    I bought these speakers to use in two rooms of my house to provide surround sound. The sound quality is great and the small size allows the speaker to be mounted on the wall discretely. The only issue I encountered was the mounting hardware included does not allow the range of tilt I needed in some areas. So I ended up having to purchase additional hardware. Being on the low end of the Bose price range, I wasn't sure what to expect. However I am very satisfied and would recommend these speakers to anyone. Great value!

    I've come to expect a lot from Bose Speakers. The sound from these was underwhelming when used as replacements for my current sony front surrounds.
