Pros sound better than the Bose 701s; mellow, inoffensive sound
Cons diffuse imaging; mediocre microdynamics; slightly cheesy look
Recommended it? No

A few months back, I decided to give some contemporary Bose home speakers a listen. Back in the day (more than 20 years ago), Bose's 901 and 501 speakers were quite competitive in their respective price ranges, with their direct/reflecting technology (sound coming from the front and the back)...

Original Review Date: November, 2002:

The Bose 601 has had a long and enviable history! Developed by Amar Bose's first rate engineering team in 1976, the first 601 graced the audio world with rave reviews from the toughest critics. There was one problem...the speaker was priced too close... Read full review »

Pros Decent Sound, Improved Bass Response
Cons The PRICE
Recommended it? No

I have been a long time hater of Bose and its products, Bose uses old technology and crappy quality drivers, yet sells their products and manipulates the minds of innocent consumers by sleek and well-planned advertising. Recently I went to ABT, and I saw some new Bose speakers in the model line!... Read full review »

Pros Fairly compact, look current, not much else
Cons overpriced, under-achievers, terrible imaging, muddy, dissapointing
Recommended it? No

Expect nothing and you will never be dissapointed...Sadly this is the tune I whistled in the back of my mind as I walked away from the listening room at one of my favorite -pro-audio shops recently, and I'm still taken back at how bad the Bose product has become.

The days of the hay-day... Read full review »

Pros None submitted

Use as main speakers in 5.1 system that includes Bose 301 bookshelf speakers as surrounds and a VCS 10 Center speaker. Also utilize a 10 inch powered sub-woofer. Results are a clean, seamless, natural sound. Have used Bose products for 15 years with satisfaction. Read full review »
