All user reviews for the Bose Acoustimass 5 Serie II

I used these speakers in a showroom of 250 m2 and in this use, the side "well distributed" is very interesting.

However, I tested my home and my columns in comparison to JBL (2 woofer, a midrange and a tweeter, speakers purchased 15 years ago about 350-400 euro per pair) the sound really sucks. Yet I have tried several styles of music (Jamiroquai, the rock genre vieu Bob Seger, the Daft Punk, the Air) and in all cases of figure, my modest JBL sounded better: On my JBL, more body, bass deeper and more striking (though I thought that on this point would Boses the top, but far from it), his best defined in the midrange and treble. My JBL directives are actually more but the obvious loss of sound quality was not an option.

So, apart for a small room music well distributed (handy for a dinner for example, or in a store), I strongly recommend these speakers. I put 3 / 10 for his interest in the store (but it's worth no more than one for listening quality).

Note that I am not part of the "clan anti-Bose" just because I use this brand in my band, but with products for semi-pro (Bose L1).

I use this system for about 4 years, I bought OCCAZ, it must be 15 years ...
Bose has invented what is pompously called the "2.1", the fact is that very point.
There will always be people who say that the sound is distorted, that lack of media, but in any case the report made / size is incredible. One has the impression that the bass comes from these tiny speakers ...
In summary, a very compact system that will please his lady and a great bass with the neighbors to yell. The acoustimass 5 series 2 even more of a respectable age, is still compares favorably with other systems 2.1 that is now on the market. And looking on the box, yes there is only one hole, not a basic bass-reflex ...
