These bookshelf speakers are thebomb. They bring every sound in my home theater to life. They are matched with mid and back Bose speakers to complete a 7.1 system and an incredible Polk center speaker.

Bose has floored me again. To make it short and sweet you will not be disappointed. These 2 compact speakers produce major bass and crystal clear mids and highs. Low volume or high, these speakers are amazing!!!

this set of speakers is truly the best purchase i have made as far as bookshelf speakers go i honestly did not expect these speakers to sound or handle as well as they do i can not turn my system up as loud as it will go because there is honestly no end to the power handeling performance that they have also i was kind of surprised that they really were cost effective as far as building my system in seperate units and you can place them most anywhere in the room and they really do sound extremely larger than they really are something to look forward to in the future is my next purchase of bose speakers wich will more than likely be the 301 sreies V Direct wich is the next step up from the 201 series V Direct speakers wich i am currently writing about they are truly great sounding and really handsome speakers

I am very happy with the Bose 201's and have been using them a lot. Sound-wise, they are sized well for being centrally located in my home providing music to an open-plan living room, dining room & kitchen. I am not an expert, but I have been very happy with the sound quality as well. Aesthetically, my wife and I disagree. I think they are fine and unobtrusive on top of a long 7' tall cabinet. She thinks they are too large and draw the eye. (We also looked at the Bose 161's but she was concerned their output would be insufficient for our space.) I am happy with my purchase and would recommend these speakers.

The speakers work well with the amp. Easy installation. Bluetooth feature an added bonus. Decent sound for speaker size...
