Product Description:
The Acoustimass® 5 speaker system delivers the ear-pleasing music of a symphonyor the dramatic effects of your favorite movie. The Acoustimass module produces low notes without audible distortion and can be hidden behind furniture. Rich, full music and movie sound appear to come from the small cube speakers, rather than the Acoustimass module, hidden out of view. Two Direct/Reflecting® cube speaker arrays deliver the warmth and emotion of string and wind instruments. Those sounds are lifelike and spacious thanks to Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology. With a blend of reflected and direct sound, this innovative Bose® technology recreates the way sound reaches your ears during a live performance. You experience the richness of your favorite music, from almost anywhere in the room. Connect this speaker system to the rear channel outputs of your home theater equipment, and enjoy the same superb sound quality from your movies as you do from your music. You can mount the cube speaker arrays to your walls, or display them on attractive stands with our line of accessories.

Amazon.com Product Description:
Experience enhanced sound from Bose's most affordable, next-generation Acoustimass stereo speakers. The Acoustimass 3 system delivers bass that's the deepest and fullest yet. Two single-cube speakers--smaller than ever before--are elegantly designed to fit virtually any decor. And the module easily hides away behind furniture or off in a corner, so all the lifelike sound seems to flow from the tiny cubes.

You will expect to find much larger speakers when you hear the Acoustimass 5 Series III speakers. Yet the spacious sound actually comes from two tiny cube speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass bass module. The improved cube speakers offer enhanced performance, contemporary styling, and a smaller size than the Series II. And the improved module fills a room with even deeper, fuller bass. These Virtually Invisible speakers are the definitive answer to the question of how to combine spacious sound with space-saving design.

Though the Virtually Invisible speaker design may seem like a disappearing act, the performance is quite noticeable. Full, resonating bass and crystal-clear highs envelop a room in beautiful stereo sound. It's all the result of years of intense research and testing. The Acoustimass 5 speakers accomplish what no conventional speakers can claim: big, lifelike sound without big, bulky speakers. Now or in the future, Acoustimass stereo speakers can be turned into a home theater set by simply adding the compatible Bose VCS-10 center-channel speaker. For full five-speaker surround sound, add the VCS-30 center-surround speaker package.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A beautiful Wall of Sound !
I purchased my first Bose Acoustimas 5 System in Europe way back in the 80s around the time when they were first introduced.After 25+ years of reliable service, I decided to retire them and go with another manufacturer's surround sound system(5.1) to compliment my LCD TV. To my ears, the feeling of music on a real sound stage was lost. So, I decided to purchase (2010-July) another Bose Acoustimas 5 system (Version III) to replace the original.Essentially this system is a 2.0 configuration with ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Try before you buy!!!
Buy these if you must, but before you spend $400 on them, please visit a local stereo shop and hear how much better $400, or $300, or even $200 spent there will sound. Really. I bet you'll find that any decent independent stereo shop will have a multitude of options superior to Bose for equal or less money, and you'll be supporting a locally owned business that will almost certainly offer you vastly better service and advice than that you'll find in a big box store.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - no impressed with the acoustmass system
I figured that anything from bose would be excellent but I have to say that this product is an exception.I have it hooked up to my samsung 55"flat screen lcd tv. One of the most annoying things about this product is that the remote has to be pointed directly at the receiver for it to pick up the command.The bose wave system picks up remote signals from a far wider angle range and you dont have to be right on it but the accustamas isnt made the same way; unfortunately.The sound qualityof ...

The speakers came with plenty of info for install.Adequate speaker wire.Installation was a snap.And you cannot beat Bose for sound quality.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ideal for Sailboats too
Vesta and I lived for ten years on a sixty-foot sailboat in the Caribbean. For the first couple we had a Sony ghetto blaster for a sound system, but with over three hundred CDs aboard we decided we needed something better, so we bought an Acoustimass 5 Speaker System, which we ran from a twelve-volt Alpine car stereo with a 12 volt Alpine amp. We put the subwoofer behind a curtain in the back of the main salon in front of the extra sails and the two speakers on the left and right bulkheads and for eight ... Read More
