Bose VCS-10

Pros: Small footprint, looks slick

Cons: Inferior sound quality when playing music

The Bottom Line: Not very good for music, ok for watching DVDs. It was a mistake to get it in my case.

Review: I was in a process of replacing my hopelessly outdated home theater system (with some of the components as ancient as 12 years old). As I was trying to figure out what the individual pieces of this the new system should be, I decided to go with the...

Pros: If it says Bose, the misinformed think you have great equipment.

Cons: If you dont research, you will be duped by this company.

The Bottom Line: I cannot emphasize enough how imparative it is that you look elsewhere for your audio. Research from well respected sources. Not magazines or chain stores.

Review: Lets rewind back to 1997. I was 27 years old and making money for the first time in my life. I had always had an affinity for high end stereo equipment. Having grown up in a household where Klipsch, Cambridge Soundworks, Advent, Bic Venturi and Mid...

Pros: sleek, great quality speaker

Cons: not loud enough for some people

Review: When building a decent home theater, one should automatically think of Bose. I had 2 Bose front speakers and 2 rear surrounds, and I was considering getting a Cerwin-Vega center channel. The salesman told me that I should voice match my other...

Pros: sleek, loud, crisp, clear, great range. Matches perfect with my tv.

Cons: all you people talking bad about it when you probably dont even own one.

Review: This is the best center channel speaker for the price on the market. It is clear and loud and it also has some good bass unlike all the other centers that sound flat. It is an excellent speaker. I have it hooked up to an old jvc receiver and it...

Pros: Sleek design, Superior Clarity

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: On Dolby Digital receivers make sure you set the center speaker to "SMALL" setting in order to gain more clarity.

Review: I recently purchased the Acoustimass 6 but regardless of how happy I am with the system I thought that the center channel performance could improve so I decided to contact Bose Tech Support.

The Bose Tech informed me that it was possible...

Pros: Looks awesome.

Cons: Horrible sound quality.

Review: The VCS10(B) looks awesome on top of the T.V. Very sleek and easy to fit anywhere. The sound quality is awful. I spent nearly an hour fiddling with the equalizer and calibration settings to find out it's not the calibration.. it's the fact that the...

Pros: Wide room coverage

Cons: Sound not very distinct

Review: Here's a real-life dilemma: Let's say you've got two pair of old speakers -- they might even be Bose -- and you want to fold them into a five-channel surround system. You need a fifth speaker for the center channel. Perhaps you should consider the...

Pros: Good for voice and dialog.

Cons: Not good if needing high bass output (not designed for either being a center channel)

The Bottom Line: Keep it as designed for which is a center channel and not ask too much of it. Buy a sub, decent surround speakers and an amp and your good.

Review: I do not know where everyone else is getting their bad reviews for this product. I have had no problems with this speaker and have had great sound output from it. I don't know if these bad reviews are coming from a bad receiver or what, but I do not...

Pros: Looks nice, low profile.

Cons: VERY weak sound.

The Bottom Line: I'm not an audio expert but I can tell you that the VCS-10 is not a very good speaker.

Review: I have a set of Bose's Acoustimass Cube speakers (5.1) which I have been pretty happy with, they sound fine and I don't really have space for full-size speakers. Anyway, I just picked up the VCS-10 today because I wanted to upgrade to a 6.1 system...

Pros: Great design, stylish, rich tone with a clear sound.

Cons: Lacks power for a center speaker, and range is poor.

The Bottom Line: A average speaker. Just a bit better than a decent TV loudspeaker... hmm, I'd expect more from Bose. They are very pricy, but as with all sound systems... audition it!!!

Review: The VCS-10, a stylish, compact loudspeaker designed to sit on top or below your TV to offer a rich vocal sound from the center.

That's exactly the problem. It's a little too tuned to vocals, therefore it's range is highly limited.
