Bottom Line: Well, i bought these because I got a god deal on them....100 off the sticker....but I would gladly pay the full price. I have them at my cottage hooked up to a RCA RT2500 stereo reciever and everything I play is crystal clear no matter how load you want......Last month I had a guy from across the lake come over and complain about things being to load.....Following a few beers and showing him my outdoor cottage system....4 of the 251's.....he now has his own pair.

Bottom Line: Great speakers! Great sound! I have a pare of Polk Audio AW M3 Speakers and I recently put them up against the new Bose 251. No comparison, the 251s blew them off my house and into the garage sale. Do yourself a favor and purchase good speakers once. My 901s rock the inside as the 251s rock the wilderness.

Bottom Line: I bought these NEW 15 years ago @ some electronics store now defunct.
Knew NOTHING about Bose...BUT great looks for tower speakers and Bose had the name and good reputation. At any rate, I am writing because for 14.5 years I never really listened to these speakers.
For Christmas, my brother bought me a vintage Dynaco Stereo 70 amplifier and PAS III PRE AMP. Also, a Thorens 125 MKII turntable. All vintage components, all reconditioned to like new status. My brother said I should invest in some quality speakers for my new system, Triangles or some other. He said Bose speakers are junk.
Well we hooked all the vintage gear up to the Bose 10.2's...my jaw dropped to the floor(so did my brother's)when we heard
the prestine sound...It was like a whole new world opened up! The 10.2 speakers(pre Dyanaco system) sounded like they were under a blanket. Suddenly I'm listening to crystal clear highs/mid ranges and deep, rich bass. All in all
beautiful sounding speakers!
Say what you will about current quality of
Bose Speakers. The 10.2'Series were built
to last! 15 years on...they sound(finally) amazing to me.

Bottom Line: These things sound great and I've gotten many complements on them.They are a little limited in the bass they put out but overall they sound really good,I guess it's because the size.I put them out on my covered patio which is 25x23 with a 9' ceiling and they really fill it with great sound.It seems the further you move away from them the better they sound because the drivers don't face straight ahead but are turned different directions filling the area with great sound.Anyone that tells you your just buying a name with Bose should really sit down and take a good listening.

Bottom Line: As these were meant to be used outdoors, I never got around to putting up the brackets and running ridiculous amounts of speaker wire through my house and vinyl siding..So I decided to put them in my living room and connect them to my newly acquired Technics Sa-Sa20N Receiver...The sound for what it is- an outdoor speaker-is great...As far as bass, its minimal which should be improved upon if these are meant to spread over an outdoor setting...The highs are good, but overpower with the lack of bass...Then again it could be my "DVD Audio" ready receiver.
