Good Points: Brand recognition
Bad Points: Sounds weird and doesn't portray my music faithfully
General comments: These Bose Accoustimass sound really weird as though the music is stuck inside and then spread out all over the wall. Also there's like a low frequency undertone being added to the music. I guess it's great for background elevator music but for not much else. Definitely a no-no.

the best part of Bose AM 5 is that you get to hear both the speakers equally no matter where I sit in my living room.. Its just mind blowing any song you play is just awesome
I think People who value good quality music and unerstand quality should only buy Bose coz they understand the is Bose

1. I was a professional sound engineer (studio & live) for 17 years and also played keyboards professionally for many years. 2. I now own a music company providing CD and Digital jukeboxes and sound systems to bars and taverns throughout the Northeast. 3. I was anti Bose (price vs sound) for better than 2 decades! I've used numerous professional and extreme high end products in my work including studio monitors and live sound speaker arrays. Stereo imaging and clear, "pleasing to the ear" s ...

Bose's research on audio, and open real explanation of the hidden reality of nature, and how scientific audio reproduction has been achieved through painstaking research is a commendable practical feat to experience for mankind in the privacy of their homes through bose audio systems. Produces deep bass without distortion and booming. Gives the listener real stereo effects. Sound seems to come from small speakers. Speakers are lasting. Fit and forget, cleaning is the only maintainence. Suits ...

I have owned a set of AC5's for a few years now and reading through some of the earlier comments on here just makes me laugh.
If you read back some of the criticism's you will find that they tend to contradict one another. For example, how many negative reviews have said that there is no bass yet there are plenty of negative reviews also saying the bass is boomy or uncontrolled? See what I mean, they both can't be right, is there bass or isn't there? One of them must be wrong. Do the alar ...

Go listen to a live concert and then come back to compare speakers while your ears can still remember what live music sounds like...Even better,listen to live piano and then compare...Not too many speakers on the market can recreate similar sound and none under 3000.00$. Stop comparing speakers like pioneer,Sony,Panasonic and all the like...they all sound the same and they sound crappy. First,you need an excellent source and everything else after that,all the way to the speakers. Good luck.

It stands above the rest, for music and movies alike. Great sound fills up the space around you and you can feel it as much as hear it. This was on a Sony Amp and I was told the Yamaha amps are better. May be this christmas I will know?

Spend your money on power amps and good speakers. If you are so worried about cables on the ground then research wireless technology for your quality speakers.

I have gone through a plethora of speakers...from original AR's, Epi's, Boston Acoustics to store brands, and finally building my own. With computer program assistance, a friend and myself were able to build some pretty impressive units. As I got older and my music taste changed and I wanted to listen to music for extended periods for ballroom dancing, talk radio and background music...it was difficult to listen to many of the systems I have for extended periods. There extended range was too fat ...

Amazing sound quality, great sound stage presence. I've owned Lot's of other sound equipment, including various configurations of 5.1 to 7.1. These are some of the best sounding speakers I've heard, and I have read dozens of negative reviews about the poor build and sound quality. For around $900.00 the Bose Accoustimass speakers do pretty well. I have them mated with an H.K. receiver, so that could be the issue with others and their poor sound experience. I've also heard that there are better v ...

I was suckered by inexperience and advertising.
These are way off price. There is no mid-rang, and the Bose Accoustimass stereo speakers have flat highs and muddy lows.

Bose Acoustmass speakers redefine the concept of speaker construction from big, bulky cupboards to small, cube boxes as small as a standard coffee mug. Yet the sound that these small cubes and their bass module can put out is just unbelievable!
Many of my friends, when they first heard my system, said their ears and eyes couldn't agree and they claimed that I was hiding some bigger speakers somewhere in the house. I let them look everywhere in the house to prove them otherwise. What impressed th ...

Contrary to all my past habits and advice to others, I bought a set of speakers (on the net) without hearing them, AND after reading the various mixed reviews from around the world, I simply relied on the reputation of BOSE - and the fact that I heard the original Acoustimass-3 equivalent some 20 years ago. I have been something of a hifi enthusiast since the late sixties - not an expert mind you, but someone who knows a nice sound when he hears it.
Some hate Acoustimass 5's and some love the ...

Bose Lifestyle 48 system dual voltage and region code 2.
The system is amazing, it comes with 340 hours of music whcih you can download to the system itself without having to play the CD. It already has the names of the musci titles, the album and the songs in the system which can be update from the software company.
The system is expandable to more rooms then most people have in their house and kicks out EXCELLENT SOUND.
I give my system 10/10.
Great job Bose.

Bought these Bose Accoustimass because of size and originally as a compromise from my big speakers. I am glad I got them though as they are amazing. Base could be a little deeper but soundstaging is excellent.

I have owned these Bose speakers for 12 years. I've never been more pleased with somethiing I've bought. Everything I desire from a speaker (for home), it delivers. For a speaker that is a a grandfather compared to the ones on the market today, it'll still wipe the floor with the majority. Also,look at your home cinema sound system, where have they got the design from? If every manufacturer is imitating these, there must be certain attribute to the design. Bose is a market leader, and has few co ...
