Great sound for background music or surround sound...

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: A great speaker, with a wide sound and decent bass for the size. Quite loud and produce no audiable distortion. Suited for background music or surround sound rear speakers.
Review: These speakers are more for the places like the kitchen, or the den room.. Where you need to fill a small to large space with good sound and wide soundstage. In other words, wherever you walk you hear a loud, consistent sound from the Bose in which...

Is this speaker really from Bose?

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: Kindly compare these speakers at this price range with others at the store itself and you will know what i mean.
Review: I got these speakers at circuit city from a friend as a gift. I connected it to my Denon AVR-1803 receiver with monster cables. I tried connecting to the front channels for testing the tonal quality of these speakers. I tried a few music cd's first...

Great Value By Bose

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: These are solid BUY for a variety of consumers. They make great surrounds AND great mains! Their unique design conjures many possibilities of placement and mounting. Audiophile stuff? Close!
Review: I have been putting together my home theater system for quite awhile. I am a deal hunter. I am like those "weather chasers" that spend months tracking tornadoes... I have eternal patience to wait for the right deal to come along.

After I...

Good Speakers For Surround.

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: For the money, it's a steal.
Review: I have these as my surround sound speakers and not as mains. One may think they are a bit over rated for that purpose, but with the rest of my system they are good for that purpose.

I have 2 PSB towers for my L/R, I use Infinity for my...

Fulfills expectations.

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you need to move from Stereo to surround, this is an attractive, inexpensive way to do the job.
Review: We've been viewing our DVD collection on Bose Acoustimass Series II, meaning as stereo audio sound only. I finally convinced my wife that we could replace theater sound right at home with the purchase of these speakers. It took some time to properly...

BOSE 161 review by Zeev from Israel.

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2007
Review: I just bought these speakers yesterday and Iam very happy with them. This is not a normal speaker that is for sure. I use a T amp (which is an amazing little amplifier) to power these speakers and the amp is connected at the moment to my computer...

Clean, Crisp, & Elegant Sound

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: For $150, these speakers are a sure thing. Bose has again provided the public with a professional speaker priced for all listeners. No doubt you'll LOVE the sound.
Review: The Bose 161 bookshelf speakers have provided me perfectly. Originally I has the Bose 141's, which are a step down from this speaker. The difference between the two: a stylish design and louder more proficient sound.

These speakers are...
