Highly recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.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.

excellent sound for such a small unit
Posted .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

Amazing Speakers
Posted .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!!!

Speakers sound great!
||Posted .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.

Best sounding speakers in their price range!
||Posted .I came into Best Buy to purchase speakers for my 21 year old son. He knows NOTHING about good speakers...so I decided to A/B some pioneer, panasonic, and 2 other off-brand speakers with the BOSE. NO comparison. WIder separation...better clarity...less 'muddy' sounding...and just crystal clear highs, with great lows. These are some of BOSE's less-expensive speakers, at around $200...but are the best sounding in the price range. Get them. You WON'T be disappointed!

Sonically Excellent
||Posted .This were purchased to replace some dry rotted rear speakers that I've had since the 90's. They are a great sonic match to the Bose speakers that I'm using for the fronts. My comment about the weight really isn't an issue. I believe it would not be possible to have the sound quality, that these have, with a lesser weight. The old wall stands are holding up so it's not a problem.

Great sound and easy to hook up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.After removing old speakers (noting polarity), I found it very easy to insert old speaker wires into the new speakers. I turned on the stereo and enjoyed the clean crisp sound with plenty of good bass. Great speakers. I wished I would have replaced my old speakers sooner!

Q: QuestionWill it plug directly into your TV?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The correct answer depends on the TV. All speakers require some type of amplifier to drive them. Bose 201 speakers require an external amplifier because they have no internal amplifier. You can connect Bose 201 speakers directly to your TV if your TV has speaker-level outputs from its internal amplifier. I haven't seen a TV with speaker-level outputs in a long time. The simplest generalized answer is: you probably can't connect Bose 201 speakers directly to your TV.

Q: QuestionWith Bose 201 v series can I use my existing subwoofer or is the built in woofer enough for a surround sound system?
Asked by Lcall60.
- A:Answer Hello! The 201 and 301 speakers are designed to work with a variety of stereo receivers and amplifiers as either front or rear channel speakers. Whilst we don't know exactly what subwoofer you're referring to here, as long as this is connected to your receiver/amplifier this should correctly act as the bass module in this system. The bass should be full and natural from the speakers themselves, but are not aimed at being the sole source of bass in a setup. If you have further questions about this system, please get back to us so we can assist further!
