimass sucks arse, when will Bose die already they are a shit aging german company that sound like rubish.
Actually Bose is from Massachusetts. Bose's founder, Amar Bose, was a prof at MIT. In fact, a former Bose salesperson told me the company is partially ran by MIT students. Now doesn't that ever give MIT a bad name or what!. And oh yes BTW Bose does suck. Check out my videos about Bose's speakers; you'll like them!
the Bose Acoustimass speaker systems do not use wireless speakers.
For help finding the right speaker system for you, you might want to have a conversation with one of our Advisors. They are trained to help you purchase the right product for your needs.
So when you call, have all your info handy, such as room size, the equipment you'll be connecting your new speakers to, speaker placement options, type of music/movies you'll be watching, etc.
So....first of all i can clearly assure you, that you are a complete IGNORANT in Audio/ Hi-Fi......i can easily tell it from your comment....second......you have completley No Idea of what Hi Fi is.......third and most important........my comment was only an attempt made for people like you.......who still didn't get the message.................so please mr. pogodrummer, before posting your pathethic opinion, try to learn something more about High Fidelity.
is there a way i can hook this up to a laptop?

Some of the most dreadful, overhyped, overpriced speakers available. Listen to any number of comparably priced full sized speakers from several companies blow Bose away. Just compare and you'll see. Bose shys away from comparisons---that's why you always see Bose speakers in stores setup well away from other products because they don't want it demonstrated how poor they are for the money.

@bboychi1 Did I say Bose Cubes were dreadful? I did say they were pleasant enough---but they ARE overpriced and do not live up to the marketing and hype they are imbued with. Overall, NOT good value for the money. All you need to do is attend a decent high end audio trade show to discover a level of audio reproduction realism you never knew existed.

Why do so many people that dont like Bose watching Bose videos? Fair enough we all have different tast but it people want to buy Bose its up to them. I have two pairs of Bose headphones and after reading poor reviews I decided to get some Grado's. I couldnt stand how bright they are and have now sold them. The point im trying to make is what one person hears is different to another, and I get tired of people saying "Bose suck" "Bose are not worth the money" but provide no evidence as to why?

@mutantenemy2008 people are jealous and they will go into detail why bose is no good. Like mid range, bass, too expensive etc. though at the end of the day theres something extra in these bose systems that excell above the rest. I personally wouldn't buy the speakers without the bose amp. u need the amp as they then bind together perfectly. The main aspect to prove the quality now and agin you can hear minute effects from songs that you never hear on headphones or other 5.1 systems. fact

@OrganNLou Hi, I just check B&W speaker here in YOUTUBE...i am sorry to disappoint you. That is not the quality of sounds i am looking for, the bass is pumping, no good it would only last for 3 to 5 years. My grandmas bose speaker is already 15 years and still nothing change of its quality. the sound of it is still superb. The B&W will torn apart bass because it keeps on pumping it will ripped off eventually specially on troprical places because the wheather is always hot, its not really for me.

@mutantenemy2008 I can..... Because thin plastic is a terrible enclosure material (flexible; colors the sound) and Bose apparently doesn't believe in tweeters, leaving a tiny 2.5 inch midish driver to cover the highs and lows, and everything else for that matter. The acoustimass can't produce sound bellow 40Hz, which doesn't qualify it as a subwoofer. Smaller speakers may look better, but acoustically, there's no replacement for large wooden encloses, tweeters, and proper sized drivers.

I am musician and I love music. I decided for an Acoustimass 10 Serie 4 System. Music room is 20m². When I installed it, I used a 15 year old Yamaha amplivier to my Bose. It sounded terribly, or lets say even bader as the old but good speakers. However, this was not what I expected from it...Then I used a YAMAHA RX-V 467 with subwoofer connector which is binding for listening to the wonderful sound which it has now! Not possible to describe how fuckin' great!!!! :) *****5 Stars! SOUND EXPERIENCE
Guenni2662 9 months ago
I've auditioned quite a number of system before I went for the Bose Acoustimass system. Those floor standing speakers with matching surround speaker and sub are nice but they don't give me that cinema like sound feeling, they sound like they're all mix together. I even returned an Infinity tower, sub and surround system because of this. With the Bose Acoustimass I can actually feel diffuse sound emanating from the tiny cubes and bass filling the room for that true 5.1 experience. Try it!

hereistand2008 1 year ago
@hereistand2008 Marketing. What other audio company runs TV and radio commercials, has advertisements in just about every magazine out there, and has tons of banners all around the internet? None. Because of this, people get more exposure to Bose than any other audio company out there (especially in its price range), and that's why Bose is so famous. And since people tend to go with brands they recognize, and Bose claims they're the best, that's why it's also very popular.

The drivers in the Bose cube speakers are worth around a buck each and the casings are around a buck as well. So 4x6=24 (two speakers per speaker unit). The Acoustimass has six of those drivers in it so that's six more dollars and the casing is worth around five bucks remember it's only plastic. So tally it up: 24+6+5=35 dollars The Bose Acoustimass16 costs 1,299.00 net profit for Bose 1,264.00. Feeling ripped off yet?

@asatruviking your right research ,development, other productions cost have no factor what so ever, the cost of employing people to build them, the price of selling them, opportunity cost of them , not a damn thing to do with price. did you study economics? how about industrial design? no? ok sounds good stop talking then. if you did study any of this you would know that. they may be a little over priced but all you do is bash

@falshami A little over priced? How about very over priced. Maybe Bose should spend less on research and more on their product. Then they might sound better than they do. Anybody with good hearing can tell the difference with out seeing the specs. That's why older folks buy Bose. Then you have professional people who are never home to hear them and they don't care how they sound they just buy them for the status thing. I did a Bose setup for a guy I never even met, his house keeper paid me.

@falshami Unfortunately this professional is a professional lawyer and a stubborn one at that. I have installed three Bose Lifestyle systems for this guy in five years because they work for a year or so then they break or a speaker goes bad. that's the thing about Bose Lifestyle systems there's no fixing them without spending more than what they are worth, they are disposable. Every company does research it's just that most companies spend more money on quality materials.

Also Kloss confounded C.S.W. with Tom DeVesto so they didn't steal the design like you know who. Kloss and DeVesto were also the men behind the tivoli radio, an other genius design in table radios.

Don't take my word for it just check out all the professional and unbiased revues online they will tell you the truth. Here are a few fact I do know. The Acoustimass Module can only reach down to 40hz no matter how big the room. The Acoustimass also has to take care of all the midrange as well because the small speaker can't go that low.
asatruviking 1 year ago
@asatruviking no your right, i definitely should care about frequencies my ears cant physically hear.... we can hear roughly down to 35, and i tested the acoustimass module got the about 35, and by the way , the bass module is designed to play mids and lows, it has dedicated drivers for each inside the enclosure

It's 20 Hz. Look it up. Humans can hear 20 to 20,000 Hz. Anything 20 Hz and above the average human can hear. If you work in home theater, you should know this.

You're right; I should rephrase was I said. I should of said my system costs the same as a Bose system. Worth as much though, as in having the same performance, hell no. The Bose Lifestyle LS28 and V20 are worth about as much as a $400 HTiB system considering performance.
To the people who claim the "you can't afford it" argument, they obviously bought Bose for the name, and really couldn't care less about the sound quality. They just think if it's Bose, it automatically is going to sound good.

@falkenlaser I agree with you there. People who buy bose think that they are good because Sound and Vision magazine tells them so. What they don't know is that Sound and Vision magazine gets paid a lot of money by Bose to say so.
So arguing with these people is point less. also you can't customize bose systems either. For example I have a dedicated
subwoofer just for my center channel so I can run my center channel at full range,You can't do that with Bose.
asatruviking 1 year ago
I don't think S and V even reviews Bose. I'm sure they advertise it, though; which is the real reason people think Bose is good.
Bose has made it to where people recognize, through relentless marketing, deceptive in-store demos, high price, and brand recognition, that their stuff is good, and Bose knows there's people who will buy their stuff no matter what. So, they can make it has cheap and outdated as possible, and sell it at an insane price, for people will still buy it.
falkenlaser 1 year ago
Bose says they're the #1 name in sound, and they are somewhat correct. The general public recognizes Bose as being "the best" based on the reasons I mentioned before. And, Bose can say their customers are very happy. BUT, Bose's customers are happy through "ignorance is bliss." Bose knows their systems lack current technology, but because Average Joe doesn't expect those things, Bose doesn't include them, yet they still charge the same price of other systems that have these technologies.

The only thing this people know is about marketing.Not really good quality of sound.Bose=piece of crap with $32 dollars driver sold to you at 2000 dollars.Welcome to bose crap.

depends on what you get, how you hook it up, and what YOU like. if some one likes the sound. leave them alone. their listening to what THEIR ears tell them

@roi432 Let me guess you got suckered into the Bose Marketing scheme right? Well I feel bad for you man but don't take it so hard. I had a buddy that almost fell for it. He went to buy a Bose Lifestyle system, but then the salesman showed him a klipsch system . He blind tested both systems guess which one he walked out with? I will give you a hint it didn't start with a B.

"It's so sad to see what passes as a home theater system these days. Mr. Kloss the grandfather of home theater must be rolling in his grave. Yes Henry Kloss not Amar Bose. Kloss was also the inventor of the first table top radio way before the Wave radio. It was called the model 88 tabletop radio. I urge anybody looking at the Wave radio to first look at the Cambridge Soundworks table radio it is way more advanced and less money. Kloss was also the inventor of the famed AR7 speakers.

they suck
you need an array of those, then a mid size sub, plus a main subfoower just to get a nice loud flat response undistorted sound
that mini speakers produce a 1k-9k ....thats's right you need a tweeter too.
i own these...as an engineer, they are to me for a computer system
jlvsoundengineering 2 years ago 12
@jlvsoundengineering Yeah man, its a shame that everyone is brainwashed by Bose adverts. Bose sucks but I'm not getting into that now. As everyone who isn't ignorant should know that by now.

kEF definitely, they have tweeters in the satellites which extends there range and have real crossovers built in, and the subwoofer is much better, acoustimass sucks arse, when will Bose die already they are a shit aging german company that sound like rubish.

Actually Bose is from Massachusetts. Bose's founder, Amar Bose, was a prof at MIT. In fact, a former Bose salesperson told me the company is partially ran by MIT students. Now doesn't that ever give MIT a bad name or what!. And oh yes BTW Bose does suck. Check out my videos about Bose's speakers; you'll like them!

antec12gtx260 2 years ago
Hi antec
the Bose Acoustimass speaker systems do not use wireless speakers.
For help finding the right speaker system for you, you might want to have a conversation with one of our Advisors. They are trained to help you purchase the right product for your needs.
So when you call, have all your info handy, such as room size, the equipment you'll be connecting your new speakers to, speaker placement options, type of music/movies you'll be watching, etc.
