Bose Acoustimass 5

The Bose Acoustimass 5s are a set of home theater and general home listening speakers.  It has two smaller speakers and then has a large sub woofer.  While I don't own these speakers, I have heard them used a number of times at a friends house for testing out mixes and for general listening.  Like all Bose products, the Acoustimass 5s definitely have the 'Bose' sound as they have certain similar sound qualities to other Bose products which has become a distinct type of sound from them.  The low end on these is proably the best feature as it really covers the whole low end quite well and then some.  While I do like the sound that they have as it is quite rich with a lot of low end, they aren't like all speakers and I would encourage those interested to listen to them and other Brands of speakers like best to see what will suite your taste.  This being said, I think that most people will generally like the sound of the Bose Acoustimass 5s.  They are great for a variety of applications including listening to music or for general home theater and TV use.  The price isn't too bad on these speakers but it is somewhat expensive as it is a Bose product and is what I have come to expect from the company.  While I like them I probably wouldn't buy them as I have studio speakers that I use for listening and doing work on.  These speakers are definitely not suitable for any sort of recording use and should be used strictly for home use.  These are a nice set of speakers but definitely shop around within Bose's catalog as well as other brands to see what works best for you as everyone is different.  The low end on these is proably the best feature as it really covers the whole low end quite well and then some.

I bought the Bose AM5 first version in 1995. In my small room it was really incredible and in my first show as a young adult. After I switched to more audiophile and we must recognize that the Bose speakers are more spectacular qu'audiophiles: nevertheless, they have incredible qualities including: A monstrous fish, made a flattering, especially ... a life insane. My box eventually give up the ghost because objects that my children have seen fit to introduce it. But my satellite, now coupled with a subwoofer Jamo, are always spotless and sonorisent my home studio and my Mac for years.
In hard-fi, combined with good electronics, I would recommend instead of conventional speakers. For me, the ProAc column associated with an amp Euphya, killing one.
