great company pleasure to deal with

Super

Easy to angle to the main listening position using Bose brackets in my 7.2.4 ATMOS home theatre system - sounds great !

Total rip off from Peifinator's Treasures. They charged me 21 bucks just for removing the bubble wraps around the speakers. I put it back and returned it and they still charged 21 bucks. They didn't send me audio cables and I am not able to use the speakers. So be ware before you buy anything from Peifinator's Treasures

Installed in my boat. While they are not waterproof, they are not in an area that would get wet. And boy do they sound good. So much better than the little plastic speakers that sound like little plastic speakers.

Habe diese Lautsprecher gekauft um meine defekten B&O Boxen zu ersetzen. Lieferung erfolgte schnell und gut verpackt.Preis - Leistung in Ordnung! Super Klang, aktiver Subwoofer sollte jedoch vorhanden sein.

Habitué a du très bon son avec de multiples ensembles HIFI , ces deux petites enceintes m'impressionnent ... D'abord par la précision du rendu , le son est cristallin , pure . La spatialisation est excellente avec une grande profondeur . Pour les basses ça dépend de vos attente , elles percutent pas le plexus mais sont bien présentes ( après rodage ) , ma précédente configuration comportait un subwoofer mais la bizzarement je n'en ressens pas le besoin tellement l'ensemble est homogène . Le seul reproche que je peux faire c'est a propos des borniers un peu cheap ... Mais bon ... Franchement allez y les yeux fermés surtout pour un prix aussi abordable .

Bought a pair of these to upgrade an a tired old set of front speakers on my secondary system. It is used on a 5.1 system in our family room, both for TV/movies and stereo audio. I bought them after dragging out my old turntable and vinyl collection and found the old speakers inadequate. They sound great for this use, and I will probably buy another pair for the rears.They are running off of a fairly old Denon receiver, and are paired with a Yamaha Sub, center and rears. I was able to mount them easily on my old wall mounts, but they also come with mounting hardware.The highs are much crisper and clearer than the old Yamahas (the “Bose” sound). With my existing sub they sound great. The Denon Audyssey set the crossover at 150hz. The bass complimented by the sub is strong and tight but I would not want to run these without a sub and have any expectation of punch.In 5.1 mode they image great, and produce a consistent sound throughout an odd shaped room.If you like the sound of Bose products, you will very much like the sound of these. At this price they are a very worthy upgrade to a casual use home theater system or stereo. They won’t match up to audiophile large speakers, but they perform well in a small easy to place package.

I get a kick out of questions that think these speakers have bluetooth or an amp built in. But they are designed like old school bookshelf speakers. They need some form of amplification and your home theater receiver would work perfect. You could also use them with a bookshelf stereo receiver and whatever you drive them with, they are very flexible. They include buttons for the bottom or sides to place them on a shelf. The nicest thing about these is using the wall mount. Lots of adjustment when mounted vertically or horizontally and even include screws for the most common mounting substrates. I bought the white ones since my walls are white.Right now, I'm using on my computer that is being used as a home theater. Originally I was using a set of speakers that sounded just fine but wanted a different mounting configuration. They replaced a set of speakers that were Amazon Choice ones and a bit less expensive but when I hooked up the Bose 161's there was a real sound difference.The first difference was that voices were "muddy" on my old speakers in comparison to the Bose. So much so, that I found that I did not need the volume turned up as much on a typical movie or TV show. I know that some of the Bose TV sound systems/sound bars promote that as a feature. Even with these budget speakers, it's evident that it's part of the Bose sound and one I do like.Second of all, my older speakers had fine separation from right to left. Same a pretty much every bookshelf speaker out there. The Bose 161's seemed to give the same separation but sounds were more localised. Kind of hard to describe, but had a more 3D where you could point at the sound and my ears and eyes can follow the motion in an action movie. And even the depth to a show that I had never found with my old speakers or any other ones I have. It was a surprise which makes every show just a bit more enjoyable.Now, I know everybody wants a speaker with a lot of low end bass. And if that's what you want, you should have the equalization knobs on your receiver for that or in your device manager on your computer to get the sound you need. Out of the box, these Bose speakers are going to give you a natural sound. You can adjust frequencies as you need with the option of adding a subwoofer to your system. But on their own, they are not going to shake your room or get you tossed from your apartment. But I don't think they were ever designed to be a 901 or 602 replacement. Those are definite lease busters and need an amp to back them up. These are a quality speaker system for home and home theater use. Priced right with the flexibility to position them where you want. Also no need for speaker stands and mounting is included. All you need to buy is speaker wire. Most likely since Bose didn't know the length or color you need.I hope you get a chance to listen to these Bose speakers and add them to you home theater. I've been using them for about a month and a half and pleased with them. The only downside is that the other speakers I have are going to need to be replaced. Since I have 3 subwoofers kick'n around here, this could get pricey.

Las compré para los canales traseros (surround) de mi teatro en casa y estoy muy a gusto. Estas bocinas no tienen mucho bajo, lo cual es normal por su tamaño. Algo que si me costó trabajo fue colocarlas en la pared, ya que forzosamente tienes que taladrar la pared. No hay forma de poner unos clavos y colgarlas nada más; puedes buscar el manual en internet para darte una idea. Fuera de eso, el sonido es bueno. Se escucha fino y claro. Los graves los compenso con los canales frontales y el subwoofer. Y visualmente se ven modernas y elegantes, además de la marca, Bosé.

Yo lo tengo con mi equipo 5.1 y he notado una mejora del equìpo notable, añadir que el precio es muy bueno y la calidad tambien. No suenan a lata como se comenta en la opinion de otro comprador, creo que eso depende del equipo que tengas y como lo tengas configurado.

I just did my HT setup...Man i cant sing enough praises for all the components... I don't get the muted sounds on Bose claim.. i can hear everything loud n clear... each dialogue is as clear as it gets...don't have to strain to hear em anymore... The tonality of the mid range... to the sharpness of the highs... its just beautiful.201's are a bit bigger than i thought they would be... but look amazing once set up... and sound real good too... They dont have enough base you say... n i'd raise my sub to you (albeit briefly... it's heavy you know ;) )but what clarity of sound.... it really makes the sound pop...All the Bose's put together make a real good sound stage.Now on to the non bose components...Kudos to Polk audio for the woofer... it's a bit too loud for my taste... so its turned down to about 1/3'rd of its max o/p...but amazing difference the 12" sub makes.Setting up was a real breeze... plugged in the lfe n adjusted the volume to my taste...The Onkyo receiver is a real amazing piece o tech for its price... Audessy 2EQ (the auto sound setup) is really easy to do... sets up the speakers just right... i tried tweaking my setup...but outside the sub (set to put out a wee bit too much) it had everything nailed...Just an FYI... my living room is 15" x 15"
