Is it Live or is it Bose?---Bose Acoustic Wave Music System

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: This system is as close to reality as you can get. Well worth every penny you'll pay.
Review: Well, it's been three days and I have turned it up and I have turned it down. I have blasted my home with Megadeth and soothed myself with Wolfgang. I've twanged and fiddled and listened to a Fender or two and even detected the harmonious sound of a...

This Wave Delivers A Great Ride

Date of Review:  Jul 25, 2009
The Bottom Line: I would recommend to all music lovers.
Review: I had always wanted a Bose system ever since I heard one. I had first heard the orginal system years ago and thought it was great. I am astonished by the improved  even better sound of the new Bose Acustic Wave II (17817391207) Shelf System. ...

BOSE Wave Radio: Review from a novice

Date of Review:  May 26, 2000
The Bottom Line: The Bose Wave Radio is a fine product with fantastic sound and quality workmanship. But for me, it wasn't a "religious" experience as expected.
Review: First of all, I'll state up front that I'm not an audio expert. My only personal sound requirements are decent bass, good volume, and not too much treble. I don't like rattling speakers, either. Those requirements met, I'm a happy camper.

Come ride the wave

Date of Review:  May 28, 2000
Review: I love this stereo the sound quality and the number of stations you pull in is great. At first I didnt think the wave radio was worth $1000, I thought there were so many more that we less expensive that could give the same quality as the wave radio,...

The little sound system that did (for $1,000)

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you have $1,000 to shell out on a quality compact system, get this. However, if you have lots of space or want high-quality sound, get a 5-speaker system instead.
Review: Having used the Bose Acoustic Wave System for almost 3 years now, I can honestly say that it is the best one-piece system that I have ever listened to. At a price of around $1,000 though, it is a considerable amount to pay for any system, and it is...

Nothing compares

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: This ugly duckling offers beautiful sound. If you want tremendous quality, here it is.
Review: The Bose Acoustic Wave System is a complete and compelling stereo unit that delivers sound quality that rivals almost any non-professional system on the market. It's design is simple and almost perfect. No need to play with an equalizer to get the...

Bose Acoustic Wave - Amazing Sound

Date of Review:  Sep 28, 2000
Review: I bought this product because I had heard it was a great sounding, compact unit. After I plugged it in and tried the demo CD, I was really amazed how much bass it had and how well it spread the sound. The demo CD contained nothing but real...

Fortunately for Bose, P. T. Barnum's Old Assertion Still Holds True Today

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 2002
The Bottom Line: A mediocre performer for the price, and outclassed by a host of simple-to-configure (and operate) alternatives, including many of the compact home theater systems currently flooding the market.
Review: You remember P. T. Barnum, the famous showman behind the Barnum & Bailey Circus. He once asserted, "There's a sucker born every minute." That Bose can get away with selling their mediocre-at-best Acoustic Wave system for around $1,000 is a testament...

We're at the movies

Date of Review:  May 28, 2000
Review: We just recently got the Bose Acoustic Wave Radio at our house. I think it's better than any other radio I've ever heard.

First of all, if you shut the lights out, pop a movie in, and connect the VCR to your radio, you feel like you're...
