BOSE 301-V Stereo Loudspeakers

Product Description


,Sonos Play:3 All-In-One Wireless Music Player , Bose? Wave? Music , Sonos Play 5 All-In-One Wireless Music Player, SONOS CONNECT Wireless Music Streaming, Panasonic SC-HC55 Compact Stereo System Color: Light Cherry Product Description The 301-V series speakers employ the renowned Bose magic, in the form of Direct/Reflecting speaker technology. These versatile bookshelf speakers bring a lifelike spaciousness to movies and music. The combination of direct and reflective sound mimic a live performance, whether it's cinema or concert.
The speakers stand alone, mightily, but they also work well with a center channel speaker (the Bose VCS-10) to recreate a true cinema experience. Stereo targeting tweeters, a rear-firing tweeter, spatial dispersion lens and an 8" woofer fill a room with sound without filling it with cabinetry.
Automatic protection circuitry prevents drivers from being overdriven and provides increased reliability.
For its class, the 301 Direct/Reflecting system sounds much bigger than its price suggests.

There has always been much controversy over Bose 301 speakers. Some claim they are the best while others decry everything about them. Personally, I'm not a hardcore audiophile but I can't stand $159 all-in-one units that sell in department stores, which it seems is what most people own. I've always owned decent equipment; speakers by EPI, AR, KLH, and now Bose 301s. I've had a lot of exposure to Bose equipment since the mid-70s and I don't buy into the hype that Bose is best. I hate some Bose products - like the Wave radio. No, Bose isn't the best, but Bose is unique.

It is imperative that 301s are placed as Bose recommends. If you can't do that, don't buy them. In my small living room, my huge 3-way KLH speakers were just firing sound into the carpet and furniture, as well as taking up floor space. I bought a pair of 301 Series IV ( virtually the same as Series V ) used from Ebay for $125. When I received them, I placed the 301s on top of the KLH speakers to test them. Switching back and forth between the two sets of speakers, it was obvious that the overall sound of the KLH speakers was superior. After mounting the 301s on the wall, the sonic magic took place. The sound filled the room better than the KLH speakers ever could. I love that "spacial" thing. You can hear both channels wherever you sit in the room. Cymbals and tambourines bounce off the walls and suspend in the air, recreating the ambiance of a live concert. You'll need to crank up the bass some and watch the treble; it can get harsh. I already had a 7 band per channel equalizer ($15 on Ebay)and it really helps to tame some of the odd tonal curves of the 301s. These speakers are sensitive to what is put into them. Bass performance can be a problem. If the bass is recorded just right, it will sound good coming through the 301s. If not, they can sound thin or boomy, depending on the input. I added a cheap Yamaha powered subwoofer to my system to add more deep bass at any volume. You also will need a receiver of at least 80 watts per channel. 301s aren't real efficient. And, they sound best at moderate to moderately loud volume.

Certainly, Bose 301s aren't critical audiophile speakers. In fact, they are "trick" speakers. However, with these speakers placed correctly, and a little help from a subwoofer and an equalizer, I now have the best sound system ever. It's lively and spacious. It rocks the house. You don't have to sit in one place to listen. Despite a few shortcomings, I love the sound of these speakers. And, they sound infinitely better than any department store stereo.
