Topic: Bose Speakers

[bono vox]

i like their 901 series. 

[ramsey]

Yung mga Bose na gawa dati hanggang ngayon maganda pa rin tumunog. Tulad nung 201 ng kapitbahay ko. Kung tunog lang talaga pagbabasehan, OK naman ang Bose. Wag mo lang titingnan ung price,material,driver, quality etc...

[dimple_guy0619]

I'ved got Bose 601 Series III Floorstanding speaker .Bought it from Jeddah K.S.A 1992 until now ..Buhay pa... Alive & kicking pa din....

[akyatbundok]

Maganda din naman ang Bose.  Most of the negative comments about Bose seem to be directed toward the price/performance of the Acoustimas satelite products.

But it's not the only product that they make.  When I was in living in Japan in the mid-90's the Bose 121 Westborough was highly regarded by the local audio magazines.

It's interesting though that the Westborough product line only seems to exist in Bose Japan and not anywhere else (link).

Ok naman yung Bose ko.  Connected sa computer ko for mp3 listening and viewing avi/mkv videos.  I don't think it's really that bad.  It pales in comparison nga lang talaga kung i-cocompare sa iba.  My room is small kaya ok talaga yung bose speakers.  Yung bose nga pala namin was dad's mistake kasi nadali ng marketing.  We got it at 50% off the store price kasi aalis na papuntang states yung may-ari kaya pwede na rin!  Ok na rin yung mistake kasi napapakinabangan ko talaga sa maliit kong room.

These are my Bose Speakers:
Use as my sorround for 6.1 set-up
Bose Acoustimass 7 (old product)

They work very good as sorround speakers and they are small.

For my Desktop Computer
Bose Companion II

I can't find better for the size

For my Notebook
Bose Mini Monitor


Very tiny but bigger sound, I can carry them anywhere I go.

Nakow! Sa bose bashing na naman papunta thread na 'to. Bakit ba wala pa ko nadinig na nagtanggol mula sa side ng Bose? O kaya bat di man lang nila ipaliwanag side nila( BOSE corp.) Dahil kaya bistado na sila?

Bose is bose either you Love it or Hate it!
Personally I like some of the models. They are not bad, I noticed mahal sila sa Pinas hahaha. Lalo na Comapanion II at Mini Monitor Gossh! Ginto!!!

Hehe...korek ka dyan. Lahat ng bagay (esp audio gears), paraang politika at relihiyon lang yan, kanya kanya ng paniwala, kanya kanya ng impluwensya. wether tama or mali, kung saan ka masaya, suportahan taka..

[vtec3]

had an all Bose set-up when i started my HT  actually still in working condition pa din yung mga speakers. yun nga lang brother ko na gumagamit. Ang natira na lang Bose sa akin is Lifestyle 12 which I use when listening to CD's  really a space saver

i like their 901 series. 

actually i have an am10 series 1 pa, til now gamit ko pa rin sya... pero wish ko rin magkaron ng 901. 

[frootloops]

pero wish ko rin magkaron ng 901. 

dumating naman yata sa buhay ng lahat ng audiofools na magkaroon ng 901. Pwede na pang mobile dati yan sa average room area kahit walang sub. 

[bono vox]

pero wish ko rin magkaron ng 901. 

for my past time... use for videoke! 

[odyopayl]

for my past time... use for videoke! 

Same with me, 901 can be the best for videoke! Especially for a small party! Inuman na!
Where can we buy 2nd hand? Anybody?

hahaha. I like Bose for some Audio application, but for a serious 2 ch system well I have my different opinion.

I have a Bose 901. Series VI yata. For sale.

[alvinthx2]

My Bose price equation:

Bose MSRP. X 20%= Bose FAir market price.

therefore a Bose system costing 170,000 pesos is just worth 34k.

Kung ito ang price consider it.

[ganicru]

If you can afford Bose, go for it! If not go for Wharf or other brand. Your choice! Pag merong murang good second hand, don't hesitate, grab it.

Me I still use my 13 year old Bose AM7 home theater + Bose surrounds, set-up with Kenwood (new THX2 model). Recently bought a mint condition 901S6 hooked up with Nad C372.  If you need space saving speakers and will matched with your room acoustics, Bose it is!

Medyo may sense of proud ownership. Parang Honda Civic, maporma ang dating, but I prefer a Ford Focus Ghia, in ride stability and quite comfort.  Its only me, ...who cares!

[iiinas]

don't own a bose system, but i have a lot of friends who are using bose for their audio and ht needs, in my observation, in rooms or spaces that are small to medium, the satellites plus the bass module actually performed quite ok. i think a lot of people just can't accept the fact that its price so high. i really want one too for my bedroom but just can't get myself to spend for one because i always think what i can buy for the money i am about to spend if i got myself a bose system, i think @ganicru is right, if there is a good pre-owned system out there at the right price, i might get one. 

[vtec3]

my lifestyle 12 sound ok naman for CD listening, yung sub lang ang missing link if you are playing fast music. Nagsawa na din ako listening to music at loud levels, but not when watching movies. Over-all ok na din for me

Cheers,

I just finished reading this thread today, from page 1 to 14. Grabe! very entertaining. Andaming patutsadahan, kontrahan, may nagpakita pa ng visa, and so on...This made my day!

BOSE bashing is really popular, I doubt however if those bashers ever owned a BOSE speaker to speak credibly about the sound quality.  Good sound quality depends very much on the listener ... you do not need to place instruments and measure the frequencies, sound level, etc. to enjoy music ... you simply listen and enjoy if the sound quality is good and if the music matches your mood

I've been using BOSE for more than twenty years now ... it started with BOSE Alpha-series bought by my uncle from Saudi - these are equivalent to the old BOSE 501 with 10-inch speakers ... used those for around 20 years and still working up to now, but I recently gave the pair of speakers to my younger brother and replaced those with Dali Ikon speakers .... I still have BOSE model 100 for my rear speakers, and recently bought Companion 3 for my PC

I'm a very satisfied BOSE user ... those old alpha-series that I mentioned above are unbeatable in their prime compared to most of my neighbors speakers, and are not quite that far with the performance of my new Dali speakers .... I guess it's just my taste .... and regarding the BOSE companion series speakers, what I can say is that I haven't really found better sounding PC speakers than those - I've used several Altec and klipsch PC speakers in the past, and those are nowhere near the sound quality ... regarding the high price of the companion series - well, you just need to have access to other markets to get better price - i bought mine on a BOSE shop in a Prime Outlet site in Orlando at half the price they're selling here in the Philippines

I'm just wondering why some bose speakers can be overdriven without getting distorted. Does anyone have a picture of how the internal part looks like? Is there anyone here who opened their bose speakers?

[ganicru]

I opened my AM7 bass module in 2000 because I noticed some distortion. I found out that the driver foam surround was ripped, thanks to my Pioneer 100wpc amp and Panasonic graphic equaliser that did it. I brought it to Eleksis and happy to find out that it was still covered by the 5 year warranty and was replaced for minor fee on freight cost. I still have it now perfectly working with my new Kenwood 7 channel amp, without the equaliser any more.  You know what,  grabe yung electronic component sa loob, one circuit board with lots of capacitors small and big, just like an amp circuit. Maybe that is the trade secret of Bose, the circuitry inside.  Hehehe.

Never opened my BOSE speakers, but this is one good trait... from low to the highest volume, the sound never gets distorted

[hattori_hanzo]

update mga guys I recently bought BOSE desktop speakers sys. yung latest nila cost here sa states 425USD Ihooked it up with my Ipod with Dock, the outcome.... simply amazing huge sound for such a compact system. may libre pa silang carryon bag. I can say this is one of the bose system that is truly worth listening. yun nga lang may con's p rin..."overprice" pero for such people like me that do most of the time traveling, eh audio nirvana na to for me...   

[hattori_hanzo]

update mga bro, here I am again victimized by BOSE, I recently sold the desktop speakers for a cheap price, RFS: nearfield listening...tsk tsk ndi na natuto bad trip...

[ramsey]

Ako din I also sold my Bose AM10. Although maganda sa pandinig ko, Ok naman sya para sa akin. Na carried away lang ako sa mga negative na nababasa ko. Swerte ng nakabili, malas ko. :'( Ngayon wala akong magamit. Hay buhay! Parang life.
