Bose Acoustimass 6 III Speaker System

Pros: Quality, quality, and more quality. Great sound!
Cons: none

While putting together my home theater system that I had already spent quite a bit on, I still needed a decent speaker system . I went to the store to see what was available, and that is where I and decided on purchasing the Bose Acoustimass 6 III ...

Pros: looks great, small size, good sound, good wiring included
Cons: no brackets

When putting together my surround sound system for my home, I had a dilemma. I already had a good receiver and CD player, along with a stereo VCR and television set. The only thing missing was a good set of surround speakers. There are so many choices...

Pros: Amazing Sound, Small and easily hidden, Price Tag, Quality.
Cons: Needs a HIGHER end reciever to take full advantage of its power.

To start, I’ll have you know that I have owned about 10 different surround sound systems in the last 9 years. Some of the brands to name a few are Harmon Kardon, Cerwin Vega, Polk, and Kenwood. Etc. To this date, I have never heard better sound then I...

Pros: Deep rich sounding bass with clear vocals. Tiny speakers.
Cons: Price a little on the high side

I remember it well, it was the late 80's, I was 19 years old, I had a good job and I wanted to spend my hard earned cash on a decent set of speakers. I had recently bought a top of the range Pioneer stacking system which I loved, but hated the massive ...

Pros: Big sound, small package
Cons: Not the best speakers in existence

So let's be honest. These are not high-end speakers. If you're the type who can rattle off the model numbers of your multi-thousand dollar system off the top of your head, these speakers probably aren't for you.

These speakers are for the...

Pros: Beautiful, space-saving -- and they really fill a room!
Cons: Expensive -- and with very 'flat' sound.

I love my Bose speakers! Admittedly, I've loved them less and less over the years, as my friends have bought speakers that sound better for less money. But, at root, I've never stopped loving the way they sound and the way they look. Every time I pack up...

Pros: Tiny footprint, classy looks, great sound
Cons: Expensive - not for bargain hunters

For the last 20 years I have had an assortment of floor-standing speakers as part of my audio systems. You know, the speakers that are 3-4 feet tall and 2 feet square, the kind that you need to arrange your...

Pros: Cool, little tiny speakers
Cons: Cool, little tiny speakers

Bose has developed a niche market with its Acoustimass product line, featuring tiny 3" high-end satellite drivers and a ported "mid woofer" in a separate cabinet. If Bose sold these things by the pound they'd be a pretty good deal....

Pros: Balanced near perfect surround sound
Cons: Expensive for what they are, and mounting brackets are not included

I have long been unhappy with my surround sound coming from my system that consists of Bose 601 main, Infinity center, Kenwood front effect, Pioneer rear speakers. I liked my old Bose 601's, but the rest were just mis-matched...all producing their own...

Pros: Elegant, inobtrusive, produces a broad sound stage.
Cons: Can get the same sound quality much cheaper by sacrificing style

Bose Acoustimass 6 speaker sets arouse strong passions in people, particularly audiophiles. The audiophiles point to the fact that for the money you can find speakers that sound far better, and this is certainly true. I've seen people suggest that...

Pros: Compact size, natural sound
Cons: May seem thin if your used to conventional systems

Okay. So let's say you've got a balls-out audio system with a Mercury Mosfet IV Quadio Quatra Qwirk 3000 watt 4 barrell amp pumping ten thousand watts into two eight foot tall Flemberg Aurora Borealis speakers. For what? How loud can you listen to a WWF...

Pros: none
Cons: everything

These speakers are not even worth listening to.

Great way to start a review, huh? I must say, when a friend insisted I listen to them, even after I informed him that they couldn't compare to a pair of REAL speakers (B&W DM302's, half the...

Pros: Size, Cost
Cons: "pointedness" of sound if poorly aimed, stands not included

Let me begin by noting that size, and -not- cost, mattered in our application. My SO and I believe we found that in the Bose Acoustimass 6 system <http://www.bose.com/home_audio/ht_speakers/am6/>.


Our living room is not amazingly...

Pros: Small, Sound good at low volume
Cons: to much $ for not enough sound, not a home theater by any marks

I decided that this product was so amazing that I would purchase a Bose home theater system. Who was I kidding? Myself evidently. Bose speakers sound great if the only thing you care about is subtle hints of music and ambient listening pleasure. Bose is...

Pros: None
Cons: You waste your money.

People must be kidding themselves when they expect a system like this to make a competent home theater system. If you like to hear music at its best in a narrow frequency range at low volume these are the speakers for you.

Its been a while...
