my father is thinking of buying one... we are now looking at the Bose Accoustimas 6... ok ba ito?? BTW we already have a DVD player(533k) but we still dont have a receiver... may alam ba kayo na setup with Receiver and Surround sound speakers na for US$600 dollars?
Hi there !
Is anyone using this set at the moment --- Bose Lifestyle 15 ???
Any feedbacks? Worth the price or any comparable brand and model?
Thanks,

When you say bass settings should be set to "none" or "main" do you mean on the reveiver end? If yes, then I'm a bit confused. To my understanding, you would actually enable the subwoofer on the receiver side to be able to make use of the LFE preout. Your Acoustimass module is connected to the receiver's LFE preout, right?

betong,
I think there are better speakers out there, I'm not really sure. I just had my Bose Acoustimass 10 series II for years now, my father bought it a few years back and I sticked with it, although I'm quite satisfied with the quality of sound it produces...
thanks bro for the input hope somebody cud give me better brands of home theater speaker that is affordable !!!
I'm sorry man... Bose systems are not at all upgradeable. You're stuck with those now.
the speaker wires are attached to the jewel speakers, themselves, am I right? and they get their amplification off the acoustimas module?
the speaker wires is attached to the satellite speakers, but you can remove them actually. The wires are those red/black split type wires with the copper wire showing on tip, then you basically insert the tips on their respective slots on the satellites.
The same goes to the other side, I just insert the wires on the red/black slot on my receiver... any chance that I can make this sort of like an RCA type connector?
I still have a pair of ts-5 table top stands for the AM5ii... I wonder if any of you wants to buy it ::) Asking for P2000 negotiable
Hi, can anyone help me figure out why my bass is not very noticeable when watching anything, even DVD movies? I'm using Bose Acoustimass 10 series II, and my AV receiver is Yamaha.
Anyway, on most scenes when you expect big thumps on bass, it seems like it's not very noticeable... I have my subwoofer placed near a wall to increase the bass, but I don't think it's enough. Any tips on this?
Ok, my reciever is a Yamaha rx-v793 with a dsp. So if I put a sub to my set up, it'll boost its performance? Or is there little improvement lang?
Large na yung setting ng speakers ko sa front, and back. The SUB out uses a simple jack.
Wait, I'm not sure if my reciever is 100w. I find the whole thing loud enough, pero parang naiiwan yung bass in terms of power.
Bro, dapat small lang yung settings mo for Your front and back speakers not LARGE.
I still don't know kung anong bass yung kukunin ko. I've looked around different threads, iba-iba yung personal recommendation ng tao. A lot of them would go for velodyne VLFs, Audio_tyro is for REL Stratas (Ikaw ba yung gumawa ng review sa website nila?), and yung iba naman DQ 120, DQ12, or Ganz Klar. People I know recommend cheaper Aiwa or Bittone subs naman. Don't even know which specs to look for, except that it has to be compatible with my receiver and not too boomy, tama lang para sa ht, precise enough for music.
In my own experience, the only musical I've heard so far is REL [audiotyro is smiling now]. You really have to listen to it and decide for yourself - that goes to whichever sub you have in mind.Never underestimate Dibidibidi's (hirap itype ah!) experience! This humble fellow lived in Singapore for nine years! A constant visitor and customer at Adelphi, the audiophile heaven in Singapore. With his tremendous circle of rich audiophile friends there, he's heard sooooo many highend systems. He's got great ears, great musical taste!

audiotyro, i really hope that your quest for the best bass ends with REL ;D Have you heard other well reviewed [commercial and consumer reviews, that is] subs like HSU, SVS, ACI or TITAN? Just wondering... ;)I hope so too, or I will have to resort to kidnap-for-ransom to raise funds! hehe. Seriously... well, as time passes by, many will try and copy the remarkable performance of REL. Pero iba pa rin ang Orig!
i will get to hear the well reviewed and award winning HSU VTF-2(?) when I visit my brother next month in PA, USA. This is the first sub that I wanted to buy before 'ending' with the REL Quake 8)
wrong forum, but nevertheless REL beats Velodyne in my short experience of the two.
here's a good read on subwoofers - by doug blackburn/soundstage 8)Galing nito Pare ah! Okay ka talaga! Medyo mahaba lang, so for those tamad magbasa, I've quoted some interesting points from the writer...hehe:
http://www.soundstage.com/maxdb/maxdb200101.htm
yep 5t a pair pa rin! Mahal, though, kailangan na talaga e!
Saan nakukuha yung AVIA disc na yan? Mukhang useful talaga e. Clarity habol ko, pero kung walang bass or masyadong mahina, I find that it makes everything else seem noisy.

:)hi,the 8" sub of polk audio is just ight for ur bose AM10... ;Dbut the 12 inch cguro would be an overkill of bass in ur current system... ;D

malakas na ba yung 8"? I listened to Acoustic Research 150 watts e, I don't know if it's too boomy or just right. but sounds just right to me! The thing is, I listened to the b&w asw300, parang masyadong mahina or hindi na-adjust.
I listened to some yamahas kanina, sobrang hina rin! Even if boomy na yung scene, parang kulang yung 100w nila. Any good subs in 5th ave and upscale audio guys?
I suggest you sell your Bose then get 5.1/6.1/7.1 complete setup. If your budget is tight, you can get new speakers for the front and center then use your Bose for the rear. Just my 2 cent advise

we already have a harman kardon 3550, sbi nga ng dad ko benta nalang yung am5 then bili nalang ng bagong speakers like the jbl scs series, or sbi naman ni momy gamitin nalang yung am5 para sa videoke using diff. amp
was able to auditioned bose speakers dito connected directly sa Bose DVD rin (accoustimas, 9 series and 7 series) di ko gusto ang tunog parang kulang.
then theyve connected it sa SONY receiver di ko alam kung anong model iyon.. ganoon pa rin....
They are on sale at talagang pinipilit akong bilhin ng sales man ..... pro taka ako dahil mabili pa rin sa mga taga rito.... ??? ???
hey guys, need help on my bose AM10 series II. I had it working fine before with Avia until I recently checked again with my Avia Ovation disc...
running the subwoofer test, I noticed that on the left speaker-subwoofer test, the sub doesn't produce any sound or rumble. The left main speaker is working fine, but the sub doesn't. Others are working fine, like center-subwoofer, right-subwoofer, etc. I tried switching the right and left speaker wires, and that's when it worked, but the subwoofer on the right-subwoofer test this time won't work.
I think this is a wire problem, any way I can fix this? I checked the wires but didn't see any cuts or damage.
Thanks.
yap tama ka diyan nakarining na kasi tunay walang binesa sa speakers ni nirv eh. ;D ;D ;Dwas able to auditioned bose speakers dito connected directly sa Bose DVD rin (accoustimas, 9 series and 7 series) di ko gusto ang tunog parang kulang.

talagang mararamdaman mo na may kulang dahil nakarinig ka na ng mga "tunay" na speakers. iyung nabili mo kay nirv, i'm sure walang sinabi iyung bose don considering na masyadong mahal ang bose for it's performance. ;D

bossing - baka naka set sa large ang fron speaker size mo. pag oo - kaunti na ang ang signal na pinapadala sa sub. try mo i set sa small muna para ma set yung sub level. after that balik mo sa large ang fronts
;D
... anyway, I bought a sub nalang to replace the AM10 sub
Gutierrez, pareho pala tayo ng tatay (hindi anak sa labas ha! ;D ) Dad ko kasi binili na itong DVD player and receiver na ito sa abroad, and he auditioned it there with this Acoustimass 6. Mahal dun kaya dito na lang daw kami bumili ng speakers ng brother ko, kasi mura.
We were supposed to buy the Klipsch speakers, but decided not to as we thought how my dad would react with our purchase. So, nauwi sa Bose and :'(
hi! i have acoustimass 5 satellite (cube)speakers.
i am not so pleased with the sound
when i put one as center channel spkr.
do i need to replace this one with a
full range speaker to sound better?
parang bitin kasi, baka mas maganda pa kung
ilabas ko sa TV speakers instead.

I guess if you really wanted to have a good sounding speakers, you should have auditioned first...kasi mahal accoustimas

Don't the jewel boxes just use ordianry speaker wires connected to the accousitmas bass module? Just connect the speaker wires from the jewel cubes to the receiver's surround speaker out. Am just not sure if the jewel ciubes are 8 ohms of 4 ohms. Matching would be important.
av_phile,
thx men. which means i can use the jewel cube without the support of acoustimass bass module right? but using different speaker wire? tama ba sir? if yes, connection of jewel speaker is different from normal inserts( + & - terminal) it has two opposite needle and i wonder how can i connect the wire to it.

HOW TO MAKE A BOSE SOUND BETTER
THIS REALLY WORKS BASED ON GOOD RESEARCH!
1.) Strip the end of an power cord.
2.) Connect the stripped end to the terminals of your favorite Bose speaker. Make sure the stripped ends don't touch.
3.) Find a convenient power outlet. Turn off the circuit breaker to that outlet.
4.) Plug the power cord in. Stay off in a good distance.
5.) Turn on the circuit breaker.
6.) Watch the bad smoke escape out of the Bose.
7.) Now go get a Real Speaker.
8.) CONGRATULATIONS! Now you achieved Better Sound through Research!!!!!.
Consult a good electrician if you are a bit unsure with the above procedure

so the 901 can handle more than 4,000 watts of 60 hz test tone with a constant 120 or 220 volts AC.
NOT bad
rmpmla,
Why don't you try it?
The results will astnonish you!
I did on my 901. And man-- I am thankful I did!
You treat a piece of art differently from how you treat garbage.
Good, it's an acquired taste.go on continue looking at your pc. of art while i enjoy listening to my set up. of course, we are talking of speakers here.
People do have the predilection for things rubbish.you never can tell. maybe you will say the same thing with your real speakers 20 years from now.
And it's not about price, because Hose isn't cheap.
In my opinion, BOSE is more of a MARKETING COMPANY than a SPEAKER manufacturer!!!!!I second the motion...magaling sa marketing..but if you think and look deeper walang laman... :D
Not sure whether you've read this already ...

Review of BOSE 301:
http://positive-feedback.com/Issue17/bose301.htm
My brother gave me his bose accoustimass 3 about 2 years ago since he upgraded his surrounds to mission speakers. I wasn't into pinoydvd then and just dreamt of having those cute 5.1 cubed speakers being sold at the appliance centers. My previous ht set-up was a nextabse dvd player connected to my sony mini-component with matching stands for my big bookshelf speakers. This was what I was looking for since my wife was expecting our first born and was afraid that our kid would have an accident with the bookshelf speaker when he grows up. As expected from a newbie, I was very happy with the bose setup (using the sony mini-compo as my amp)thinking how could 2 cubed speakers could sound so loud and good. About a month or two after that, I connected my sony speakers with my old pioneer mini compo and started listening to my cd's, I then noticed that after the initial awe of having the bose, the sony bookshelfs are even better. Tried to switch back to my old set-up but wifey liked the bose set-up better mainly due to the limited space in our room. Just sharing my experience with bose.
I assume your wife preveailed over you on the use of BOSE! ;D
Nope! Upgraded to daichi euros 8 speakers last month (funny thing when I said "upgraded" when the speaker I bought is cheaper (5k only) than the bose set).
mga bro,wala naman bro, basta ikabit mo lang ng tama. :)
meron kasi akong bose accousstimas 10 series III, me problema ba kung ikabit ko for the meantime ito sa marantz sr7500 or yamaha rx-v1500. please help.. eventually papalitan ko rin ito pag me funds na ulit...thanks
There's an anecdote on the net I came across in the past that stuck in my mind. It's about a filthy rich man and his speakers and goes something like this:
I have Wilson Audio speakers for the master's bedroom. Coincident Triumphs for the den. B&W for the kid's playroom. Missions for the butler. Alpine and Nakamichis for the cars. And BOSE for the dog house. Among the occupants in my large house, only the dogs can't appreciate the sounds coming from their speakers. Bose apparently can't reproduce the 15khz and up commands recorded from a dog whistle training CD. I eventually upgraded to Boston satellites at half the price. The bose cubes made excellent chew toys for the puppies though.
jackryan- do you want a speaker that looks and sound the same or even better than the Bose Lifestyle 15? I can have it done for you for a (ehem) cheaper price. If you went to the marathon, I had a sample of a Bose 901 clone there wailing! Just PM me or something and we can talk about it. ;D
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/402.jpg)
(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/hanns76/402c.jpg)
BOSE professional 402 – priced at Php. 31T after a few bargaining at ANG Brothers in Raon, each enclosure is weather proof and has a 4 full range speakers mounted in articulated array. And this time BOSE gave the frequency response 90 Hz to 16 kHz at 120Wpc RMS, but again a barrier arise, the 402 can’t be used without the 402c system controller, so I bought it for Php.15T. I matched it with my power amp QSC MX-700, it sounded good but it lacked bass frequency. So again I sold it.
My final word is “before you buy BOSE products better audition more, because there are more out there better than this product’s, but don’t get me wrong if you’re still in love with BOSE then get one but for me I’ve learned my lesson now”.
Oo nga sir av_phile, it really made my head hurts and my pocket empty...
Sana hindi na maka biktima ang BOSE sa over priced speakers nila... too late para magsisi na din, Anyways now im scouting for a better AV, I'm eyeing my friend's 2nd hand RXV995 pero im thingking on a brand new RXV750 my budget is around Php. 20T, coz I already sold my RXV995 before bago ako mag seaman and I'm planning to buy local speakers kahit Dai-chi nalang or KonZert, medyo mabigat yung kursunada ko rito sa Amsterdam B&W DM303.
This coming December ang baba ko sa barko, can you advised me kung ano magandang local speakers with sub, my budget is around Php.18T coz im still confused kung ako local speakers and maganda hirap kasi magkaroon ng after shock after BOSE eh hehehe! anyways sana this time makabili ako ng speakers na good deal...
If you like the B&W 303 series, I think medyo mura siya dito sa pinas compared with the prices in Europe and the net. There are many brands that are quite expensive when retailed on the net or in the US or Europe. But they are are surprisingly very affordable here. Wharfedale, B&W and Mordaunt-SHorts are a few I can think of. Most of their entry level models are made in China and end up here. Wharfedale Daimond series is one very good example whose pricing is quite high overseas than here, often at par with B&W prices when the same model is just a fraction of the price here. I think your 18T can buy you a great set of 5-channel speakers. Getting a powered sub will cost a little more.
I tried to open the bass module once and you'll be surprise of the electronic components inside, daig pa ang circuit board ng amplifier. I believe this is what we are paying for not for the paper driver. Remember their sales proposition " Better Sound Thru Research" and I Salute them for this.
Just me again.

Payo lang to.

I think ang binabayaran mo sa BOSE is not only the name it self but the research ng team of engineers sa BOSE kase kakaiba ang mga buffle designs nila
...
Plus yung sinasabi mong cubes ng Bose?, for your info, walang bulak sa loob ito iho hehehe! kung hindi isang driver tranducers na ang tawag ay tweedler driver hindi transistor radio speakers, it is mounted in a swiveling plastic moulded cube box.
i have seen a BOSE cube speaker na binuksan (dahil naghiwalay ang dalawang cube after bumagsak), punong-puno ng fiberfill (bulak) ang loob ng cube.
I myself owned a BOSE AM5 series 3 then at wala ako nakita fiberfill which is pretty much different from "bulak" sa loob ng cubes niya, I would know coz, just for curiosity I opened the grill by pressing the sides of it then tried to screw out the drivers and guess what I saw? the magnet of the driver's is as large as the cones. :) :) :)

If your speakers rely on its environment, regardless for in/outdoor use. well I might say youv'e been ripped off, one of the tests audiophiles and sound engineers do, is to listen to speakers at any given environment and must perform well, even if your gears are expensive, it must not rely on the environment it must maximize its performance according to its specifation.
Even their speakers stand cost so much, AM speaker stand cost Php. 5,000.00!!! are those stick looking metal stand really cost that much? I've talked to the person who distributes high-end speakers stand and audio rack mr. Jun Reyes who happend to be my personal friend. he distirbutes in "listening in style" in Shangrila, He told me for 5T those stands are not even pivoted below, he will give me a non-resonant solid speakers stand most commonly used on high-end speakers for only 3T. BOSE stand are collapsable and the height doesnt reach the "sweet spot", that is the adjustment of -/+36" from the height of the ears even if your sitting or slouching.
well if this is the case then 100% of audiophiles have been ripped off due to the fact that there is no speaker in this planet that can perform superbly indoors and as well as outdoors. that is the sole reason why there are speakers made specifically for HT use, outdoor PA system use and indoor use.
well in this regard I do agree that Jun makes very good custom made stands and racks that are easy on the pocket and doesnt compromise on rigidity and quality. I have been a customer of Jun since the late 90's and the amp stands that I got from him are still with me....rust free and still looking like new. believe it or not...there are people who buy those stands made by Bose. For every product being sold out there... no matter how obscenely it is priced and how ridiculous it was designed, I believe that there is a market for it. P5K for stands are just the tip of the iceberg...have you seen the Php30K stands of Dynaudio for their Contour line? how about the Php35K stands for the B&W805's? lahat yan may market like the Bose.
That's how we learn then we upgrade (spend more). Now compare your Klipsch with other brand say Monitor Audio Silver series. Don't tell me walang ka kwenta kwenta Klipsch mo.
Just me.

I have auditioned monitor audio, paradigm, axiom, jamo, jm lab, def tech, dynaudio,dali, klipsch,jbl, infinity and many more pati yong wilson audio watt/puppy 7. They have thier own QUALITY OF SOUND. Listen to klipsch with good source and you will be amazed.
Just me.
Plus yung sinasabi mong cubes ng Bose?, for your info, walang bulak sa loob ito iho hehehe!
.
Palagay ko, iba talaga pag napaso na tayo. Its like a virus, we want to contaminate others. But thanks for sharing your experience. Hanggang dito na lang me. I have more movies to enjoy pa with my HT Bose system. For serious listening, I've got my full tube Cayin Tube CD player and Tube integrated amp and Epos M12.2 speakers.
Payo ko sir. Bumawi ka!
Just me.
Well it happens to be, I also bought a speaker stand specially made by Mr. Jun Reyes for my BOSE 402, its a high grade double tube rust proof, pivoted base and sand fillable. but unfortunately I just gave them for free when I sold my BOSE 402 at the christian church. So dont think I'm amazed by the price youve just mentioned above, kaya ko bumili ng stand worth Php. 100T if I wanted to, but I use my head now not my pride and by the way I also gave my BOSE AM stand for free when I sold my BOSE AM5 to my friend... :) :) :)
PS: Last time I visited Mr. Jun Reyes work shop is still in Las Piñas andun pa rin ba sya?
Yan ang mahirap sa BOSE lovers they tend to reject and disbelief that they've been sacked by BOSE... :P :P :P :) having "sour grapes" after buying a BOSE using their pride not their ears and brains ??? ??? ???... buti pa ang iba nagigising sa katotohanan
Happy enlightment sa mga naka-recover from BOSE... now you have a good taste in HT and music...
maybe its not fair to generalize people and to discriminate them to the point of saying that if you have a Bose system stashed somewhere in your house and you do like its performance then you do not have good taste in Audio and in HT based from the statement that you gave. simply moving up from a Bose to a what have you Brand W doesnt mean you automatically have good tatse in audio as well right? let us not be prejudiced.
true...the Bose systems isnt the best sounding speakers and are quite costly if you buy it brand new but what speaker is the best? that is a very subjective decision which totally varies from one individual to another. people buy products because of so many different variables....one might buy because its a dirt cheap deal, it fits a certain requirement, some buy the best there is, by peer pressure, by brand loyalty etc etc. Now lets say one bought a 901 and likes how it sounds....that doesnt automatically mean that he has poor taste.
I do want to give you an example on what I am saying. I have a friend who formerly OWNED a big audio store with several branches across the Metro and was one of the pioneer stores that carried high end audio products. he has access to a LOT of speaker brands for the sole reason that he owns the chain and up to now he till listens to his pristine condition 901's in his den/bar. I was quite curious as to why he doesnt want to ditch it and replace them with other speakers that are worthy of his lofty exprience in audio but his answer surprised me...he simply likes how it sounds...it sounds unique and like no other...period. That doesnt make it the best for him but its uniqueness has its appeal to him. In that regard I respected his opinion and his preference. he does have a Magnepan (the biggest maggie models) system in his bedroom and if asked the question which is better sounding..the 901 or the maggies syempre its a no brainer..the maggies will outperform the 901's but he is fast in adding that he also loves the unique presentation of the 901 in his den/bar. Ripped off? hehe thats the good thing...he got the 901 for a measly Php15K from a person who simply ridiculed Bose to high heavens just like you. so to sum it all up...he got it for a dirt cheap price and it fills his den/bar with energetic sound which is his requirement to begin with. Those are the reasons why he loves his Bose...and in no way does he have poor taste in audio.
In my case, I bought my Lifestyle12 set to fit my requirement which is for a all in one compact system that is virtually invisible. Got a good deal for it and thats that. Im still happy with it to this day. Its uniqueness also appeals to me in a way because examples of all in one compact systems that are designed to be invisible are quite rare. Ripped off? nope. got a very good price for it.....again from a person who simply hated Bose. BTW I do have other speakers sytems in my house that will blow away the Lifestyle 12 but nonetheless i still like my Lifestyle 12. poor taste? hahaha...who cares what others think. as long as you are happy in this hobby.
OT:
What then can you say about this:

Wala naman problema kahit billion of pesos or dollars pa worth ng Bose. As long as they drop that "Better Sound Through Research" claim.
pero kung compare mo ang price nang Klipsch sa Bose laki nang pinag-kaiba. ::)
Too much price, less quality.
Wala naman problema kahit billion of pesos or dollars pa worth ng Bose. As long as they drop that "Better Sound Through Research" claim.
Wait lang po!
Yung acoustimass 15 How much? Complete HT system na to ah (5.1 set-up)
Yung Klipsch RF25 (stereo floorstander ito di ba) Magkano kaya kung 5.1 set-up ng Klipsch.
We're talking of HT speaker set-up.....
Just me.
Remeber yung speaker nila na nasa aquarium, mayron na bang naka duplicate nito ;)
Nice one ;D ;D ;D Remeber yung speaker nila na nasa aquarium, mayron na bang naka duplicate nito ;)
Yan ang mahirap sa BOSE lovers they tend to reject and disbelief that they've been sacked by BOSE... :P :P :P :) having "sour grapes" after buying a BOSE using their pride not their ears and brains ??? ??? ???... buti pa ang iba nagigising sa katotohanan
Happy enlightment sa mga naka-recover from BOSE... now you have a good taste in HT and music...
Sir hindi lang price ang tignan mo pati yung kind of materials used sa speakers nila and how they build it... :) :) :)
Nice one ;D ;D ;D Remeber yung speaker nila na nasa aquarium, mayron na bang naka duplicate nito ;)
Sir, I don't feel what you mean. When I buy things, I make it a point that the item really excites me. I don't buy on impulse specially on audio gears. I visit , look and try to ask for a demo (kung walang masyadong buying customer) as frequent as I can and check my pocket if I can afford it na. Then when the right time comes, I buy it na and take it home na parang bata at tuwang tuwa sa bago kong toy and enjoy it. Well its human nature na magsawa at maghanap ng bago. But this doesn't mean that we were sacked by any body. No body forces us to make our buying decisions. It is we and we alone ourselves and more often than not later we realised that we made a bad decision but it doesn't mean na yung "Kapalaran ni Juan ay kapalaran din ni Pedro". Kung masaya si Pedro hindi sigurado na masaya din si Juan or the other way around. But don't judge people on how they make decisions, its their own call.
I AM HAPPY WITH MY BOSE!
just me.
Can you do factory visit before buying anything? Brand perception is the name of the game.
Natatawa nga ako eh, do you need to submerged a speaker para mapatunayan ang performance nito, sino makikinig dun isda o serena? They always try to trick peoples mind para makabenta lang. It is not necessary to submerge speaker under water to prove their waterproof. Dahil sa weather natin rain, sunshine, or snow kahit splash proof lang okey na, wala naman nakikinig sa ilalim ng tubig eh, saka sinong matinong tao ang maglulubog ng speakers niya sa ilalim ng tubig, ano isusunod nila ilulubog na nila sa putik. Hehehe!
amen to that bro. Nobody is saying that Bose is the best speaker sold out there. The thing that I just dont get it why people are judging others and say that they have poor taste in audio just because they bought a bose. such an immature statement. The CEO in the company that I work for has a Wave system in his office....I dont think he has poor taste in audio...he has a killer rig at home that consists of Martin Logan, Audio Reasearch and Musical Fidelity.
yung iba kasi naka pag upgrade lang at natuto ng konti sa kakabasa sa threads at sa pag audition ng iba-ibang speakers ay "audiophile" na agad ang tingin sa sarili.
Sir being observative and analytical makikita mo naman kung oky at pulido ang make and made ng isang product. kahit hindi ka pumunta sa factory nila, just a little research you'll know, kung your buying a good one, pero kung brand rat ka its up to you. yun nga lang you rely so much on brand not on the performance pero ganun talga there are people more on brand.
anyways better enjoy your BOSE system...
Wait lang po!

Just me.
Being a CEO doesnt mean your superior to all.
And by the way hindi lang sa pagbabasa ng threads at pag audiotion ng iba-ibang speakers ay magiging audiophile kana,
if you studied it at may expirience ka for 15years and designed many auditoriums at recording studios including local and abroad and contributed research in acoustics sa isang big audio company, can you say your an audiophile?
E di sa Dai-Ichi na lang.
compare it side by side with bose.
get a noobie that has no outright experience in Audio and HT.
Im 100% sure, Dai-Ichi ang pipiliin nya mas OK.
Yan ang hirap sa Bose, may sariling showroom. Ayaw ma compare side by side.
Sa pagkaka alam ko, sila lang may ganiton practice. ::)
This are basic things and natural to humans but not to RATS!!@###@#@**
In fairness, di ba may Dai-Ichi showroom din sa megamall? The truth is I started my simple audio set up with a Pioneer KP5 car stereo with Daiichi assembled speakers (La pa ko datung eh) then upgraded to Pioneer speakers then Bose. I keep my Bose for HT (AM7). For audio I started with B&W CDM1, then AE Evo3, then B&W 602S3 and presently Epos M12.2. Mga 15 years of evolution din.
Ano kaya next? The quest never ends.... Its part of the learning curve. I can share my experiences (good or bad) but I won't put any body down.
Yun nga ang pagkakaiba ng rats sa human, they know how to distinguish good value vs performance, rather going thru brand's. Anyways if your enjoying your BOSE then enjoy listening to it. I have nothing against your BOSE speakers, sayo naman yan eh ikaw ang bumili ng pagkamahal-mahal at pera mo yan at ikaw ang makikinig.
Sana nga lang palawakin pa ng BOSE ang research nila at pataasin ang kalidad ng materials their using sa BOSE speakers. cause they tend to go into another product research without giving another solution sa speakers nila.
Happy BOSE listening nalang sayo PEACE!!!
Common, dont take my work out of context. My point is, Bose dont want their speakers to be auditioned with another brand.
And, you can check my previous post if I had put anybody down. ;)
I just said that as an example sir. nowhere in my post says that a CEO is superior to all and sundry. I wonder what gave you that idea ??? oh well..
now to your question....I dont give a rats ass even if one has studied audio for 75 years and have contributed to all the recording studios in this planet. If you do not have an open mind in audio then I guess you wont be able to understand why it is very subjective and one's preference will not be the same as the other guy's preference.
audiophile? everybody can claim that title to his own just by buying a stereo, reading audio threads and magazines and start talking audio jargon that the next person cannot understand so I guess its a worthless title in my opinion....wala namang diploma yan saying that one earned the title eh. I have never considered myself as an "audiophilie"..while I do know that I love music since I was in 2nd grade so I guess that makes me a music lover. there are a gazillion and one "audiophiles" strutting their stuff here in PinoyDVD... maybe you could ask them how and where they got their title.
Suggest you go direct to Bose website and give customers feedback. I'm sure they will listen to us (customers). If there is a cause for change I'm sure Bose will ackowledge this.
Break!!!! break!!!!! ..keep it cool people... keep it cool.
peace!!!
You know I already emailed them before pero sabi lang nila they will tell it to their sound engineers, hay sayang lang ang binabayaran research nila.
anyways ano ba ang masasabi mo sa performance ng BOSE speakers mo now?
I'm a proud owner of dai-ichi floorstanders for my HT. Upgraded from bose am3. Nasaan na am3 ko? nakakabit sa garahe para may sounds naman pag naglilinis ng kotse.

AM3? Sir mukhang bitin pang HT yun, Y? nyo binili. Ok yan pang small enclosed room, mood music application, hindi pang explosion scenes ng HT (gagaralgal yun). Don't blame Bose, wrong choice siguro.
Very much happy with my Bose performance (HT) as well as the way it looks. Cute eh!

Ano ba talaga ang description mo sa isang Audiophile?
Anyways if you judge someone na naging Audiophile siya dahil sa pagbabasa at sa mga threads dito sa Pinoydvd according to you, better think muna before telling that to someone.
If your contented with BOSE then enjoy listening to it, just post whatever you think about BOSE having been an owner of it...
contented? oh yes I am. they fit my requirement at hand which is a compact all in one invisible system for BGM and cocktails. Unfortunately beyond that requirement they do fail in comparison with my other speakers but I guess thats another story altogether.
Audiophile? Honestly I dont know because again it is very subjective...you dont earn that title like in school or something so I guess anybody can become an audiophile overnight and preach the word of audio the next day. I really dont care if one considers him/herself as an audiophile. as i've told you earlier...maybe you can try asking the "audiophiles" here in Pdvd who have been strutting their stuff everyday...maybe they can enlighten you with that definition that you seek.
Judge? I have judged no one...it is you who judged people for what they have..branding them as "brand rats" and "have no taste in HT and Audio" just because they have a brand of system that you totally hate due to the fact that at one time in your life you paid premium for that brand but unfortunately it did not meet your expectations...tough luck.
contented? oh yes I am. they fit my requirement at hand which is a compact all in one invisible system for BGM and cocktails. Unfortunately beyond that requirement they do fail in comparison with my other speakers but I guess thats another story altogether.
Contentment. Now that for me is a more important term. Whatever the brand, cost, make, as long as it makes good music/sound relative to the listener, that should be okay.
BOSE HT Set / AM-55 – 320,000 YEN that’s Php. 144,000.00
BOSE HT Set / AM-33 – 224,000 YEN that’s Php. 108,000.00
BOSE WB / 464 – 188,000 YEN that’s Php. 84,600.00
BOSE Passive subwoofer / PAWS18 – 900,000 YEN that’s Php. 405,000.00
BOSE Active subwoofer / SW4 – 99,500 YEN that’s Php. 44,775.00
Oh-oh still over priced para sa matitinong BOSE speakers, may bumili kayang hapon nito????…

3rd having a good taste on music defines as being knowledgeable enough know the basic audible hearing of a human being 20hz – 20khz, does BOSE even closely possess this specification?
Hearing only 13.3 khz to 280 hz then “blank” from 202hz to 46hz, does this mean you have good taste? Baka bingi ka? Oh well…
So Mr. synchro_01 I don’t know kung bata ka pa or what? Maybe you just have less experience or understanding on Audio/Video/HT or society, don’t worry okey lang yan…
My advice? If you are happy with the Bose sound and are more concerned with
what the general population thinks of your sound system, buy a Bose. You will
surely impress the general population. If you want however the best sound
from your audio system and don't care what majority of the population thinks,
there are better and cheaper brands out there. I suggest B&W's and other
British speakers for a start. I seem to like 'British' sound though I hate the
'British' accent... ;D

I think Synchro_01 knows BOSE has a HOLE. It is that you are not reading posts properly - BOSE do not have spectacular specs, and do not market audiophilia specs. They market cheap products, attractive to the moneyed market,and sells. Your "bingi" post is not in place!
How do you want your coffee Mr. JFBagadiong? blacker? sweeter? creamier? So what defines a good taste in coffee? ???
What's the standard in good coffee taste?
In the same terms, what defines a good taste in HT, Mr. JFBagadiong? ??? ???
What's the standard in good HT taste?
I think you are the one that do not understand what you are saying ... that taste is dictated by an individual preferences - and not an imposed taste standard by another person to another person.

Yup! and I think you also do ... have less understanding! :P
P.S. I know of hardcore audiophiles (undefined term?) just using full range in their audio rig - not 20 to 20khz - and I dont see a problem why they cant be called an audiophile - and that they have such a poor taste in music listening! ??? ??? ???
It's really a 'Lifestyle' brand. Same way someone buys a Vertu phone for $5,000 just because he likes how it looks, even though it's a basic phone.
Just a question though: If I was really picky on size and is thinking to get the bose acoustimas.. are there other options that are just as small and sound similar/better without the high price tag?

OO nga mga bro. If somebody needs sympathy and condolences that you feel you were sacked by any brand,,Go somewhere else. Basta kami happy sa Bose! and fortunately we don't share your sentiments. Who is immature now!
Well at least your enjoying your BOSE, how do you compare the performance of your BOSE against other similar speakers like JBL, Def Tech, etc etc... can you tell us the superiority of your BOSE? sa iyong opinion lang naman...
para naman makatulong sa mga balak bumili ng BOSE in the future...
Just curious lang po. Meron na bang nagkamaling i derekta yung cube speakers sa ampli/receiver? I know that the manual says that you shouldn't do it. Matagal ko nang gustong gawin pero sayang kung masisira. The way i see it its either puputok yung cube speaker o lalalabas yung totoong tunog nung cubes kapag wala yung bass module nya.

I think being happy with a system is different from saying that it is superior. The links provided I think is enough for someone to have an idea of what to expect from a bose system, aside from the fact of actually hearing it. The topic of what an audiophile is should be discussed on a spearate thread. One thing i've learned is to respect each other's choices, as long as they are informed its up to them if they want to stick with what they have...its their choice.
I don't think i would call bose acoustimass audiophile grade as well. And although the links are quite old, the "newer" acoustimass modules aren't that much different.

mabilis ang takbo ng thread na toh! ;D
Interesting to look back at the earlier thread on BOSE. Meron pala. I think there's another previous to this but may have been taken out in the earlier upgardes of the forum.
http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=5037.0
This was started mid 2002. The issues against Bose have not really changed at all.
One Word.... RESPECT.
peace!!!!!
and you dont feel cheated with what you've pay for or to put it in other way, you feel that its a money well spent for.....
That's how we learn then we upgrade (spend more). Now compare your Klipsch with other brand say Monitor Audio Silver series. Don't tell me walang ka kwenta kwenta Klipsch mo.
Just me.
And one more thing talo pag dating sa upgrade, hanggang Bose AM16 palang wala pang AM17, so basically 6.1 palang ang BOSE AM series, paano kung mag 7.1 or 8.1 ka na?
Tingnan mo, kinu-compare ko youg Bose ko sa Klipsch ng kaibigan ko (personal experience ko to) Pero ang sagut nitung Sir Ganichu e-compare ko raw young Klipsch ko sa Monitor Audio. Ang layo sa topic.
Dati akong Bose lover, but when I compaired my Bose speaker to another brand side-by-side, dito ko nalaman low quality pala yung sound pati na yong materials na ginagamit nila............At least gising na ako ngayon.... hindi na natotolug.....
(personal experience ko to) so please huwag kayong mag-comment kung hindi nyo nasubukan.
I actually compared Bose's bookshelf speakers (forgot the model) with B&W's DM600 S3 bookshelf
speakers. Both are about the same size and price so I guess the comparison was reasonably
'fair'. The left speaker was the Bose and the right speaker was the B&W.
I tested with various music genres. The test started with the balance shifted to the left speaker - Bose.
Bose sounds reasonably good, if you don't have anything to compare it with. However, when the balance
is shifted to the right speaker - the B&W, the Bose sound suddently becomes 'mediocre' in comparison.
(If you are new to audio, you really wouldn't realize it until you truly A/B compare Bose with another speaker.)
Alternately shifting the balance left and right revealed the 'thin' nature of the Bose sound, and
its typical characteristic bright and raspy sound at the treble frequencies. The Bose midrange is cold,
almost devoid of warmth and life. In contrast, the B&W midrange sounded lush and warm and forward
resembling much more like a real person singing. The B&W treble frequencies are impressive. Guitars sound
like real guitars, drums and pianos sound like the real instruments. The B&W treble did not sound raspy at all,
and was in fact, very pleasing to the ear (my ear, of course). With bass frequencies, the B&W sounded stronger
than the Bose yet still maintains good control.
I did my first A/B comparison above between similar models of Bose and B&W when I was still new in the hobby.
I have concluded it really doesn't take a seasoned/trained ear to notice the difference. If you ask me to
compare Bose sound with that of my B&W 600 S3's now, I'd really be insulted. There's just no comparison.
While I've read a lot of negative comments about Bose in practically all of the audio forums I've visited, I believe,
the pathological 'hatred' of Bose is rather 'exaggerated'. Many of those who speak against Bose in audio forums
telling everyone that Bose sucks actually don't have 'first hand' experience with a Bose product. These people
just learn from the forums and the internet and use the bad Bose reputation in the audiophile community as a
license to join the rest (who truly have first hand experience) in 'stoning/condemning' Bose.
I think this practice in audio forums should be stopped. Unless you have really first hand experience with the Bose
sound and have really tried to compare it side by side with another speaker brand, it would be best to keep your
Bose bashing to yourself. That way, we can separate the 'choir' from the 'echo'.

I don't think it's practical to try re-discover things that are already discovered.
this is making me curious..... i think i'll go visit their showroom just to hear how bad it really is.
It is practical and reassuring, mind you, to 'rediscover' what many have already
discovered about Bose. You will never realize what you've got and what others
are talking about until you have first hand experience with a Bose product and
compared it side by side with your speaker or another speaker.
Bose threads would have been shorter and more educational and useful
if we separate the 'echo' from the 'choir'. Frequently, in Bose threads kasi,
many Bose bashers haven't even compared Bose side by side their own speakers.
They just bash and bash Bose because that is what almost everyone else is doing
in the forum. I'd like to repeat that this is wrong.
By doing so, we will only be filling Bose threads with useless bashing when
it could have contained more useful information like 'first hand' testimonials
from previous Bose owners or 'first hand' Bose speaker vs. another speaker
comparison from members with 'first hand' Bose experience.
The truth is that Bose sound really is not that bad, and in fact, many find it to sound
quite reasonably good. It is just that for the same price or lower, you can get really
better or even excellent sound elsewhere.

i still got my 401 S4 and i also used it for test of my DIY amps. now, if the issue is pricing then go the pre-owned stuff.
yung 401 e nabili ko lang ng P2,000 ;D
compare ko sound nito sa iba ko pang speakers pero mas maganda pa rin siyang tumunog. puro bookshelf nga lang yung comparison - Wharfedale diamond3, MS 3.10, Polk Audio monitor 5j+, at B&W 602 S2.
ito nga pala yung pic. nakapatong yung MS 3.10

peace :)
I've got the same experience. I bought a pre-owned Acoustic Energy Evo3 for my audio setup sana, but still not contended and I happened to got a pre owned B&W 602 S3 too. I tried them on my HT Onkyo TX DS 656 with Bose Acoustimass 7, replaced the AM7 but my ears still finds the Bose more pleasing. So I hooked back my AM7, sold the AEEvo3 and the 602S3 and bought an Epos M12.2 for the audio. I don't find the reason why should I damped my Bose set-up in exchange for new set of HT spkrs, mapapagastos pa ko cause I have to look for matching center and surround spkrs pa.
Siguro gamayan lang ng tunog.

Sir bakit yung PC mo incorporated sa HT mo? is that what you use as your receiver? SPDIF out?
kung ganyan lang ang price ng BOSE like your "401" Php. 2,000.00 lang eh medyo amendable pa...
puro analog lang sir ang connection.
medyo OT. the PC is separate from the audio/stereo set-up. kasi sa lakas nung volume nung built-in speaker dun sa SVGA monitor, hindi ko na kailangan i-ON yung audio set up.
sometimes you can find pre-owned bose speakers being sold at 10 to 20% of its B/N MSRP. and this is the route i took para malaman ko kung ano ba itong pinagtatalunan about BOSE speakers.
Okey rin yun ah.........Anyway I respected your choice of sound and that's also your personal taste. You can't be wrong for that.

Before anything else, Hi Kevlar.
You said you'll be insulted w/ the comparison. Why repeat the experiment?
I get to listen to Bose every week this year and 2-3 times a week for the last 4. In Kamiseta stores hehehe.
Would that qualify as 'first hand'? Not much difference w/ the mini components used by the neighboring stores.

Siy DIY sub'z yan ano? pang auto ba yan? are you using it as your subwoofer sa HT and using the car amp to power it?...
"They market cheap products, attractive to the moneyed market..." :o ??? ???
SO you call youre self "audiophile" eventhough you dont know what's the meaning of it? sige tagalugin ko na baka mahirapan kapa intindihin ito iho,... "Audiophile" eh hindi mo alam ang ibig sabihin nito? "kape" pa kaya? bata ka pa nga siguro mahirap ka patulan dahil napaka immature mo pag dating sa ganitong bagay... haggang ganyan ka na lang ba? wala kang definition sa field na pinapasok mo, dapat siguro mag aral at magkaroon kapa ng expirience, bago ka makipag usap sa ganitong level dahil mahirap bumaba sa level mo... period!!!
OO nga mga bro. If somebody needs sympathy and condolences that you feel you were sacked by any brand,,Go somewhere else. Basta kami happy sa Bose! and fortunately we don't share your sentiments. Who is immature now!
Mr. JFBagadiong is not against BOSE infact he even posted some good BOSE speakers from Japan, if you keep a close look at the situation, he's very particular in the BOSE missing numbers which will greatly affect the performance when the sound arrived at your ears so defining it ang noticing what's there and whats not and as much as possible defining the full 100% spectrum of sound make's you qualify as a true "audiophile", because for the fact he know's how to define what frequency is missing by merely lisiting to the speakers it self. If your an average listener and dont notice any difference between BOSE and JBL when you audition them that makes you just an average listener, but when you research and took it seriouly that field of study (eg. acoustics) then I can say you really can be define as an "Audiophile".
Well at least your enjoying your BOSE, how do you compare the performance of your BOSE against other similar speakers like JBL, Def Tech, etc etc... can you tell us the superiority of your BOSE? sa iyong opinion lang naman...

Hi Kevlar.
I don't think I can afford that expensive an experiment. Anyway, I do see your point. Maybe one of these days.
from the "bingi" post...
Sir you've already auditioned speakers like JBL, Def Tech, B&W...etc...etc...then still the most speaker that impressed you was BOSE that produces only 13.3 khz? what do you call that?.... total audible hearing?
Kasi wala silang ma idepensa regardig their purchase of the over priced BOSE speakers... kaya tinitira nila yung na enlighten na about BOSE...
Again and again im telling you redundantly "I have nothing against BOSE" all I asked of BOSE owners is to share their expirience with their speakers.
Coz, this post is to help our fellow novice hobbiyst, so they'll know what to expect just incase their planning to buy BOSE...
as for me i'll stop questioning the persons capabilties on how they accept the perseption of sound. I will rather share some BOSE information regarding these speakers, what to expect and not, whats there and how it performs, yun naman ang main pupose of this post... FINITO!!!
I have a BOSE 301 Continental Edition of more than 15 years. It was stored for a very long time after serving as my primary system in the past. I started using it again for testing my DIY amps (ok lang masira eh). When my resident HT front speakers were bought by a friend, I used the BOSE temporarily until I can buy a decent speaker. And my search started a couple of months ago...
I home-auditioned the Dali Concept 2 which was my favorite in the in-store auditions I had which included a couple of speaker brands/models. I was surprised how bad it sounded in the living room, which was not the sound I heard in-store.
I tried the Aurum Cantus Leisure SE (ata, yung parang pyramid ang korte), ok lang, but does not beat the BOSE.
I was so frustrated that the speakers trying to replace the BOSE is getting more expensive. How hard is it to replace a BOSE???
I had a unique opportunity to audition a high-end Paradigm, known for HT applications. This time, I invited an audiophile friend to listen and judge. I connected the Paradigm and had him listen, connected the BOSE andhad him listen. Then he asked me- "magkano yang Paradigm?" so I gave him the figure. He said "wag mo na palitan yang BOSE mo, maliit ang improvement with the Paradigm." The Paradigm was the best sounding speaker I've tried in that setup, but it will cost me a lot of money to justify replacing a BOSE!
The BOSE stayed, bumili na lang ako ng Dali na subwoofer.
The living room played an important factor and I still can't believe why the other speakers (Dali and Aurum Cantus) were not able to shine.
Oh well...
bumblebee,
I'm not talking about the standardized 'double-blind' experiment
conducted by professional reviewers.
You are just going to 'audition' the two speakers at your home
or at your dealers 'dedicated listening room' in a level playing field.
You are going to use your amplifier's left-right speaker balance control.
The results will be useful in characterizing your personal taste preferences
in speaker sound (it may not apply to others). You may then
wish to share your findings with the Bose owners here for them to
comment.
- Kevlar
Kevlar,
Thanks. If it's possible to bring other speakers to Bose showrooms, that would be best. Else, it'll really be expensive. You will have to forgive me if in my mind that would be like putting Paris and Achilles in the same ring.
Anyway, if I may sum up my point, I believe well designed products will perform well. A good product is a good product is a good product, regardless of personal taste.
My dealer actually sells B&W side by side Bose products! (He also sells Wharfedales).
He has a dedicated Bose listening room and a dedicated B&W listening room
but you can always ask him to bring the Bose or B&W in, if you want side-by-side
comparison of speakers in the B&W room or in the Bose room.
By the way, what are your speakers/audio equipment?
- Kevlar
Sir, B&W beated by BOSE, okey yun ah... A/B test ba ito? ano rating ng Onkyo TX DS 656 mo? and what kind of program material did use for testing? this should be interesting...
These are the kind of comments I would like to read in this Bose thread. First-hand experiences
or testimonials based on real experiences, not what 'someone else' or 'other people'
have said. This way, this thread will be more helpful and educational; not a 'Bash Bose here!'
thread.
I happen to like the B&W sound and I find it insulting to compare B&W with a Bose. It is even
more insulting to me if someone comments his Bose sounds better than my B&W because my
personal experiences say otherwise.
However, I appreciate the opinions of others (even negative) and I encourage them. It makes
me learn a lot more about the Bose sound and the complexity of hearing/taste preferences in
speaker sound.
For ganicru:
Can you invite me to listen to your Bose audio system? If you say it is better than B&W
then it sure deserves an audition, at least from me.
- Kevlar
Yung ibang BOSE lovers dito tend to bash the persons capabilities and questioning their qualifications being an "audiophile" for the fact they started to disrespect the advice of some previous BOSE owners.
kasi wala silang ma idepensa regardig their purchase of the over priced BOSE speakers... kaya tinitira nila yung na enlighten na about BOSE...

Sir Kevlar, with all due respect sir. I don't mean to offend you in any way. I'm not in to compete or compare that my Bose is better than your B&W. Well beauty or sound for this matter is in the eyes or ears of the beholder. We've got our tastes and we made our choices, let's just enjoy na lang what we have, in private. Anyway, we are not here for business. Bose is just a brand. It so happen that I love it more than any brand out there.
Just me.
aHobbit,
Hmmm... You have quite created a 'stir' in this thread... ;D
What do you have to say about Bose and what are your
current speakers and audio equipment?
By the way, how old are you? You seem to belong
to the 'Gen-text' age bracket... ;D
- Kevlar
Would you care to listen to my B&W system, that is,OT po.
if you live anywhere near Cebu? I tend to like
inviting B&W skeptics in my home and see them
transformed when they get out... ;D
Just a disclaimer:
I am not in any way connected with B&W.
I'm just an audiophile who listens to music all day
long while my tv sits around gathering dust. ;D

I have 8.3 and 8.1. I also have a DIY Coral flat 10" and 2 more unused 10inch drivers (FR), plus 4 units of foster 6inch mid-low drivers. I have a diatone full range with HF reinforcement (alnico). I recentlysold SAKURA 5 speaker system which sounds good as well. I recently purchased a technics SB-501 (http://www11.plala.or.jp/se_ke5583/TECHNICS/speaker/sb-501.html) , and 3 pairs of Peerless/Japan full range 6" vintage in unused condition - all real wood materials. I have the diatone DS-103V (http://www11.plala.or.jp/se_ke5583/DIATONE/diatoneds/)and teac s-300 (http://www11.plala.or.jp/se_ke5583/TEAC-ESOTERIC/speaker/s-300.html).
With BOSE, I went to Meralco theater to just listen to the cannon sub - wow!, then I intently listen to wave radio for 1 hour, interesting sound - why not so many popular hi-end brand do some, it might come out cleaner. I heard acoustimass - its a wow for the size, but dont know which one of them - but that is during the time the sub-sat is not yet that popular. I heard the 901 - a nice work of art.
I have Sansui AU-607XDecade, and alpha 607. I have '70 SS monoblock stereo amp (JFET devices with 8 ELNAs). yamaha 630 and vintage yamaha AVR1000 classA amp. have two technics SVI-based amp and a DIY LM3886 snubberized regulated stereo amp housed in a vintage Pioneer chassis (see the gainclone thread). I have a SONY AX-22 '70 integ amp (STK-based).
am almost mid 40's ;). I know how to read specs and I know how to listen to sound ;D. I have my audio technica heavy duty TT, a generic DVD player (i dont use its DACS, it is just a transport), and my tape recorder is a VHS (better audio resolution and performance than cassette deck, and cheaper nowadays). I dont take pinoydvd posts personally, so I take time to have fun in the posts, so make use of typical gen-text xpressions.
We're about the same age pala... (I recently turned 33.)... ;D
So that explains your 'posting' style... hehehe!
By the way, what's the 8.3 and 8.1?
(Speaker name/brand)
- Kevlar
Wharfedale diamond! :o
Seryoso kasi sa trabaho, so kapag maglaro, dapat naglalaro talaga. FUN ang posting sa pDVD kapag ganito kasubjective ang usapan - kasi walang defined na pwedeng gawing sukatan, so spaghetti pataas at pababa ang dating ng thread ;D ;D
Mas lalong ENJOY kapag may napikon na ;D ;D ;D, o kaya may na-expose na.
Of course, I also have sober moments kapag honest ang mga posts at talagang geared to additional learning. Yun lang, just learn how to be disagreeable - pag ayaw, magpatulan at pasensyahan na lang tayo.
O benta benta na, ng makabili kami ng mura mura! Me BONUS na po!!! ;D ;D ;D
Now, I remember... ;D
The Wharfedale 8.3 was the 2-way floorstander with silk dome tweets
that I auditioned together with the Bose 301 and my B&W DM600 S3.
The 8.3 sounds quite close to the B&W. It has that warm, 'forward'
midrange sound like the B&W and uses the same 'Kevlar' material.
It has less 'bite' in the highs (characteristic of silk domes) which
I liked in B&W's aluminum dome tweeters.
Anyway, very good speaker choice.
For a while I thought you had owned a Bose once.
:) Kevlar
Well that's for my HT taste. Two fronts changed. Need to simulate shifting of sounds from left to right di ba. Demo DVD disc yung may Saving Pvt Ryan.. U572...Gladiator etc. My Onkyo is 5.1 115wpc-6ohms Dolby Digital. As I have mentioned my Bose AM7 is 10 yrs. old na, Left Front Right cubes Channel na to. And one thing, parang sumikip yung room ko, ang laki kasi nung 602 S3 on stand pa and while I watched on my 36" Sony Wega TV, I am being disturb by its presence, napapatingin ako sa 602S3. Considering all my aspect needs, I maintained my Bose.
Sorry ha! hiniram ko lang yung word na 'cheap' sa ibang anti-BOSE posters dito. Mine is 'moneyed'. O, pakibaba kilay mo day!
O sige nga, mr JFBagadiong. Yamang d\hindi kayang i-define ng ibang katoto mo ang salitang audiophile, paki-define mo para naman maging objective ang usapan nating ito!
Maaring matanda ka na nga - at kung anu-ano ang sinasabi mo. Straight to the point - define your word 'audiophile'. At ayaw mo pa kunong bumaba sa level ko - atsos! Narinig ko na yang dialog na yan! Umamin ka na rin . . . mga nagmamarunong!
Ang di ko maintindihan - parang pikon itong JFBagadiong na ito!
Ah, hindi naintindihan ni hanns1976 ang mga posts. JFBagadiong attack the TASTE of BOSE lovers. Pakialam mo at ni JFBagadiong sa taste ng BOSE lovers. If the buyers made their decisions on the sonic specs of the product, by all means attack the buyers who made a wrong decision. If the buyers exercise their taste - for whatever it means - what is the problem with that. As taste is something subjective! So now you know!
Tulad nitong post mong ito - alam mo naman ang intention nito.
definitely correct!
Sir, if you really wanted to challenge hardcore audiophiles?? Try to visit wiredstate.com. There you can meet speaker brands, tube amps, analogue/digital sources, cables, speaker wires, etc. na never heard pa ng most Pinoy DVD members, and the price? baka triple+++ pa ng Bose. Sa HT pa lang tayo. Opinion ko, wala pa tayo sa kalingkingan ng tunay na "audiophile".
Just me.
Ah ... hindi na naman naintindihan ang post. Who said I was impressed with BOSE side by side with JBL etc etc? Probably, you mean I was impressed with the sound of wave radio ... good bass but mid-hi is not really clean - but can do for relax listening (or some sort). O, malinaw na ba sa 'yo?
Aba't nagmalinis pa! "BOSE owners list your comments"! E ang intent nya, turuan ang BOSE lovers to correct their TASTE. The thread are calling for BOSE owners. Tapos, gagamitin pala nya ang BOSE owners para turuan ang novices ng TASTE niya. At siya ay ang 'the enlightened'! Pakibaba nga ang kilay ko, bru!
O easy ka lang ang puso mo... baka bumubula na ang bibig mo sa galit... kung masaya ka sa BOSE mo suportahan kita baka ikamatay mo pa yan, makunsenysa pa ako...
O sige na magaling na ang BOSE baka mag maktol kapa eh...
Hindi... para sa akin pangit pa rin ang Bose. Mayroon akong AM15 dati. Nagsisisi nga akong nagpaloko ako sa speaker na yun. Sorry, pero yun ang personal experience ko.
O easy ka lang ang puso mo... baka bumubula na ang bibig mo sa galit... kung masaya ka sa BOSE mo suportahan kita baka ikamatay mo pa yan, makunsenysa pa ako...
Natural lang yan aHobbit ganyan talga ang feeling after bumibili ng BOSE speakers, not accepting the reality and as if living on another dimensions of sound... dream on bro... I hope its a nice dream, not a living nightmare...
be enchanted and hypnotized by BOSE sound... sana nga lang hindi ka bangungutin... :o :o :o
ang init naman ng thread na to... ::)
oo nga eh ;D ;D ;D.....it's really steaming hot here 8)
Ganyan daw talaga ang nagpapaloko, sabi ni hanns mo.
Bakit hindi ka pa binangungot? ;D ;D
O baka ang ibig mong sabihin, pangit ang AM15 mo, at hindi buong BOSE (maliban na lang kung napakinggan mo lahat produkto ni BOSE? ;D ;D ;D
Ay, baka ang pangit, e yung listening room mo, kasi kay arnoldc maganda pa rin daw BOSE? ;D ;D ;D ;D
O kaya, may ibang pangit! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Nagpapaloko sa mga metrics lang, nagpapaloko sa mga hyping at reviews lang, nagpapaloko sa naririnig nilang sound - doon ako sa pangatlo! ;D ;D ;D
On the contrary, i have great fun posting in reply to your and hanns' posts . . . kung mamamatay man ako . . . yon ay sa katatawa sa posts mo! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
init na nga, halos umuusok na ang monitor ko sa ka babasa ng thread na to ;D ;D ;D
matatawa lang siguro si dr. amar bose sa mga nagba bash ng producto nya. di parin naapektohan ang SALES nya lalo na ngayon na pasko. :)
ika nga:
Buy Other Sound Equipment
buti na lang at hindi ako owner ng BOSE - so am not part of the group hanns is refeing to! :P :P ;D
Hwag kang mag-alala, hindi mangyayari ang bangungot ko - wala pa akong BOSE sa bahay! :P Anybody wanted to sell their BOSE systems? pakiposts sa buy and sell at maraming naghihintay sa tabi-tabi! Hwag nyong ilagay lang sa garahe, pera 'yan mga BRU! ;D ;D ;D BONUS na, dalian lang at baka wala nang matirang pambili!
HAH!!! wala ka palang BOSE at never ka nagkaroon ng BOSE speakers? ohh well another pretender A-HOLE of another dimensions, wala ka naman palang first hand expirience sa BOSE so why then your giving any comments...Sir aHobbit, makinig ka muna sa Bose side-by-side ng ibang speaker para malaman mo talaga ang Bose. Nag post ka dito pero wala ka palang Bose sa bahay mo. Sa alam ko, yung time memory natin sa sound ay maiksi lang. hindi mo talaga ma-compare yung pakinggan mo dito at pakingan mo doon, kailangan mo yung side-by-side comparison.
kawawa ka naman sana ibinigay ko nalang sayo yung BOSE ko at baka matuwa ka pa...kaso walang kang pera pang bayad eh, hindi pa ako kikita sayo...

aHobbit no wonder why YOU LOVE BOSE, your system is quite old "70's" era and the technology is obsolete,70's era of audio is keen on power but not on processing and DSP's performances, maybe combine power of the 70's era with todays processing mas okey pa, pero as youve said in this post "I know how to read specs and I know how to listen to sound" yet still after auditioning several high end speakers, BOSE impressed you the most, maybe BOSE is quite new to you, oh well if you prefer that BOSE sound that is you, anyways I dont believe your mid 40's, coz the way to justify is as if your a 15 yr old brat, never knowing the facts from fiction. no wonder you take "serious things" as play things to you and you make fun of whatever's on your mind...
Sir aHobbit, makinig ka muna sa Bose side-by-side ng ibang speaker para malaman mo talaga ang Bose. Nag post ka dito pero wala ka palang Bose sa bahay mo. Sa alam ko, yung time memory natin sa sound ay maiksi lang. hindi mo talaga ma-compare yung pakinggan mo dito at pakingan mo doon, kailangan mo yung side-by-side comparison.
Ok.... you know how to read specs, nabasa mo ba ang specs ng Bose. Shipping weight and dimensions at saka wattage compatibility lang yun walang frequency response.
Please read this one so that you have an idea what are the specs of Bose.
http://www.intellexual.net/bose.html
Ok... ito nalang para hindi kana mahirapan...
I hope you know how to read specs.
Bininta mo pala yung sakura mo, sayang mas magaling pa sana yan kaysa Bose. Ang dami mo palang Hi-end gear, vintage pa, pero nagtaka lang ako kung bakit impressed ka pa rin sa Bose. Katakataka........
My first post in this thread already indicated my situation in the BOSE saga ;D – So I am not pretending :P. This includes my encounter with some BOSE products (and I did not say all). ;)
But you are calling for a 12T RX-V995 in the buy&Sell. I bought my HT for 20k! may pera ka nga!!! ;D ;D
Hmmn . . . talagang lagi kang gumagawa ng sweeping statement. Kaya laging mali ang information mo eh!
Aside from sweeping information, you also invent my posts. ;D ;D pareho kayo ni hanns na hindi nakakapag digest ng english information! :P :P
’70 era is the golden era of amps and speakers – and those equipment can survive yet another 20 years of life if properly taken cared of. DSP has nothing to do with final amplification of sound and the speaker. And technology development on this stage is not so much. The 20-20k hz of the ‘70s is the same.
I will not expand more on the above – I knew who I am talking here already – the real HOLE in person! ;D ;D . I also smells that you will be in pier one of these days because of my post today. You just tried to hide your HOLE in all your wrong sweeping generalizations and invented posts of others!!!
My last slide for you is this …
In the amplifiers - - -
The TUBES are still alive in kicking – era ‘60s
The CLASS-A and solid states are still collectibles – era ‘70s
What could be the devt in the 80s onwards are just the economies of scale in producing amps – mass production, lesser gauge chassis and heat sink, cheaper transformer implementations, LSI, etc etc – cheaper, mass market products.
In the speakers - - -
High sensitivity systems, real wood boxes that can stand the test of time, tank-quality speaker drivers. I did not buy just a speaker, but speakers that are high end in their time. Does their specs any different from today’s speakers? Nah! And do they become obsolete (as if there are processing machines)? Nah!! Your DSPs life is basically a year, and it will become obsolete!!! ;D ;D ;D
Now I make FUN of you because your storage is nothing but FICTIONAL information. 8)
Good day and good bye, Mr JFBagadiong – you are an interesting encounter for me in this thread! :D 8) ;D
By the way I'm not in the Phil. by this time, im still here in Europe, Particularly in Savona, Italy... so how can you say i'm goin to Pier one?
May ka-klase ka pala hanns ;D ;D ;D . . . Hulaan ko ha? ::) ::) ::) Teacher nyo si JFBagadiong? ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P
Di ko na sasagutin ito ha krell – basahin mo na lang yung post ko kay hanns, ‘yun yung mga reply ko sa yo. 8)

I know why you don't want to answer my post beacause I am sure 100% that you know how to read the specs of Bose speaker. You have nothing to say.
PEACE...........
I don't think it's practical to try re-discover things that are already discovered.
amininnnn ... ;D ;D ;D
Totally agree. Life is too short for that. And in this hobby, time is much too short to waste in products already proven to be mediocre in their price points.
You are entitled to your own opinion. ;D
But unless you have really compared your own speakers side by side
a Bose speaker in a level playing field, you will never have really
proven to yourself that you honestly, really prefer your speaker sound
over that of the Bose sound.
You may say, 'What's the point?' when the specs are there to see,
but you should remember reading about Bose and bashing it based
on what you read is not the same as truly experiencing the Bose sound
through side-by-side comparison and then advising against it.
My advice? Don't pass judgment on Bose unless you have really
tried the side-by-side comparison yourself. What is garbage to some
maybe gold to others. Who knows if you like the Bose sound better than
your own speakers? You really don't know because you have never tried comparing
them side-by-side. Specs are useful as a guide but in the end, it's
your ears that decide.

Sweeping statements (e.g. best written specs=best performance) has errors in it. Listen with an open mind! ;D
Is HK worth rediscovering? Nah, if you believe anything with HK logo in it is good in the house! Is BOSE worth rediscovering? Nah, if you believe all BOSE products are bad!
Oh, what a subjective hobby this is!

Is HK worth rediscovering? Nah, if you believe anything with HK logo in it is good in the house! Is BOSE worth rediscovering? Nah, if you believe all BOSE products are bad!
Oh, what a subjective hobby this is!
Excuse me, I've installed a Bose accoustimas in a couple of friends places in Glendale back in 91 and 92 from Fedco and Circuit City. At that time I didn't know it was garbage. I just went along with what my friends wanted and could afford. I certainly envied them for affording such pricey stuff, though I had pointed out an AR model costing half that sounded much better detailed. The only thing that impressed me then was it sounded like those mini-compo systems. There was no warmth on the vocals. No airiness in the classics. And when I played a CD I was familiar with, I could hardly hear some instruments I knew was there. For sure it was nowhere near my DIY 12" Dai-1chi 3-way speakers back home at that time.
But the accoustimass met the requirement of my friends for small and inconspicuous speakers for their small apartment. Even though they agreed the AR model had better detail, but they were floorstanders that needed space. I definitely agreed with the writeups on the net that Bose Accoustimass made excellent design to meet the non-audiophilic market needs for unobtrusive speaker systems. It was priced at $750 for a 3-piece system at that time. The reviews on the net since I first stumbled on them in 99 just confirmed my initial impressions. The Bose accoustimas and its lifestyle derivatives are plainly overpriced for their mediocre performance. Ok lang siguro if they're the only ones available in the market. But there are so many speakers out there providing much better value. There are perhaps worst sounding speakers than these, but their prices reflect their performance.
Oh, just for you info, Bose Accoustimas do not publish their specs that audiophiles expect from high fidelity speakers. The pathetic 13khz bandwidth and the aweful -10db deviations at certain frequencies was the result of independent lab measurements. With such lousy specs, I can understand why Bose would not publish them. And even if they do, a specsheet that say frequency response of 46hz to 13khz already eliminates it on my audition list. Specs are not everything. But they're a good start. I don't see why I should bother wasting my time to audition a product with lousy specs to begin with. If you want to, that's your call.
BOSE lovers before buying BOSE speakers, I recommend you check this speaker out…

Continue to reveal trash understanding of amplification and DSP!
The old computers are expensive when it came out - is it of value today? The DSP-Z9 is top end in DSP when it came out, is ITS DSP valuable today? ;D ;D - the amp, yes!!! the DSP, beats me! :P :P
And I smell one more thing between JFBagadiong and hanns :o - it seems like they are one and the same person - I just recall megablocks_27 and bambi in the 'interconnect' thread.
I can be wrong! ;D ;D ;D
Sorry, OT na po!
BOSE owners - sell na! ;D ;D ;D
by the way I'm not aquinted or either connected with JFBagadiong, it happens to be maka level kami ng understanding unlike you...
owwwsss!!! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D
hulaan kita . . . magka-level din kayo ng tinutuntungan ngayon . . . nasa Switzerland ka! ! ! ::) ::)
Malapit sa Italy ;D ;D ;D
BOSE . . . BOSE kayo diyan! (para di OT! ;D)
hehehe...
this thread is getting more and more obnoxious by the moment...
;D ;D ;D
The above photo's of VISA's is for aHobbits, he need's proof, so he wont again guess the persons location and personality...
With out proof, He again might think that me, hanns1976, krell, av_phile and other Pdvd's are one...
This is just for aHobbit's benefits, he really has insuffient understanding... thats why its getting horrible and out of the topic...
Oh well back to BOSE OWNERS comments....
JFBagadiong, hanns1976, av_phile and other Pdvd's,
Mag-contribute kaya tayo at bibilhan natin tong si aHobbit ng bose para kung mag-post siya dito atleast alam nya ang sinasabi nya. Kawawa kasi daldal ng daldal e wala palang experience.
Mr. ahobbit
look at this so you'll feel at ease...
Look carefully at my date of entry...

Happy?
Now back to BOSE topic....
As the subject says- post your comments. So here's my further comment.
I remember when I read the BOSE manual that contained the recommended distances for the top and side for the placement of the 301 (my particular model) which I followed then, basta tumunog lang ok na.
I used to have a big AV cabinet where the TV sits and the BOSE is on top of that cabinet positioned normally (pahiga) again basta tumunog lang and walang critical listening (I have a separate 2-channel setup). I disposed that big AV cabinet in favor of this nice AV rack from The Home Theater.
The simple setup includes Harman Kardon AVR130, JVC slim DVD player which model I cannot remember, 6-head JVC hi-fi VHS at the bottom. IXOS speaker wires for the front (BOSE 301 Continental) and center (Boston Acoustics CR-2), generic (reb/black) speaker wires for the surrounds (Boston Acoustics VRS Micro, ceiling mounted, not in picture)
(http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/5199/dsc008857ol.th.jpg) (http://img365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc008857ol.jpg)
You will notice the unorthodox positioning of the BOSE, the dual "direct/reflecting" tweeters pointing up, they are toed-in and in this setup, it can produce good sound. I was able to achieve imaging, soundstage and depth unknown for in BOSE speakers.
This post is specifically for the 301 model that I own and does not apply to other BOSE speakers as I never owned (I never intend to buy any of) them.
Ok lang magka-initan basta wag magka pikunan. Besides, this is way better than Pinoy Big Brother.hahaha!! ur exactly right. ;D ;D
@hanns1976, yes sir matagal na yan more than 15 years, and has MDF cabinet. i think the newer ones parang plastic??
This coming December ang baba ko sa barko, can you advised me kung ano magandang local speakers with sub,
The Bose bashing is really reserved for those accoustimas cubes. The baffled types are accepted in audiophile circles. Though I've encountered some bashing also on some Bose speaker models that you can't use without those Bose set-top boxes that are basically equalizers.
JFBagadiong, from his earliest posts in this thread, sounds like a seaman who has travelled the globe. Right, Mr. Bagadiong?
WOW! You've been abroad? ??? What's it like to leave the Philippines? For the benefit of others who browse this forum, PM aHobbit your travel photos, Visas, suitcases, winter clothes and other pics if you have issues with him alone.
I'm sorry but I cannot help but be amused by the VISA exhibit in a BOSE thread. Having owned a 301 for a good long time, it served its purpose then but tastes and trends move on so I no longer have them. ;D
Another strength of Bose speakers (especially the acoustimass models) aside
from 'size' and 'aesthetics' is its durability. It is highly resistant to the elements/
weather and can withstand severe misuse and abuse which would otherwise bring
damage to other speakers.
- Kevlar
I think one strength of Bose speakers is its ability to make FM radio stations
sound good and 'clean'. Its limited upper frequency response practically removes
all unwanted high frequency noise you typically hear over FM radio if you were
using full range speakers.
Of course the limited high frequency response also affects delivery of musical
instruments which produce high frequency sounds like triangles, violins, cymbals,
etc., but its benefits toward FM radio sound more than compensates for
this shortfall.

O BOSE owners who want to donate their BOSE speakers to aHobbit foundation, share for his benefits...
Merry Christmas nalang sayo...

he he he - again! ;D ;D ;D
OT again!!! ???
BOSE, like other branded gears, is part of the path one takes in gaining experience in audio - taste is taste, and experience is experience. I dont have a long term (owner) of BOSE - but I have my experience with them. In the same way that I dont own known branded so-called high end - but may have some experience with some of them.
It is not always practical to have long term relationship with a product (ownership), but this does not stop anyone to have a full impression of how a gear sounded like.
But to bash taste of other people (like here in this BOSE thread) is the one that is not right IMHO! Probably, this has been understood now, that's why some already made turn around posts and clarified position on the subject.
O di na OT!!! ;D ;D ;D
If some people will donate a BOSE to me (free yan ha?), my wish is the wave radio ;D ;D ;D
Oh I forgot to tell ya - sa eroplano ako bro, at first class pa (I mean, lahat kami)! :o :o :o :o :o :o O say mo!
To backwitz (walang pikunan :P ), I like the sound (and looks) of BOSE wave radio :o :o for easy listening ;D ;D - can you donate one for me? ??? ??? (ambag ka kay JFB and co.)

Im outta here..... :P
Simbang Gabi na!!!
Merry Christmas nalang sayo...
merry christmas to all !! lets put an end to this bashing and stick to comments on bose speakers :)
But I don't think that's the right way to make FM sound clean.
Why can't BOSE make good speakers like this anymore?
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d176/_Johann_Bagadiong/701s.jpg)
sayang good performer pa naman itong 701's. real MDF plus full array speakers system pa...
Oh well as time goes by, parang nag dedeteriorate na talaga ang materials nila, kaya nag kakaroon ng BOSE hatred like the BOSE AM series Cubes and Bass module...
kawawang aHobbit hindi maka bili ng BOSE kaya ayan kung ano ano ang pinag sasabi sa mga previous at existing BOSE owners...
hehehe! ;D ;D contribution naman dyan for aHobbits BOSE benefit's maawa na kayo Christmas naman...
I keep on reading about 'OT'...
What is 'OT' ba? Over the top? ;D
What about 'STFU'? ;D
I also encounter 'PM'.
I think it means private message?
What about 'bump'?
Some interpret it as 'same with me' or 'I second the motion'
but others say it's an acronym fro 'Bring Up My Post'
Which is which?
Lastly, does Bose really stand for anything,
or is it really just the family name of Bose founder,
'Amar Bose'?
;D Kevlar

Contribute to a Bose Acoustimas???for Him??? Firstly, i wouldn't spend a single centavo on it. Secondly, maybe a Xenon cube satellite will do for him. If sonics is all he's after. When you hear a Xenon cube, you've heard a Bose accoustimas. Same sound, almost the same looks, at a tenth of the price.
nangluluko na naman, wala na nga'ng pambili ng Bose kahit gustong gusto nya to. Nag first class pa daw sa eroplano. Ihinto na sana tong mga kasinungalingan to. Please tell the truth. Pasko pa naman.
Ang mga sinungaling alis dito. PEACE.........................
OK, now you can go!!! ;D ;D ;D
HINT: What benefit do a 20year officer of an airline has? ::) ::) ::) - PM ko sana sa yo eh, but at the rate you're going - iba lalabas na info!!! ;D ;D ;D
Eh kung may kapatid ka at maraming kaibigan sa foreign lands - e iba na 'yon, libreng hotel! 8) 8) 8)
O 'yung pangako nyong BOSE ha? Madali akong kausap - basta ba babayaran nyo, akin na ang BOSE wave radio!!! ;D ;D ;D
just want to share you guyz my bose accoustimass 16 set-up.............i know we have a different taste or opinion about this product but for me i feel satisfied of this gear..........

ADAVANCE Merry Christmass to all!...........peace not war........
Sir, Ganda ng place mo ah? share some expirience naman on you AM16, did you ever compared it with other speakers? Satisfied ka ba sa sound?...
AM16 greatest strength is the style and the size... like this show case...
Congrats sir, nice set up, at least you contributed on the topic...
so ok naman ang bose am16 as long as it serve its purpose........the only reason why i choose bose para mag blend siya sa living room at para maganda tingnan (even though hindi ko pa na-arrange ng husto).
about the sounds quality.............lot of other brand better than bose na pareho lang ang price nila or even lower than bose price. nakapag established lang kasi ng pangalan ang bose before but as an advise try to consider also other brand specially if you have limited budget........
actually during audiophile workshop sa hongkong last july 2005, we met the sounds scientist from US (3 lang ang sounds sceintist sa buong mundo) and we ask which brand of speaker he can reccomend but his answer "your ears can decide....not mine"
so tama si lumen sa SURF..............."kasing galing pero hindi kasing mahal"....hehehehe..........PRACTICAL!
lokohin mo lelong mong panot,...
^^ i purchased it in hong kong and it cost me 14.7k HK dollar or 100k pesos ..........
i have this gear 2 years ago so far i have no comment and im very satisfied of their performance, yah i agree, its really loud, boomy & very clear and i cant hardly believed that this cute speakers can deliver this kind of sounds............and one thing, habang tumatagal lalong gumaganda ang sounds quality.
mostly hotel & first class restaurant in hong kong used bose also as a background music and even HMV (well known DVD/CD/Audophile store) used am16.............
anyway guyz, i only share my experienced.
thanks
Nice anecdote sir. ;) ;)
BOSE products are head turners - for both audiophile and non-audiophile - for whatever reasons they have been impressed upon. And having established their niche in the upper consumer market, they have good following (to the disbelief of many 'so-called' audiophile) - you are saying audiophile store using them as well :o :o :o - and they continue to hold on to their own company - while some other much touted branded gears have to merged to stay afloat! :P :P :P
. . . and guys, was it the AM16? Is it a baffled implementation? ;D ;D ;D
PEACE (and FUN) on EARTH!

Hi mga bro!
Remember me, the one who owns a Bose AM7 and a pair of model 100 for my rear surround? Guess what, I upgraded my 5.1 HT system to 6.1 . I now hooked up my all Bose to my new AVR , Harman Kardon AVR135. I happened to buy a pre owned Model 100 Video speaker and install it as my rear center , completing my 3 Bose model 100 rear speakers. I can personally attest that Bose performance can really be improved by the receiver or amplifier that drives them. Harman Kardon and Bose, what a matched!
Just me.
Hi mga bro!
Remember me, the one who owns a Bose AM7 and a pair of model 100 for my rear surround? Guess what, I upgraded my 5.1 HT system to 6.1 . I now hooked up my all Bose to my new AVR , Harman Kardon AVR135.

I can personally attest that Bose performance can really be improved by the receiver or amplifier that drives them. Harman Kardon and Bose, what a matched!
Just me.
I just replaced my Onkyo TXDS656 (5.1 HT) with Harman Kardon AVR135(6.1 HT). Added up a back center of the same model of my existing rear surround (Bose Model 100). I noticed that the previously bright ( too much on high frequency) performance of my Bose AM7 with Onkyo became more warm and have more body on low end, dialogue became more solid and clearer. I can feel that the sound envelopes me all over especially during highly intensive scenes (e.g. Van Helsing , I robot, Troy) without the fatigue on highs.On DVD concerts, Wow! You won't mind the system anymore, they just seems to disappear.
Just me.
Yes, sound effects was more emphasized, clearer and with more body without distortion. I have no experience of my model 100 rattling. Mine is mounted on the ceiling, done it myself, giving my full force of making sure the screws were all tight, its all set at Large with 120hrtz global cut off on the HK, below that frequency all lows goes to the active subwoofer. Tried some of my audiophile CD's, ok din, but I still prefer my all tube audio set-up with epos spkrs.
Maybe its the wattage of your yamaha greater than the power handling capacity of the model 100 (80 watts max.). In that case you need speaker with larger power capability. My HK is 40 watts x 6 enough for the Bose model 100 to handle.
Agree. This is also probably why your Bose speakers sound better
with Harman Kardon AVR135 than with the Onkyo TXDS656 AVR.
You may have been overdriving your Bose with your Onkyo.
Actually, the latter (Onkyo), has more power per channel than the HK.
Most Onkyos are rated higher than 40 watts/channel into 8 ohms,
from 20Hz-20kHz, <0.08% THD [FTC rating]. They also tend to
be conservatively rated so they can have more power than stated
in the specs. Another explanation could be is that your Onkyo
is probably no longer performing as well as it used to that is why
even if it has a higher FTC power rating than your HK, it doesn't
sound as good as the HK. Or maybe, just your ears. Maybe HK
is 'dark sounding' so it sorts of 'neutralizes' the 'bright' sound of
your Bose speakers.
Sir, how about Yamaha and BOSE combo?
i know someone who has Bose setup all the way, from his pipe-in all over the house, a yammy/bose HT and a BOSE bedroom setup...kilala ko ba? pa pm naman...maliit lang naman pampanga...hehehe, :)
whenever im in his house these words always pop in my head
"if you nothing good to say...just shut up"
he..he
To think that I used to think very highly of Bose. :)
Looking around the SM Mall of Asia ... probably the audiophile brands salivating at the deal BOSE got from SM 8)
What deal? I have never been to SM MOA. ::)
SM MOA has BOSE boxes around their premises - ang pangeeeet ! ... hindi audiophile grade!!! ... I dont want to listen to SM MOA pipe in music !!!
;D ;D ;D
hindi kaya bigay lang 'yon? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
actually hindi lang SM MOA ang mga naka BOSE pipe in music,,, include also:
Milan Airport, Italy
Schipol Airport in Amsterdam
Also include:
BMW, Porsche, Suburban and many more...
Ano kaya meron ang BOSE? I asked one of the online queries at the BOSE site and this my interpretation of what they've told me: unlike 2/3 way speakers system, that uses multiple diaphram combinations of tweeters mid or woofer. BOSE uses a multiple 4.5" full range speakers that produces easily an array of sound spectrum over a broad wide range even at high volumes thus eliminating the limited SPL of multiway unequal diaphram size speaker system combination... plus BOSE drivers are weather proven to withstand harsh conditions...
aywan ko ba dyan sa BOSE na yan! parang enkato ang daming phenomena, tabi-tabi po...
btw sir jojo kamusta na? i have sold all my audio gears yamaha nalang ang na titira, Ive shifted kasi to photography....
pang enkantasya pala yan. ;D ;D ;D
oks naman, medyo busy lang nowadays. ;D
oks yan photography bro, dami din naloloko diyan ngayon including me. 8)
oo nga eh, im taking photography na into new heights, dati isa lang sa hobby ko to, ngayon magiging full time career ko na, recently applied for an international photogpraher at fortunately pumasa, kaya eto dispacha lahat ng audio gears ko. at least mag enenjoy na tapos kikita pa ng dollars hehehe!!!!
pang enkantasya pala yan. ;D ;D ;D
oks naman, medyo busy lang nowadays. ;D
oks yan photography bro, dami din naloloko diyan ngayon including me. 8)
Thanks sir jojo, btw, wat DSLR are u using ako naka film SLR pa eh baka dun na ako sa work abroad bumili ng DSLR required sa amin eh........ Actually, bibili pa din naman ako ng BOSE hehehe! pero yung good products nila for travel, yung I-dock saka yung triport earphones mukhang okey, para madadala ko anywhere. hehe!
sir aHobbit kamusta? actually oks naman ang BOSE and sa palgay ko, one way or the other yung mga audiophiles of today bago maging pihikan sa Audio eh, were one's considered buying BOSE products for them. parang lahat ng nahilig sa audio at home theater eh dumaan o sumagi sa isip nila na maganda ang BOSE. actually their products are not bad as we think, yun mga speakers naman nila sounds okey sa mga kayang maka afford, at yung name nila prestigous na. big brands uses their products kahit nga Porsche 911 turbo naka BOSE eh hehehe! ang ang lupit ng engineering ng Porsche tapos BOSE ang sound system, eh inisip din naman ciguro nila yun.
btw hows everything? concentrated ka pa rin ba sa audio? any new hobbies? si sir jojo nahihilig na rin sa photography eh hehehe!
Naku, point and shoot lang ako. ;D SLRs are way out of my league. Besides, side hobby ko lang yan - electronics will always be in my veins.
For most of the cars you mentioned, mas pipiliin ko siguro pakinggan (@6000rpm) yun engine instead of the factory installed BOSE sound system. :-*

I am not an audiophile nut :D - not into buying spree lately as surplus started to dwindle. Once in a while, I acknowledge good facia (I mean just facia :) ) of new systems - and amazed how much branded name audio (the usual suspects) try to introduce more channels into small (home) theater - kulang na lang, pati banyo may naririnig kang kumakalampag (surround effects) ;D.
I am not saying BOSE is not good - they are - that's why they were copied by those into 'so called' high end. What is really a wonder to me is the way their marketing gimmicks were so absorbed by those moneyed and cheapied ;D! If BOSE gear is being sold at a bargain - I think I will buy one. Inaabangan ko nga kung bibigyan mo ako eh! ;D ;D ;D.
I am about to transfer house so I packed all my audio gears na - but these gears will stay for long with me (with back-up pa & alternates - Yamaha 630 with 8.1 stereo; with peerless in 6.1 HT - before 25k & now 15k / NEC A10 JFET-based with Technics SB501 (8k) / dual T.amp with coral A10-100 (6k) / dual Technics X840 SVIchip-based with diatone 6inch full range (3.7k) / Yamaha AVR1000 classA with Akai SW125 - 5.6k / vintage Pioneer-revised regulated LM3886-based with Pioneer B20 FR - 3.5k / Yamaha 2x8" tower subwoofer - 3k). They are set-up at different locations in 2 houses where I usually stay. I just concluded that basically 90% of the boutique audio gears are just hyped things - and many cheapies can outperform the expensives. I am seeing other good audio gear which I want to buy at cheap price, but have to control myself! ;D ;D
I still listens to good materials (still have my TT, hi-fi VHS as my tape analog recorder, and DVD players) if time permits. No time for a new hobby!
dati point and shoot din lang ako eh, tapos it napunta na sa range finder tapos SLR then ayan DSLR na hehehe, parang newbie to audiophile...
tama ka dun na ako sa sound ng engine revs, hanef! yung "grrr!!!" sound ng flat 6 ng Porsche 911 turbo hehehe!
Most high end speaker systems not NOT THX certified. That's because serious audiophiles consider THX to be far below the standards for audiophile-grade listening. THX is for home theater. Not for audiophile-grade music listening.Yup. I agree. Except for a minor detail...
And that's probably what BOSE thinks. That they're speakers are audiophile-grade. Superior to home theater-grade.
Did Bose mention that Bose speakers are audiophile grade? What is THX certification anyway?www.thx.com (http://www.thx.com)
No BOSE did not think they are audiophile Huh !Who decides whether they are audiophile grade or not?
Some so-called 'audiophiles' thought that BOSE thought they are audiophile-grade! Grin
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?
It's like me against the world yan. Hindi naman lahat ng BOSE pangit,
Napansin ko lang po sa mga picz ng home theater nyo parang walang gumagamit ng BOSE speakers especially ung accoustima series nila. Considering ung price nila, ok rin b un sa 3x3 m n room for home theater? TIA

for my past time... use for videoke! ;D ;D ;DSame with me, 901 can be the best for videoke! ;D Especially for a small party! Inuman na!
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.. ;D
Same with me, 901 can be the best for videoke! ;D Especially for a small party! Inuman na!
Where can we buy 2nd hand? Anybody? ::)
I have a Bose 901. Series VI yata. For sale.
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?
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.
I don't own any Bose speakers and I probably never will even if I can afford it (just being practical). Anyway, I got to audition a bose desktop speaker set and I was astonished by the sound quality of the mids and highs. I was disappointed though with the Bose headphones that costs 3k because I have auditioned much cheaper headphones that sound the same, if not better.

Hi
Got a questions what receiver should be a good partner for BOSE 901 series3? Is this ideal for HT set-up or for audio?
Thanks
Hi,
I have been browsing here in pdvd for the past months but only until now when my father in law decided to give his old BOSE 901 (series III or IV??) that made me decide to build my own dedicated HT. Although I am not really a BOSE fan I am not quite sure yet what to do with it. Also I am no HT expert and I have the following questions.
1. What receiver should I pair with the 901s? I will mostly use it for Movies
2. Are these speakers good for HT or better of selling them?
3. If I decide to keep it what speakers should I get to complement it (surround speakers, center speakers,)
Hope you can help me with my dilemma
Thanks
hi there,
as difficult as it may seem, i believe the dilemma is not whether the 901s will pair up better. i think the difficulty is that this came from your father in law. thats really difficult if i were in your shoes. ;D
suggest you keep them, for audio purposes, and get another set of speakers for HT use. i would agree with alvin here that they may not be the best for HT use, but also definitely not the worst. am certain you would still listen to music and you may find the 901s not bad at all.
cheers and good luck.
If you find no difference in the sound, then by all means go for it.
Doesn't matter if anybody else says you should not orient it otherwise. ;D
From my experience (Yamaha satellite speakers), when I placed them horizontally the sound came out weird, the language and the effects seemed less intelligible.
I believe they are designed to use horizontally. It's tweeter is tilted and its mid is facing backwards, I can't seem to imagine how will it work right if positioned vertically.
yes the tweeter and mid are tilted. These are how ever "reflecting speakers" and the sound reflects through out (bouncing off walls and the rest?). In other words and how I see it ,( and I can be very wrong :-[ )the tilted tweeter and mid are reflecting the same surface weather horizontal or vertical.
I don' think it will give you the same result. Have you tried it? I actually did tried this before, wala lang trip lang... ;D but I got a different result. The tweets are designed to toe-in for the viewer, so if you do it vertically the only way it will go is down or upward. Will it give you the space you were looking for if you were to do it vertically? I think the difference is only minimal.actually the horizontal "foot print" is almost twice that of the vertical and yes my space is really tight.

the direct reflecting speakers are designed to bounce audio on the sides (through walls) ... not ceiling or floor
the units should have better sound reproduction on horizontal orientation ... just my opinion

question lang mga gurus...
how to connect the bose 901 and equalizer to my denon avr-3802?
tia ;D
Use pre-out then main-in kung meron yung denon mo, if wala from the RCA audio L/R ng source (DVD, CD etc) to receiver/amp RCA inputs. take note its analog source so no use ang optical if your using it for HT purposes use a power amp.
thanks for the quick reply... try kong kinabit sa tape input ng receiver ko pero walang epek yung equalizer, wala yatang monitor out yung avr ko... is there any other way? ;D
analog source lang bro L/R before going sa mains pero make sure may power yung eq maganda kasi yan sa old school amp like JVC victor may pre out/in kasi yun.
bro check mo rin kung okey yung eq at hindi sira. usually try connecting a CD player sa active eq 901 then connect mo sa amp.
thanks, equalizer is working... to solve the problem and to make the bose 901/equalizer work, i just connected directly to one inputs (cd). actually i used this 901 series for audio only. :D
thats good to know. actually ive heard a 901 (series 4 ata yun) old school na fabric yung surrounds nung mga drivers. ang layo layo ng tunog niya compare sa AM series nila. too bad lang its not for sale. for keeps ata nung may ari. hes using lang a cd player then eq before going sa power amp. though hes using high end cables (AR) its really rumbles, but not too harsh sa ears. grabe sa clarity. oakwood finish pa.
yup sir, sinabi mo pa, malayong malayo talaga difference niya sa am series, really enjoying my new 901... actually lahat yata ng 901 series was made of natural wood finish. :D
Mga bro, feedback naman sa Companion 2 (series II). I'm comtemplating on this unit over the Creative Gigaworks T40 series II. Plan to have a 2.0 speaker set-up for my notebook. Mostly for listening to music lang. Thanks for the info!

Mostly for listening to music lang. Thanks for the info!Go for it! I have one and very satisfied with it. Simple and more neutral than speakers using Subs ;)
That's one interesting article you got there. I used to have an AM10. But I sold it and switched to Paradigm.
proud owner of bose 901. i love them. have owned dyns, sonus and diapason but i love the 901 the most. Must have defective ears cause a lot of people think they are crap. but for me they sound great. :) was suppose to use this as my test speakers but ended up using them as my main.Ok naman talaga BOSE 901 basta maganda ang amp na gagamitin. Outstanding ang BOSE 901 sa HI and Mid details. Sa low frequency lang naman ang medyo di ganun ka detalye sa kanya. Pero iyong BOSE 901 series 6 that I tested sounded very good with a 100 watter Push Pull Tube amp and with ADCOM AMPS. Ang lutong nga ng palo ng snare drums at dinig iyong pagtama ng drum stick sa side ng drum...napaka natural.

I am using Bose HVC (speaker driver of Bose 901) for my zigma and coming cabinet double bass reflex. I am very happy and satisfied. The Hi and Mid are its forte talaga. Ang lupit.:)
/quote]
Am using the series 6. When I first heard this in an open space medyo bitin yung highs and lows. pero nung nilagay ko na maliit kung room am very happy with its highs and lows. I think this is very placement sensitive. now i think i would have to sell my sub.

Im a proud owner before of Bose 901 series I and IV, 601 series II, 802 and 301 series 3. I grew up listening to Bose speakers. It's too late for me to realized that those classic bose speakers are for keeps. :'(
I began my hifi journey na medyo hi end na at my standard with bose speakers. I had the 201, 301 and the 901 series 3 before. No doubt, ok naman ang 901 pero it is placement sensitive dahil sa design niyang using the back wall to reflect sound. After using and trying too many speakers, all i could say na for the price, mahal ang asking price ng Bose. Just take a look at the drivers they are using. Pati na ang MDF na gamit nila.
Pasensya na pero this is just my observation. I hope walang magalit na Bose lover dito. No flames intended. ;D

Did you know that bose 901 came up with bass module design for 901 but it was only released exclusively to japanese market. Yes you are right asking price of bose are very expensive.
Pasensya na pero this is just my observation. I hope walang magalit na Bose lover dito. No flames intended. ;D
If the 901s is a movie it would considered as a Cult Classic ;D+ 100
My very 1st speakers was a 101 powered then being plug into the headphone jack of my Technics Cd Player, good thing also it had a volume knob ;)
R&D for BOSE I think is one of the best in the speaker industry or maybe the best :)
A lot of DIY guyz are going crazy with the 4" full range speaker used in 901, Companion, 141 and 101. Most are used for zigmahornet enclosure HT style. Watch out for monreq new speaker box. :) :) Sorry brader for the revelation of your new project.Tapos na..nung Sunday pa. Na test ko na. Pinapapogi ko pa para mganda sa video. SQ? Tinalo niya Zigmahornet cabinet design sa bass region at mas natural ang tunog niya. Kasi sa Zigmahornet enhance ang midrange and midbass. Sa Double Bass Reflex design, neutral lang..pati bass natural o di masyado extended. Video will be posted later. :)
Bose 901 series 6...... should i buy or should i dont? mahirap bang ibenta ang 901 if ever hindi ko magustohan in the long run?For keeps na yang Bose 901. Collector's item na yan. A lot of audiophile guyz are going crazy about full range speakers. Kung mura ibigay sa iyo grab it. Goodluck... :)

Keep mo na lang yan Brader. It's the return of the Full rangers :) :)
Yup. mga 30k is fair price for a great condition used 901 series 6. Have been forced to sell mine due to some none audio project but will be back with a vengeance.
hi can someone tell me what model is this?
