- My quick impression on the Bose Acoustimass 10 Series III Speaker System
I know there are a lot of debates online regarding them, I personally like them and have a lot of fun with them. I know all it's issues but if you can get a pair cheap in the used market, definitely worth checking them out for fun.
Great for movies and games, for music, it is meh.
I have the Bose 5.1 in my condo and it rocks the house. The low end frequency is very deep and sounds like it’s coming out of a 10” subwoofer and the highs are crisp and clear. I’m running them off my Yamaha receiver. I have nothing bad to say about Bose.
youre so informative ..great vlogger on speakers items
Very nice video, I have connected the cube speakers on my computer and whatever people say, the soundstage is huge on these. They achieve a sense of 3D-sound. And for the price you pay you get a nice set. I EQ’d the treble up and it sounds very vivid now. I am absolutely satisfied.
Denon has DSP that will make dialogue really stand out on these speakers. I still found the 535 Series III JewelCube Speakers to have better clarity on dialogue. I enjoy them no matter what audiophiles say.
They are fun for theater.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I'm still using Bose Lifestyle 235, a 2.1 home theatre system and it sounds great and easy to setup. I do want a 5.1 system so I'll probably upgrade to Lifestyle 650 when I'm 65 yrs. old. I don't want big speakers to fall and crush me to death when I'm old and grey. ;-P
Some new info. The Acoustimass 10 Series V has improved drivers. They have better treble response.
And the passive subwoofer on the AM -5 Series V also has the same improved drivers. And the bass drivers were improved in the AM-5. I can verify that the Direct Reflecting Series II does have higher frequency response.
Got my Bose Acoustimass 10 ii for under 100 bucks and it sounds great for what it is! I wouldn’t buy any Bose at the msrp but finding it cheaper makes it well worth it!
Acoustimass. Mas 3 for rear and the 7 for the front and I love them I also have an extra power bass in frond
my system with a Sony 500 watt amp is over twenty years old works perfectly no need to upgrade
I also have the AM 7 that I purchased new in 95. I updated the satellites to the newer double shot cubes. The passive bass module is absolutely perfect for a bedroom. I run it in 3.1 logic with a vintage high end Sony surround receiver. The vintage Sony receiver made these sound much more natural and smooth. The Denon was too harsh for small room.
Hi Can you elaborate how you connected cubes to the receiver? Thanks.
Can we use those speakers individually for desktop like computer speakers?
I’ve had these for nine years, amazing for home theatre movie watching. I live in a smaller space and works perfect. The gains are always in the middle. Neighbours complain when it’s turned up. Not made for super loud music but great home theatre experience. Mine is powered by a Yamaha HTR6280 that probably 13 years old.
The fun comes from its clarity. Perfect for those who want a clean and no obstructive setup.
Key points you mention - versatility, fun, and affordability. Pre-owned, refinished, overstock, and old-model-year Bose products are very inexpensive, and they really are extremely versatile products. As for sound, you’re absolutely right, they produced highly biased/tuned sound, and they do not use a range of discrete drivers to reproduce accurate or full sound, but they do offer “fun” sound, which is good in environments were accuracy isn’t necessarily the goal.
Take computer speakers; the Acoustimass 10 and 6 are actually very good systems to use as computer speakers, especially if you get them pre-owned. They’re much more pleasant to listen to than most typical computer speakers and computer surround sound systems, and they’re very unobtrusive, so I like them!
*refurbished not refinished
You 100% explained what I was trying to say. Actually, you said it better than how I said it!
Very good and honest review. I too have a big cinema with powerfull sound and earthshaking subs. But i love the sound my Bose lifestyle produces in my small room. Its kind of my small Man cave😆 i even have a third theater room with the 301s and 161 with Matching center with Top of the line THX Marantz powering everything and it sounds amazing. I always tell people, sound its subjective and everyone should buy what the like and enjoy regardless of what people think and you sir have clearly showed this in your video and for this i congratulate you and agree with you 150%. They are fun to listen too🤗 i wish Bose would get back on making speakers again. I love the stuff they made🤗
I have bose acoustimass 10 series but the problem is the subwoofer not working anymore if i will use other brand of subwoofer like polk audio its just ok?
One thing that fascinates me is that is the Bose system is so inferior why do people spend so much time and energy cutting them down? I've had mine for 20 years coupled with a Sugden amp and still don't feel any need to update and yes I visit show rooms often.
I have the Acoustimass 5 and have had them from new, they are a old speaker now, but they still sound like new, I have a large living room in a victorian house in England, which I have very high ceiling (floor to ceiling is 10ft) I have them linked to a Bang & Olufsen amplifier, the combination is really nice, I have a rich bass sound and a very vocal speakers, I can have the volume really low and I can hear every sound with clarity. I have the Bose 201 IV full system including the bose amplifier to run them in my pub, and I love them, they are perfect for the needs, very clear in sound for back ground music but they pack a good punch for weekend use when the music needs to be increased, I will say I am a fan of Bose,
Nice, I was born in England, unlike in Canada where everything is built with wood, houses over there are build with bricks. Probably better than here for room accoustics. Glad you enjoy your Bose. I did.
@@ThomasAndStereo It's down to speaker location, if you have high ceilings there is more room for the sound to be bounced about, which you have a really good sound quality, All of new build houses in England are timber built now with a brick cladding, My house was built in 1901, so it is a solid brick built house
New subscriber here. By any chance, have you reviewed something in the budget category such as the Andrew Jones Pioneer set? I’m really curious as to what you would think about those.

What suitable avr reciver recommended for bose am 10 series 2 its with passive subwoofer
@Thomas & Stereo. Thanks for the video. Similar to you, these were my dream speakers. I bought them in 1994 (Three cubes and their subwoofer. I think it's called AM5) and I still have them and was using them, till 2014, when I moved on to a bigger system. I use them occasionally now and I have fun - when I use them. While they can't compete with bigger systems for bigger rooms, for a smaller apartment- I think they are still good. This is my opinion. Thanks for video.
I use these as my rear speakers in a 5.1 setup...they are excellent...double base on movies as I have a separate subwoofer as well...I listen to stereo on my Polk Audio R1 speakers and Yamaha 10" sub
I wish to use the Bose double cube speaker for surround, can I connect directly to the Denon AVR without bose Acoustimass, is there any chance of damage either in AVR or speakers...
Can I get it from 110 volts to 220 volts?
I bought mine about 14 years ago... (14 years, yeesh!!!) We didn't know any better and wanted a surround system. The cubes and sub are still going strong. I just put together my first stereo system. I was surprised at how "not completely terrible" the Bose system sounded comparison. Would I listen to the Bose for music given a choice? Nope. But it seems like they get a little more hate than they deserve.
Great review - very accurate and honest.
I have the acoustamass 5 double cubed and bass module and i love it!! Only thing i had to do was get a Acoustic Research 12inch sub to add to my system and it sounds phenomenal!!! Plenty of sound for theater and music in Any House👍👍🔥
Thomas I have the same base small speakers and with the move we lost the connecters to them. What do you recommend ? We want to see if we can connect the Wireless Logitech Receiver to them. Have you tried that?
what did you end up doing with them?
I find bose has one huge strenght, they're all in the mid-range when it comes to sound. Which makes them great for things like in-car use, where there's a noisy environment, yet you want to be able to understand what's being said on the radio.
For computer or TV use, yes they are better than most "gaming" or integrated speakers. But for me, they can't hold a candle to even the more basic bookshelf speakers. I used to have a 4.1 set from Cambridge Soundworks, which had a very decent sound, but without the woofer, the sattelites were nowhere.
So I went and did a silly thing, I got a cheap TriPath Class-T amplifier and a pair of Magnat Monitor Supreme 100 bookshelf speakers. All brand new it set me back about 180 Euro. The sound I got from that was leagues ahead of the Cambridge Soundworks "Bose clones".
Upgrading to a better Class-A amplifier and a 7 band EQ, combined with adding a Magnat Gamma Sub 220A, filled in the missing lows of the soundspace.
I don't think Bose makes good gaming speakers, because they lack both the booming bass you want for explosions, and the ultra crisp highs you need to be able to locate sounds in game. Gamers have way more in common with audiophiles in what they want from their sound, compared to gamers and music lovers.
I feel like they have a built in equalizer where it exaggerates everything. Thanks for the comment.
I wouldn't dare use them for music, not even inside an elevator, that's for sure. For home theater, however, especially as Atmos speakers, they could be a decent solution. You can install them on the ceiling and aim one cube down and the other towards the listener, which really enhances the Atmos effect.
Although Bose does not support Dolby Atmos, it's a very creative out-of-the-box use for those speakers. ;-)
Great video! I have a five accoustimas 10 speakers but no bass module. How can I connect them to my AVR and my subwoofer? Thanks
I don't know the ohm ratings on these tiny cubes. Assuming they are 'normal', you would just plug it normally to a receiver like any speakers. Just check with boss to make sure your receiver supports the ohm rating. You will lose the DSP feature from the bass module which is what gives it that 'boss surround sound'. Big difference. Your sub will have to cross over REALLY high cause these cubes don't go low at all.
Sir how to increase the treble in bose am 10.
I wish to use the Bose double cube speaker for surround, can I connect directly to the Denon AVR without bose Acoustimass, is there any chance of damage either in AVR or speakers...
In theory, it should be fine but you have to check is it 4 ohm or 8 ohm. It could even be something that is not standard, is it written on the speaker? Message bose to confirm.
Can you use this speakers with different wires? Planning to buy a used one but I can’t tell if you only used the cables that comes with it.
It comes with 18 gauge wires, soldered ends. If you have 16 gauge laying around those are OK.
The Bose Lifestyle 650 is the best system to date from Bose. But pricey. Much more open and clear than even the Jewel cube speakers. Note: Bose has updated the Bose Jewel Cube & Double Shot speakers a few years ago. The 650 uses new Omni Jewel speakers and is far superior. I don’t get the fatigue with the Omni Jewel’s. The Jewel & Double Shot beam the sound to much causing fatigue. Update. I’m updating my double shot to the new Series used on the AM 10 Series V. Bose told me they did update the drivers. This seems to be a modest upgrade but they have a bit more top end and seem more efficient than the previous double shot cubes pictured in the video. I prefer my AM 7 Bass module for a small room. In that environment there is plenty of bass for a bedroom. I still like the natural sound of these for TV and movies.
O don’t know either why I like Bose... it’s just when I was young, they were my dreamed HT. Once, I entered a House that it was going to be raffled, and it had a Cinema Room with a Bose HT, and it was playing a DVd of a concerto of Fleetwood Mac that just blew my mind... The sound was so great. Now I have several Bose Speakers at Homex even though I know there are better brands out there...
Another great and unbiased review. Bose is not for everyone but there are some who love them. I had some back in the day and thought they were great until I listen to my brothers klipsch 7.2 setup. After that, I couldn't get rid of those Bose fast enough. They are good for people who don't know any better and I guess that's okay.
Yeah, its for the mass and not for audiophile. Not to mention is overpriced. But for what it is, I can setup the speakers near field and I find it fun. I already sold it but my main HT system is light years ahead.
Thomas & Stereo Yeah, I have seen your system and there is absolutely no comparison. I admit the Bose don't sound terrible but are way overpriced for what you can get with other speakers. Great review!
I’m proud to say I’ve finally found a full set of 5 double cube Bose redlines 🤗. I grew up with the redlines as my mum owned them. Best sound I’ve ever heard. I am also going to run my own active subwoofer. I’ve searched years to find a full set of mint redlines. I finally have them on the way 🤗
Are they any better than the non redline’s?
@@jaridshaw5883 apparently so. They say the redlines were better build quality and sound quality as with each new series they just got cheaper and knocked out faster. I must say the sound quality is amazing. So clear and crisp. If your looking for satellite speakers I recommend these you wouldn’t be disappointed. The price is about right now too. Just an all round good speaker but only get double cubes as you can position them for all round sound coverage
@@SaucyBegger25 yeah. My first ever experience was my friend’s parent’s Bose system when I was 14. They were redline. It’s what got me hooked.
The first one I got myself was the 3-2-1 system. Wasn’t impressed.
I just bought a used T20. Haven’t even set it up yet.
Now I’m looking for redlines to use in place of the cubes I’ve got already 😂
@@jaridshaw5883 i must say ive heard a few peoples setups and yeah they sound good but bose redlines just sound so crisp and loud. My old satellite speakers had to be turned up a lot louder to sound good but still was kind of dull. Even turned up very loud the bose hold the quality well. It really puts a smile on ya face. Since the original post i managed to find a acustimass 5 series 3 passive subwoofer to go with these speakers. It also looks new for a 15 or more year old sub People give the bose subs a bad rating for some reason. All i can say is once i hooked that up and removed my active sub the sound ive been looking for since i was young was there once again. Personally i love the bass from the bose sub. It has no problem hitting the lows or highs. Yes it misses certain frequencys. Not many but it reminds you your using a subwoofer and i love that.
@@SaucyBegger25 which acoustimass are you getting?
Can you tell me how tok hook up the acciustic small cube apeakers? Is it easy to connect?
Well, just google the manual for it. It is straight forward but you need the subwoofer unit.
I just upgraded my living rooms TV and speakers. I used the Bose acoustimass 10 for many years, and it is exactly as you just said. I LOVED watching movies with them but found them "meh" for music. And it's not the bass, even though it's not a sub, because I listen to Rock, metal, and non-dubstep electronic, it was because of their lack of warmth with lower mids. And since I didn't have an equalizer, their was no way to rectify this except with the very limited options on my receiver. I just replaced them as my cinema speakers with the Definitive Technology procinema 800's. Not only are those things just as good with movies, but with their vastly improved lower mids and dedicated tweeters, MUCH better with music even without a full equalizer.
I moved the acoustimass to my computer room however, along with the amp I was using and I have to say I WILL NOT be in the market for PC gaming speakers for quite a long time. Those, now 12 year old, speakers just received a new lease on life! They are hands down the absolute best damn PC gaming speakers I have every used. And since my creative labs sound card has a veritable plethora of ways to modify and equalize sound in it's software, I have tweaked them to as perfect as they are capable of. Music is still a little bit "meh" but certainly better for the tweaking. That doesn't bother me at all though because when I'm gaming all I care about are the sounds of things exploding, rifles firing, and dialogue. If I'm listening to music, it's in the background and quite anyway while gaming. Another great thing about the Bose for gaming is their size, I can fit a cube each on the left and right of my 32inch monitor and one turned sideways underneath it. As good as the procinema 800 is, it wouldn't fit like this in my computer room. The Definitive Tech has become my new King of the living room, but the Bose Acoustimass has become the new King of the computer room.
Thanks for taking the time to type such a long comment sharing your experience. I really enjoy hearing from others and yes, these Bose worked for me, it was fun and I had a great time with them. If I want to listen to music, I fire up my main system.
I've Bose original 2.1 PC speakers. They still sound great after all these years. ;-)
Hi Thomas. Thanks for the review. I've owned the Bose Acoustimass 10 Series II (not III) for 20 years, and for the last 15 it's been sitting in boxes not being used. I picked up a projector and wanted to revive the speakers. Just yesterday I got the Denon AVR-S540BT and hooked it up to the projector and the speakers. After all these years they still work! Yeah!!! Buying the AVR allows me to use the existing speakers until i'm ready to upgrade, so for that, it's money well spent. But I've heard good things about Bose and don't plan on upgrading soon. But you mentioned something. You said atleast three times that they are "fun" speakers. Could you elaborate? I thought it was an interesting comment. Thanks!
For me certain frequencies are exaggerated. So not accurate but because of the exaggeration, it is 'fun'. Like more bass than what is supposed to have for example.
Running the same system and love it! Got it like new for under 100 bucks and well worth it!
@@ThomasAndStereo what certain frequencies do you think are exaggerated? I bought 5.1 acoustimass with onkyo rs-508 I can maybe attenuate those frequencies you think are loud, I love music so I need these to work well!
I bought a Bose Lifestyle T20 on Mercari for $180. Had to sell my Paradigm system after downsizing and although I miss my Paradigm system very much, this Bose system is passable for movies like you said. I can't complain since I basically scored a whole system under $200, but I would definitely NOT buy this system for $2,000 at original MSRP.
i have acoustimass 16 subwoofer only can i use as woofer unit only plz someone help
Have you a Link for me ?
Combination of Denon AVR-X2500H Receiver with Bose Acoustimass 10, How does it go
I don't see any issue with it, do you find it not good enough?
Any opinion of the Acoustimass 10 Series V ? Selling for $999 at Bestbuy
I personally think there are other options out there when we are talking about the price new. Although I enjoyed it as it was a lot of fun, it does not give the best value. I don't know which one I will look for shop and research around.
hello, what do you think of bose lifestyle V30?
I never tried them before so don't know how good they are , sorry.
Can I use this as a surround speakers for my SoundTouch 700 system
I don't know it's impedence so I would not know.
maybe next time you should try the studio monitor, the ones with active cross over, each woofer / tweeter has their own built in amp. see if you are happy with the sound.
you know what, studio engineers use affordable yamaha hs series speaker, so i said to myself, why do we pay for 10.000 dollar speaker to enjoy that same music / song?
i would really love it if you review one of those speakers. just for fun. a serious fun.
Yes, I have always been curious about those. Btw, if you never seen Paul McGowan video, its really Good. Here his take on active speakers. ruclips.net/video/inZQKHqayow/видео.html
i subscribed to his channel. A wise old man who can actually build a world class amp himself.
Mixing engineers use junk speakers in addition to good speakers to mix on. They use the junk speakers to make sure the mix translates to what most people in the world use. I know because I am a sound engineer . But I dont care what it sounds like on junk. I only have perfectly flat response speakers for mixing and mastering. I dont make low fi mixes .
You have a wrong perpection on what engineers use.
First of all, multi-million dollars studios only use the best of the best and don't rely on nearfield monitors but rather on main monitors away from the sitting position.
Secondly, crappy speakers like Yamaha NS10 are used to listen to the full mix, not for mixing and mastering since it would be stupid not having a flat response. They use crappy speakers to listen to a completed mix to determine if it sounds good or not on a worst case scenario.
I’m wondering if they’d be good for atmos height speakers? Even in a high end home theatre - If for example you already have shitloads of speakers dominating your room.
I have never tried Atmos setup and too lazy to be honest to go that route. I will never know now since I got rid of it already!
Thomas & Stereo I’ve also been put off the outlay and hassle of atmos just for a handful of discs for effects that are used so sparingly. The way it could be done with minimum fuss and still get properly ceiling effect is to use small satellites on speaker brackets with bell wire on a cheap 35 watt power amp with something like these Bose. Might only cost a few hundred and some simple DIY. Maybe when atmos becomes more popular I may go this route
I am also waiting for it to be more mainstream. It's more than adding 2 speakers, if I want to have they 7.1+ 2 ceiling speakers, I need to upgrade my receiver. Currently, most atmos receiver are only 5.1 + 2 ceiling speakers.
hey justin i actually had two of the cube sets from my am7 mounted to the ceiling for atmos. still through the acoustimas module and it worked quite well for atmos as the recomended frequency cutoff is 120hz for atmos anyway. as thomas said they are a fun speaker but once i got a better set ive not looked back. I actually swapped the ones on the ceiling for some kef t101 low profiles because in my rented living room setup the bose were a little obtrusive givin my the ceiling height.
Scott Hanrahan Thanks for the info. At some point when I get the upgrade bug again and have some cash I will have to look at some small cheap yet good quality atmos speakers. Right now I’m quite fed up with buying audio gear. Need a holiday. Ha ha
Thank you for the review, Thomas. Just watched your KEF LS50W v LS50 review and listened to it on my LS50Ws. A bit later I am watching this review and I earlier switched over to my Bose Acoustimass 3 series II, which are basically a 2 channel + SW equivalent to these. I quite often each day will switch between the 2 speaker systems and clearly the KEF LS50Ws are a much better speaker system but the Bose are actually quite good given their price point and their size. My primary use for the Bose are as Computer speakers. I only use the KEFs if I am playing background music from RUclips, Foobar or iTunes while I work on something else on the computer. The Bose's size and cost are big considerations as computer speakers. I will admit I used Bose 901s for years as my main speakers so that long excursion small driver is something I am used to and have no problem with. However for more critical listening and at over 10 times the cost, the KEF LS50Ws are a much better solution.
Thanks for the feedback. I liked the Bose even though a lot of audiophiles hate them.
Bose cubes/woofer= small speakers Big sound = stereo 10” 3way speaker=120 watts.
Bose cube is perfects for home cinema sound .
Bose cube is not for music lover but for cinema sound lovers.
Bose cubes cant handle too much high frequency while using double equlizer in music mode.
Bose cube needs a specific matching amplifier for Music lover,hard to match with any amplifier.
Bose cubes Looks beautiful in room than any other brand.
Bose 301 series 4 is best for music lovers ,Crystal clear sound. Even with any cheap $25 amplifier.
Hey where are you located? Toronto? Vancouver?
I am in Montreal. You?
100% agree with what youre saying im just like you with high end home theatre equipment i got POLK, MARANTZ, SONY ES, DENON PROFECIONAL , ONKYO, TECHNICS, BOSTON ACUSTICS. i have 1 large room theater with bigger speakers and 4 huge powerful 12 inch subs and a small room cinema with the lifestyle with the bose jewels which are smaller but more powerfull and to be honest, yes they are a lot of fun to listen too very strong and compelling cinema sound with lots of rumble to shake everything, i can hear every detail in the surround and dialogue is very clear , but they will definitely sound better if used in small room...if you put them in a bigger room sound is lost. Bose is got its own unique sound and acustics so you either love it or hate it. I love it🤣 .....i call it the BOSE BUG🤣😂🤣😂
Yeah, as long you enjoy it, that is what's most important. Forget the bose bashers.
I use the AM 7 in my bedroom with a high end vintage surround receiver. The subwoofer fits on the bottom shelf of my audio rack. What most fail to understand is there is NO crossover. The bass module is designed to also respond to the lower mid frequencies the cubes are not capable of producing. Yeah they have their limitations and don’t produce crazy amounts of low frequencies. I don’t really care. A problem a lot of people expect is they over emphasize the low end where material was never recorded with it in the first place. I also have the 901 series VI in the living room I use for a theater system. They sound incredible and throw a huge sound stage and ample amount of bass. This was not the case until I upgraded the receiver. Buy what you like and be done with it. I don’t see the Acoustimass 10 IV that cheap anywhere. You got lucky.
Yes, I got very lucky. I also had four 901 bose at one point. They definitely do throw a very big soundstage and I remember it was one of my wife's favorite speaker.
I just picked up locally a mint Acoustimass 10 Series IV, floor stands, wall mounts still in the box. and Denon AVR-X1100W cheap. I also own the AM-7 I purchased new in 95. I did notice Bose updated the drivers in these cube speakers. I think the non red line have a little wider frequency response.
Ì run 7 of them with a 400 watt sub they sound better then most movie theaters they pick up every sound from rain falling to hearing bugs bird ect in the woods music sounds like you in a concert I love them
What would a used system be worth if in good condition??
I think I sold mine for $200.
Which Blu Ray player does this work best with ?
Its more the receiver that is more important. From my experience, the more power the better, i had it hook up to an 5.1 80w Onkyo receiver and I really had to push the volume to the max. I wish I could had more power.
Thanks for the quick feedback ! :-)
Awesome I'm looking at 5 of these for 25 thanks for your review ("
Just got mine today and Came to watch your video again (“
I will be trying these out with my Yamaha RX-V673 Receiver (“
So how is it? You need the sub to make these really shine. They are meant to work with the 'sub'.
I bought 5 double cubes today from used market , is it I can connect direct to my Sony AVR 100w pet channel ?
And any matching sub for normal price
I think maybe Bose AM 10 is an old model of home theater speakers, so it is cheap now.
I really like hi fi audio ...But people need to understand that Bose is 99 for home theater and for small rooms and crazy wives 🤣
Lol
I have same Bose accoustimass 10 system , but my Yamaha receiver Rx-v2067 doesn’t have LFE output , so subwoofer no sound ! What should do ?
There is a subwoofer output, use that.
@@ThomasAndStereo it is working. i have two subwooferoutput in yamaha rx-v2067,both tried no works
@@ThomasAndStereo in bose manul said it is only for receivers with LFE output
Tha is weird, it should still give you sound. Just the crossover setting is handle differently. Maybe you have not turn on the sub in the Yamaha? LFE if I remember means the lower frequency cross over is handled by the sub while subwoofer out means is handled by the receiver (Could be the way around) BUT you should still get sound.
Thomas & Stereo thanks for reply . I will try to check the setting of Yamaha again , hope to find the solution, I am away for a while , when I go back , I should test it
theyre "fun" because of the tuning they do on the sub
it gives satisfying resonances and thats what most people like in their pop music
i recently installed a 5.1 bose system in someones house and since we dont carry bose, it was my first time installing bose. proprietary and exceedingly thin cables aside, i must say i was most disappointed when it was all installed.
Chris W I think anyone who have serious or decent experience with home theater will be disappointed
Hello, can I connect the 5 piece Bose cube speaker set wired derict to av receiver?
I would assume so but check the OHM rating of these speaker and if you AV will support it.
Noooo
It will burn
Mohamed Hassan why not? I’m planning to do the same thing? What can be the workaround?
Can anyone recommend a good sound system for my basement theater, running an Epson projector, 100 foot screen, the room is 14 feet by 25 feet..
With that size, you can get something seriously good. All depends if you are going for 5.1 or 2.1 or 3.1. Also depends on budget, taste and so forth.
@@ThomasAndStereo would like 5.1
Do they need a sub woofer, or are they enough without it.
They need the matching subwoofer unit.
@@ThomasAndStereo
OK thanks for the quick reply 👍
can i connet direct to a reciever.?
Yes, all speakers connect to the bass module, and from the bass module to your receiver.
They are great for ambient music.
Best 2 descriptions not in order. #1 they are fun.
#2 they have a Boseise sound, that I enjoy.
Bueno, ahí va mi opinión...Partiendo de que no existe el amplificador perfecto, no tampoco existen los altavoces perfectos, quiero explicar como me confecciono mi equipo, el que me puedo permitir y el que me da más placer, potencia, claridad y frecuencias en todo el rango. Mi conexión actual...Yamaha AS2100 con altavoces B&W 705 S2 más un segundo par de TECHNICS SB G55, al mismo iempo, DENON PMA 720AE con altavoces Bose Acoustimass 5 serie II, pasados por un equalizador PIONEER GE 555, al mismo tiempo un MARSHALL WOBURN ,, todos estos componentes funcionan simultaneamente, a la vez todos, La fuente es un YAMAHA BDA 1060, ,,,las salidas XLR van al YAMAHA AS 2100, las salidas RCA van al equalizador PIONEER y del este van al DENON PMA 720 AE , y la salida optical va al Marshall WOBURN....Bueno toda esta mezcla de componentes y altavoces y marcas, da como resultado yn sonido increiblemente detallado, potente y sin distorsión, cada unidad trabaja con poca potencia, pero la suma de todo hace un sonido potente , muy potente. Como dije al principio , no existe el equipo perfecto, El Yamaha es muy serio y realista, pero le falta brillo, El DENON tiene potencia y brillo a montones, y el Marshall que es un amplificador de clase D, hace unos medios increibles...Con los altavoces pasa lo mismo, unos brillan mucho, (Bose) y otros son más detallados y otros mejores en los medios, La SOLUCIÓN, para mí, en mi modesta opinión, está en eso la mezcla de componentes y reultado una increible resuesta muy amplia de frecuencias, imposibles de conseguir con un solo componente o una sola marca...por mucho dinero que está cueste....Ya está...Gracias por aguantarme el tocho y buenas tardes a todo el mundo....VIVA LA MÚSICA Y LOS QUE LA HACEN Y COMPARTEN!!!!!!
Asi es amigo tengo un equipo..,BOSE en las entradas del sub boffer suenan solamente dos bocinas la entrada R Y L,.
they only have an advantage of size, if you like that sort of thing, and i can get proper full size speakers for same price with better sound. so i dont get the reasons why bose
yeah but the advantage of size is a huge positive.
@@justinp9647 that makes no sense, size is a limitation imposed on you by you..
@@sudd3660 how does that not make sense? less is more.
The Acoustimass module goes quite low in response. And can be over powering even with the LFE set to minimum.
Speaker mil Jaenge kar
Name me a other brand, who was sold over such a long period without big changes.
they seem to work, i got mine for 5 €
Got 8 cubes for my surrounds 🔊
Yes I agree it’s only for games and movies watching in a small room
These speakers are not for audiophile guys
yup, i had fun with them but don't listen to music with them.
I agree, they are pretty bad for music. But they work well for a theater system. The same goes for the 535 Series III. Really enjoy that system for TV/Movies.
they are not worth it
reasons why:
1.you CAN'T hear dialogue clearly in movies
2. definitely they are not built to listen to music
3.the SUB is too boomy
the JBL LSR305(200 euros new on amazon) in my other room beat them in every category
I Love Bass Knob
Best for home theater setup on a 😊RV
I still remember the review from Hifi choice from ages ago: mediocre quality with extended loudness as we have come to expect from bose.
Bose earphones BLEW UP in my ears! Recently, the earphone exploded in my right ear while I was asleep and it caused an immense amount of throbbing pain along with the pressure. Drumming in the ears persisted for several minutes and I also went deaf for a few moments.
I was stunned and found out that it was the battery that exploded. Contacted Bose straight away and of course they told me to wait. Well, guess what. The wait lasted for a month. Bose Hong Kong (I bought the earphones in Hong Kong and am still living in Hong Kong.) never had the intention to offer any compensation. I was outraged that Bose actually had the audacity to demand that I return the earphones, charging case and power cable. Not only do Bose sell defective products, they concealed the safety issues that could endanger their customers. Honestly, stay away from Bose if you still want functional ears..That's all I could say.Bose earphones blew up while I was asleep!

Its funny, I love good music reproduction but have never gotten into home theatre as I did many years ago purchase a home theatre set up but after a while really could not stand noises coming from behind me and sourrounding me. For me a movie or TV show is an illusion not reality so replicating reality actually spoils my enjoyment of it and I finding noises whizzing around me really distracting as it never feels natural compared to what one hears in the real world such as moving aircraft or vehicles which actually are far more subtle in real life than in movies.
As for Bose, the company everyone loves to hate but I have to say that when out and about with my Onkyo DP-X1 I love the warm rich and silent sound my in ear Bose noise cancelling earphones give me, I just relax with the music, its a bit like listening through a lush tube amp!
The 650 is pretty amazing, the creative DSP and vastly improved subwoofer leave the cubes in the dust. Really good for movies, it really shines there. The SoundTouch App works great streaming Tunein. But It’s s very source dependent. 4K Blu-ray player, great. Phono, not so good even with a high end pre-amp. I was thinking about a used pair of Bose 10.2 or the Triangle BR03.
Bose CAN BE GREAT! Depending on the price and use. Time and place. Never worth buying new but used, for small HT or a B/muzak system and cheap, why not? I guess unless one has something better laying around of course. Personally would go cheap 201 ish route though
Hello Haw many ways each speaker
Thnx
Hello haw many watt for eatch one please
I don;t remember, just google the specs.
I also like the Bose 535 Series III
The only other Bose I had was the 901. Really fun speakers.
Thomas & Stereo 901 Series VI sound incredible with my $1,500 Vintage Sony receiver when it was new. I have sold my other high end speakers but will not sell the 901’s. update...my statement is not true...sold.
They're not good for music and they don't "keep up" with high end surround sound speakers. But they're 'fun', as in, you have a good time with them on Friday night and no hassle whatsoever on Saturday morning. Got it? No breakfast the next morning. Not even a cup of coffee. They're slam-bam-thank-you-m'am speakers. He might as well have said "disposable".
Not a bad description.

Reason you give is "just a lot of fun", what does that mean!!
I think I mentioned it in the other comment. Brings a grin to my face. I get to use it near field because they are so small, it's like having flies buzzing around me. Totally not accurate these speakers and the sub is not even a real sub but I enjoyed them. My true main system is way too serious. Everything is so balance, clear and accurate. It's great for my home cinema but...
"Fun. But not powerful enough for home theatre system"
Is "fun" a useful word in the context of describing sound reproduction? I have no idea what that means.
Super 🙋🏻♂️👍🏻👍🏻
Love my Bose. I bet his comments of "A lot of fun" = "I liked them but I can't say I really liked them or no one will watch my channel"
Lol, if you look at other comments, people already gave me shit for liking them, I think i even lost subscribers. It's fun because it exaggerates things compare to a normal system. I think it's the by product of it's DSP. Thanks.
What does a lot of fun mean?
Certain frequencies are exaggerated.
What does “a lot of fun” even mean?
In my case, it makes me happy and the fact that I can put it near field really gives that sense of closeness. So it's great to hear things up close. It's like having flies buzzing around you. With my true main HT system, everything is position far and its really feels a lot more serious.
No highs no lows must be Bose !
They are REALLY REALLY great if your trash isn’t quite full and you’re thinking what you can add to it just to make it full to take out the Garbage. That’s where Bose TRULY Shines and no other speaker company in the WORLD can match that!!!
As an ex-BOSE Expert..LoL.. I can say this with confidence,
"YUK!"
Overpriced and well ya' know...YUK!
Thank you very much, after many days i found what i wanted to hear.
I am very picky on sound system i want all my lows and mids very clear when listening Minimal house. I am a fan of Techno trance house and sensations... please help me to buy a perfect 5.1 surround sound.. anyone who has similar taste ?
If you need good low end for music, you need to go for full tower 5.1. What is your budget?
Thomas & Stereo Thank you for writing back, Thomas i can spend £300-£500
And i wants to feel clear grove of base too. I have been fan of edifier 10 years ago now i need my collection back in my room.
I see, if techno is you kind of music and you have about £500 max, then u need to do some in depth research. I personally would see if i can get good floor standing speakers and a good sub as priority if i have the space
Thomas & Stereo i recently come across Q Acoustics 7000i 5.1 surround sound.
What do you think os this one?
I was thinking of buying these speakers but I can't find any video that shows how to hook them up to my receiver? Or any receiver for that fact? This video is no different.
Just download the manual.
@@ThomasAndStereo I know I can do that? that's not what I said, I said I see no video that explains it. That's why a lot of people go to you Utube so they can find a video where they don't have to read the manual because some manuals are very confusing.
I know this info is too late, but I couldn't resist.
The back plate on the subwoofer show where to connect the wires.
one set of speaker wires runs from receiver/amp speaker outs to subwoofer ins terminals. 2nd set wires from subwoofer outs to the Bose cube speakers.
The acoustimass bass module with three drivers go down to 25Hz. The idea that it isn’t a “real subwoofer” is plain stupid.
I can never find measurements with bose, can I plz link. I wonder if they use dsp and transmission line design to get that.
@@ThomasAndStereo
I have two of them. As in two of the subwoofers. And I measured it myself. In my room, of course. But it goes down to 25Hz very strong.
They have built in amps and I’m sure they use DSP. Dr. Bose was a big proponent of equalization way before it’s time.
Besides, those speakers aren't dirt cheap. they're almost $40 apeice :/
Bought a pair for 60 dollars total
@@rayvalero8580 $30 apeice then, still kinda expensive. Go look into something called KRK rockets. you wont be disappointed
@@Decco6306 I like em tho. I have towers but I like using them sometimes, the cubes. Just fun little speakers like this guy says. I understand what he means. And I love how they're dual directional. That actually really helps making them sound bigger than they are.
@@rayvalero8580 never said they we bad tho.
@@Decco6306 oh yeah definitely. I'm thinking of putting my towers in rear and putting the Cubes in front for aesthetic purposes. Call me crazy.
HAY!!!!!!!!! SHOW MORE OF THE POTATO HEADS!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL
I stay till the and to see if that Dynaudio slap you on the back for talking good things about that garbage speakers
That is funny, got me laughing.
