Bose is truly a leading in quality construction, design, and obviously sound. I purchased these speakers for my surround sound home theater; replaced the original Paradigm speakers. I highly recommend them as an affordable solution...

Mounted these to the ceiling as front surround speakers. Run a 15' powered sub with them and the sound is clean, crisp and I get a full range of sound. Also sound good with regular music listening.

The only reason why I'm giving these a 4star and not a 5star is because there not wireless. I have the Bose 120 cinemate theater surround sound wireless. These speakers were not blue tooth or wireless. I was sad they had to be returned. Suggest bose make a set like these but wireless capabilities. :)

These speakers work really well for rear imaging in a 5.1 system set up. Listen to others and don't bother purchasing these if your looking for left and right channel fronts. I don't believe they are really designed for that type of functionality.

I moved two of my Bose cubes to the rear surround sound and placed the Bose 161s up front. They've enhanced/upgraded my total quality regarding the 5.1 surround sound system.

I bought this product with a doubt in mind if it has enough bass. It does. This is part of my front left and right channel in my 5.1 set up. All I can say is I am very happy with the product and you can orient this product in different angles to suit your set up

These speakers sound great, I'm not sure why some of the reviews are negative. Perhaps some people just don't understand how music is supposed to be heard?

These speakers were ideal for the rear set of my 5.0 sound system. They are easy to setup, clear sound, and not too expensive.

I think its a great surround speaker for the price, sound could be better but maybe I expect more from Bose speakers. Overall I am happy with them, they are my Zone 2 speakers so they do a great job for that.
