Bose - Acoustimass Speaker System - Black

The Speakers working great, but I'm not able to connect the surround speakers because those cables provided come wrong. The manual says that should be 50 feet to reach the back speakears, and all what I have are just 6 feet cables.

I couldn't ask for more... literaly. This system has been a dream of mine for quite some time and now it is in my house and half the time I don't have to go above 60% volume because it is already loud enough for my neighbors to hear. I love the small but powerfull speakers because they can easily be acomodated and strategically hidden away. My rear speakers are rarely noticed by my guests and family unless a have a game or movie playing. The bass/amplifier module is powerfull enough to make my walls vibrate and the entire room shake with the explosions and music. I have my system set up in my livingroom wich is 15ftwide x 23ft long but the BOSE Accoustimass 10 system could easily handle a much larger room. The only negative I can give this product, although it isn't really ralated to the quality of the product itself, is that there are no brackets or stands included. That was no problem for me and I'm sure for most of you this wont be either as there are countless speaker brackets on the market. The five satelite speakers where a little heavier than what I expected but that is do to the fact that they have quality materials built into them and that is just great. This system not only replaced my older surround sound system but crushed it and the best part is now I don't have to worry about large tower speakers cluttering my livingroom space. I watch at least 4 to 6 movies per week and the bose system delivers clear, loud vocals and sound effects. I also use this system with my gaming console and it is just a great experience for me and my firends. For those of you who want this product but are hesitating or doubting because of the negative reviews, don't listen to them, they're probably reviewing the wrong product, haha. Invest in this Bose Acoustimass 10 system and you will be rewarded with years of loud, clear, incredible entertainment.

I am neither a tech savvy nor an audio professional, but these BOSE speakers are AWESOME for gaming. Installation was fairly easy once I bought the speakers wall mounts. What is so awesome… Superior sound quality, voices, special effects in game music (MW Fans… Footsteps sound like if they are in your room) Did some testing with HALO 3, Gears 3, Ace Combat 7 and MW3… OMG!!! EPIC The construction of the speakers is of high quality and the sub woofer is very powerful. The BOSE Acoustimass 10 features 4 “double” speakers that swivel in order to achieve maximum surround effects. You will need a receiver, I chose Yamaha RX-V371 because of the HDMI capability and due to the fair price (although the remote is a little ugly and has a ridiculous amount of buttons) Also, is iPhone/iPod ready thru USB. Installation, piece of cake… If your TV is a newer model, you can connect a single HDMI from the receiver to the TV and all other connections to the receiver (DVD, Apple TV, Cable Box, XBOX etc). This setup is fantastic for those who run cables inside the walls. Then, turn the TV on and switch the source directly from the receiver. Connections to the sub woofer are not challenging as they are color coded and the open wire end is marked for your convenience, if you’re organized with cables keep it neat because BOSE is very generous about the cable lenght (you won’t need to buy cable unless you live in a football field) Overall, this is the best set I have ever owned. If you’re saving to buy a speaker set, make a little bit more effort. There is no possible way to go wrong with this product. Thank you Best Buy for having everything I needed on the spot.

I have been wanting a Bose Acoustimass system for years. I listened to the Bose haters and initially got a Sony HTIB, then Panasonic HTIB neither lived up to my expectations of home theater. Then I tried the Def Tech 600, and 800, mirage nanostats, and the Klipsch quintet. These were great for music but lacking for movies and video games. I finally went for the Bose Acoustimass 10 with Onkyo 509 and I need plastic surgery to get the smile off my face. I haven't even tweeked the onkyo 509 settings yet. The Bose Acoustimass 10 is the best sounding 5.1 package out there when considering the speaker size. The energy takes sounded very close to the Bose but the speakers are too large for my wife pleasing decor. Of course you could blow the Bose Acoustimass away with decent floor standing speakers and a center channel that requires its own power along with a 1500 watt sub. But you will spending a lot more money and losing living space.

My wife and I were looking to get away from our old cerwin vega 12" floor speakers and use cubes in the living room but still wanted big sound and the bose system was capable of that. I knew from experience of 15 years as a car and home audio installer that bose systems would sound good no matter how our living room was setup for speaker placement. I have had to set up many a speaker system that has to be perfectly placed and have the speakers directed correctly to sound good. That one great thing about bose systems. the acoustic characteristics allow for good sound in a room with furniture and less then ideal speaker placement. What is strange is the wiring system. all wires run in a harness to the sub-woofer from the receiver and then run to the individual speakers. This must be for crossover control of the cube speakers, but is strange and adds a lot of wire. Our system has been in now for 3 months and works and sounds great.

Are there better sounding systems out there? Yes. Are there better sounding systems of this size? No. Bose speaker systems deliver an excellent compromise between size/style and sound. Dont get me wrong, these speakers sound excellent. They have the tremendous power and sound quality that you'd expect from Bose. They do exactly what I wanted - to provide premium sound in my living room without obtrusive speakers. People often complain that there are better sounding speakers. But you cant compare apples to oranges. Of course a pair of floor standing speakers for $1000 will sound better than these. But that's not the point of this system. If you're looking for great sound in a compact setup, then you won't find anything better than these. Setup was a breeze. Everything was color coded and labeled clearly. I'd say it only took about 30 minutes.

This system provides clear powerful sound coupled with my Onkyo AV unit. Although this system was in the 1,000.00 range its worth every penny. The bookshelf speakers are great. They blend in and the swivel of the speakers allows for them to be positioned in 2 different directions ensuring full coverage of the room. This system is everything that Bose is supposed to be. I am very happy with this system.

I spent considerable time researching and visiting places I could hear what I wanted from a sound system. The BOSE Acoustamass 10 series IV Home Entertainment System was, by my understanding the best there is; but, I wondered whether that was hype and the publicity machine doing what it was supposed to do. I also purchased a Pioneer VSX-82TXS-S ELITE Receiver to compliment and complete my sound system. (The list price is $1200 but you can use this site and get it for $800)Well,I bit the bullet and made the decision to buy the BOSE Accoustamas: WOW, it surpassed all my expectations and any doubts I had about the hype were blown away. This system is fantastic in every way, easy to set up and add to the receiver. The quality of the reproduction is superb in all areas of sound reproduction from listening to a movie on THX to a song. You will not be disappointed in this product. It looks good, not intrusive and the price is worth every $.I would most certainly recommend that you also invest in a quality receiver to go with BOSE. Again buy this, you will not be disappointed. (A note: I wanted to put my rear speakers on a stand and I found the BOSE stand to be too short for my location, but, you can shop around and get a stand of the same quality which gives you a little more height).
