Strength:
Sounds great to me!
Weakness:
Dont know what all the fuss is about? I have these hooked to my home theater and I have loved them. I also have a seperate subwoofer that I already had, connected to the receiver, so that adds bass. To me, they just sound great! And neighbors always comment on the great sound without knowing what type speakers I have. They just like what they hear. They are connected to a Sony 333ES. The sound I get is extremely clear and crisp. Especially with spoken audio or the voice in music. I would not give them up for anything! Placement and angle also can greatly improve/degrade the sound field. (And I dont work for Bose, own stock or have a father that owns them, really!) Similar Products Used: Polk, Sony, RCA, KLH (owned). Listened first to - Infinity, BA, Klipsch. |

Strength:
Compact size, great for watching DVD and videotapes
Weakness:
PRICE, wish it could have more bass, not that great for music Bought these because space is a premium in my living room. I am satisfied with the sound. I like the compact sound cubes, easy to integrate into my living room. Although I have a weak understanding of physics, I know it is too much to ask those small (2") drivers to deliver more midrange sound. You would need drivers about twice or 3 times as big to produce more midrange. In other words, these speakers perform as designed. |

Interesting bookends (no, wait...too light!)
Weakness:
Pick. I was just rambling through the reviews and spotted Andy's from a few months back. I am SERIOUS when I say that this site has to start monitoring posts! You have to sound remotely educated to post on this site! Paper cones = a more natural sound? Jesus! This product is so obviously cheap, a ripoff and yes- an INSULT to the intelligences of the buyers out there. This is not quality, guys! You are paying an extraordinary amount of money (given what you receive) for what amounts to the same speakers that are in the boombox in the kitchen. In fact, that would probably sound better, because the speakers in that case are designed to be full-range. I realize people like Andy try to come in and disturb the peace with posts like that. He knows he'll get us all ranting; in fact, he probably works at the site. But really, $900 for paper and plastic? That's like spending $50,000 on a Toyota.

Strength:
None that i can think of. Unless you want to fool yourself into believing that these are good speakers or justify your mistake by giving it 5 stars
Weakness:
Lots.... I used to be a great fan of Bose. I admire the technology and genius that went into the Wave radio/CD and their ability to create "Simulated" sound with the cubes. |

Strength:
small
Weakness:
none Great speakers for their size. Excellent highs,not to harsh at all. Can listen for hours and not get ear fatigue,like with the other named speakers.Great for movies and music.Now for Alan,get a life,if you had a job you wouldn't be able to sit around all day and bash other pieces of equipment,which by the way you probably never owned.If you had a job maybe you could afford the bose and see that they really are great speakers.

Casual Listener
Strength:
Size is only strength. Nothing else
Weakness:
1st off bass, my mini system for my bedroom sounds tighter and deeper than the bose. Mid's are non existant I am casual listener mbut like my bass. I listen to R&B, Jazz and Hip Hop. I was dissapointed when i hooke dup muy bose am 10's for the first time. I even went and bought subwoofer to see how they would balance out. My existing 7 year old speakers sound better than these bose. I have 12" cerwin vegas for front speakers, JBL surround speakers, and an infinity center speaker and combined with the new subwoofer i bought they sound awsome compared to the bose. You are basically paying for the bose name instead of high quality product. Defineltely a no win situation if oyu buy these speakers. Waste of money and time o set them up. |

Bass,Size and sound.
Weakness:
none why do so many people hate bose? most of the reviews here are from people who claim to own bose speakers but really do not. yes they have paper cones, so what they sound better! go to the crutchfield web site, thier experts pick this bose system as the best sounding. if you do not own the speakers and have an honest review why keep putting your bogus reviews here. people come here for honest advice!
