Bose 161

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...

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 ...

Pros: Great sound and awide sound stage from alittle speaker :).

Cons: Dont expect from any small sized speaker ground shaking bass.
