About The Product:
When it comes to impeccable sound quality and enhanced performance in a compact audio system, you can't go wrong with a Bose set-up. Bose Acoustimass 5 - Speaker System is one of Bose's most affordable next generation stereo speakers and works best in a regular sized room. It is also a perfect choice for your home cinema rear channel speakers and its small size are what sells it best.

Acoustimass technology delivers ear pleasing music and dramatic movie sounds in small cube speakers that you can easily hide from view.  Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays bring on lifelike sounds with a blend of direct and reflected sounds, just the way it is with live performances. This innovative Bose technology replicates how actual sound reaches your ears during a live performance and incorporates this into their speaker system. You can't really go wrong with a Bose - they've earned the reputation of being one of the very best when it comes to speaker systems.

Our Verdict:

The small form factor and the loud enough sounds of the Bose Acoustimass 5 - Speaker System is a perfect pick for a home entertainment system set-up, especially if you live in a regular sized home.  It really depends on your sound preference - if you're one for loud, rocking music, then this system will seem lacking for you. But if you're after sound quality at an affordable price level, the Bose Accoustimass distributes different sound elements so well you'll think you're at a live performance when you shut your eyes!  And it works equally great for your home theater set-up functioning as rear speakers... sounds are so naturally balanced it feels everything is happening just around you!

I can't understand why people are saying there is no bass.... Well I have ears, and years of music listening experience. The results are amazing. The most impressive is that I have the sensation of presence of musicians performing in the room.

"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."

"I've owned my AM5's for over 10 years and they still kick. From low to ear-bleeding volume they still sound great; and, are easily hidden. Hide the mid-woofer, mount the drivers on the wall, and enjoy an uncluttered house with awesome sound."

"
This Bose system can easily handle the power necessary to fill a 1,000 to 4,000 sq ft auditorium with adequate sound. And the sound quality is perfect, as I have always found. ...A lot of quality sound from a small, transportable system."
