Summary:
When I first heard them in the store, they didn't sound well due to poor displaying, but I figured since the hole required to mount them was much smaller then the other brands, I could always exchange them and make the whole bigger for others if I needed to. But I was quite impressed with the sound once I installed them at home, 500% better then at the storefront. The bass was rich, and the highs were undistorted. Of course the bass isn't as boomy as the other brands, but I noticed that the other brands distorted heavily when turned at high volumes due to the bass, so most likely I would have to have the bass turned all the way down with some of the other brands.

Strengths:
Very small hole required. Came with circle and square grills.

Weaknesses:
Not a lot of bass but the quality and no distortion made up for it.

Similar Products Used:
I auditioned Polk, JBL and Hometech inwalls.

Summary:
Typical Bose speaker. Excellent sound (to include bass) despite the incredibly compact dimensions. Almost didin't check them out based on the only two online reviews I could find, but am glad I did. Many listeners equate overpowering bass with the quality of the sound. If you belong to that crowd look elsewhere. These speakers were used in my basement finising project, and I utilized the rough-in kit. It would definitly be a job to install these in existing construction. The installation manual gives detailed instructions on how to cut thru walls and ceilings which should allow a knowlegeable do it yourselfer to handle it.

Strengths:
Size Sound Ease of installation (with rough in kit)

Weaknesses:
None found

Price Paid:  $350.00 from bose.com

Summary:
Other review is absolutely right. I got shafted! These speakers may be wonderful with a subwoofer, which I now have to purchase, but otherwise there is absolutely no bass. Awful, Awful purchase.

Strengths:
Fits well in wall, easy to install.

Weaknesses:
No bass whatsoever
