Summary: disappointment land
Review: Normally I stay away from reviews of products outside the realm of cds and books. Not this time! If your idea of fun is waiting on a customer service line with the words "Please wait for the next available agent" ringing in your ears endlessly, only to find out - after missing several important business calls - that you are being required to spend additional money (120 bucks) to get your problem resolved, then go through Bose. Cd players getting stuck and static on the speakers is not how I used to enjoy music when listening to Pioneer equipment. And I spent less money with Pioneer. This company (Bose) charges way too much money for original product purchases to justify the customer spending hours of his own time trying to fix a problem generated by lack of real ingenuity on the part of the company. In other words, they should build this stuff BETTER! One who can afford these products does not have time to re-enact choice product abuse scenes from movies like "Office Space" (i.e. in this case, hacking away at a cd magazine with an ice pick in order to try to remove it). So if you do want hassles and a company website that does not empower you to directly contact anyone with any power in the organization, go through Bose. They will not disappoint!

Summary: Please... their small surround speakers give me a break!
Review: Ok to all the "audio buffs" that have written reviews on this proudct one word "Cheap".
Ok you take a 2.5" main speaker and expect true bass?!? What planet are you living on?
I purchaced these speakers to replace my old JBL surrounds that did the exact same job! Back up the other speakers as a rear surround. The clarity is surpassed by brands like Harmon Kardon and Pioneer Elite, but dont expect to shell out only 150$ for a pair of those. They run around six to seven hundered dollars per speaker!
First you cannot buy a speaker to do a job it was not intended to do. The speaker has a true sound that makes you feel warm and cosy. At 100W peak RMS you can turn it up and hear the high end just sing!
If you want Bass get a subwoofer, or a pair of mains with a couple of big woofers. Or do like I do and get both :) But if your looking for a quality proudct that will last and give you a clear tone and low distortion(like none) then get these speakers.
