The only Bose product that I like

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2003
The Bottom Line: I absolutely recommend this to anyone who enjoys full bass and clean treble and who can appreciate the music they listen to.
Review: I'll be honest, I pretty much hate most Bose products. I was suckered into buying a pair of Model 100's and my grandmother had a WaveRadio CD and returned it within 1 week. By the way, I hated the Model 100's.

Anyway, the first day that I...

Smaller is Better!

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2000
Review: I began my search for the perfect speaker last year as I found my older speakers taking up half the room in our new home. Additionally, I couldn't create the perfect sound with the acoustics in the room. With the Bose Acoustimass 5 speakers I was...

Strange, but good!

Date of Review:  May 12, 2006
Review: Bose AM5 looks unkonvencional and sounds too unkonvencional....
Generaly AM5 is very good speakers for money you pay (new one) just must find amp. or receiver for this speakers. This can be expensive way to get good sound but if you like it.....

Not bad....

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: For the price, they are an ok deal. For a low priced speaker they have a nice open sound quality and they are aesthetically appealing, especially with the floor stands
Review: As a real Klipsch-biggot (a less than lover of Bose) I was pleasently surprised by the Acoustimass 5 III's. They are open, airy and have an appealing sound quality, which is kind of wierd coming from a person who thinks Bose stands for Better Off...

Good value for entry level sound

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2000
Review: Since he started designing speakers in the 1960s, Dr. Amar Bose has become famous, even notorious, for doing things his own way. He doesn't think having a separate woofer and tweeter are real important, but he does have a passion for flinging sound...

Bose Simply the Best

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend anything Bose It?s pricey but very high quality The small size, huge sound, easy install a complete dumb A$$ could do it, and great service.
Review: The Bose AM 5 s are something I have always wanted to have I am 17 and I knew when I got in College I would not be able to afford them and I also knew my old Kenwood s that took up my entire closet were going to be way too big. Anyway Long story...

The Real Deal

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: These speakers will give you many years of enjoyment if you like them and will frustrate you if you did not take the time to compare them.
Review: I have owned the Bose Acoustimass 5 speakers for 11 years now and I absolutely love everything about them. The pieces are small and disappear in the room leaving a custom look. I think the sound is phenomenal. There is excellent seperation, staging,...

What's the truth about Bose?

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: "NO HIGHS, NO LOWS... MUST BE BOSE!!"
Review: I bought Acoustimass 5 a year ago. I had a mini-system whose right speakers went out. I decided to try a pair of Bose and targeted the Acoustimass 5. I didn't buy the old model but the new one (satellites are a bit smaller - not jewel box size)
