Happy pa naman ako sa 301 ko.   

[hattori_hanzo]

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.   

sir gamit ka ng DAi-Euros tore 4way system hindi ka magsisis malalaman at maririnig mo diff. mura pa nasa 7k lang pares na. yun nga lang sana may space ka sa living room or dedicated audio room. although slim ito eh mataas siya...

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.

[simonzaide]

yup i have to agree with the headphones i got myself a pair of the in ear headphones for 5.5k if memory serves me right... i mean it was good it didnt really sound bad but when i tried out the sennheiser in ears it was at par or better which was half the price of what i got

i currently purchased a 201 series have yet to hook it up

I have a pair of Bose Companion 3 ... bought from US for nearly half the selling price here (although by any standard, it is still expensive compared to other PC speakers) ... I'm very satisfied with the performance however, I never heard any other PC speaker sound this good ... mas ok pa sana yung Companion 5 because of simulated surround capability, unfortunately sobrang laki na ng box at di na pwede itago sa hand-carried luggage.

there are the same what I had, yung latest desktop speakers, bought it here sa US for 425 including tax plus may free siya carrying case. bro I cant say anything about the quality malaki ang difference niya compare sa ordinary desktop speakers, sa clarity oks siya, may free demo disk pa nga kasama pag bili ang problem lang is when you more a little bit further eh ayun, pang near field listening lang talga, problem kasi nung ginagamit ko sa laptop, I watched a lot of movies pag andito sa abroad. apparently medyo dissapointed ako, pero sa nearfiled listening like 2-3 feet away oks pa siya. mdyo overprice lang talga. btw medyo mabigat sa wt solid aluminum ata to eh.

I got the 1st generation AM15, ok lang sa HT pero hindi ganon kaganda sa sound reproduction ng music but it can play loud if you want. Although powered sub na, placement is crucial to get that bass you've been wanting to hear & feel (if you can). I have it installed in the bedroom because it's less obtrussive & it has the WAF. I also happened to hear my brother's in ear triport headphone of bose, bass is ok but the mids-highs are not that great & the silicone tips damages easily but bose always replace it for free. But my Phillips SHE9700 & Sennheisser CX400 sounded much better than bose in ear IMO, well that's just me.

[rustyns]

In 2001, I bought a pair of Bose series 2 bookshelves for 1k pesos from a guy leaving for the US. Sulit na sulit - ginamit ko pangkaraoke for a while (needed a sub pero hindi nagdidistort kahit sigawan ang mic). Ginagamit ngayon ng pamangkin ko sa kwarto niya.

[simonzaide]

hooked up a pair of 201's series 3 to my marantz 54d and i was totally surprised with the outcome.... it sounded really really great... was thinking of selling the 201's already but after listening to it my wife told me to keep it nalang 

[ricky]

Detailed aka bright aka natural sounding ang BOSE so IMO its good for movies yun nga lang sobra mahal

[xdaatom206]

How bout Bose 301 ?
Nag iisip kasi ako kung 201 or 301 ang bibilhin ko

I will be using 50% HT and 50% audio

Gurus please enlighten me

Thanks a lot

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

[ton2v]

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

I think at least 500watts to make this baby sing. but you have to have a nice walls to make the sound reflect. live sound having a surround system but only using fronts with 901's. 

good luck bro...

[Poorsche]

Well try it out in as many possible ways to see if it really is up to your liking. If not pm me...

For me, I would sell them, they are not suitable for HT because you cannot control the dispersion pattern of these speakers. Remember these are direct reflecting speakers, more than 80% of its output are reflected at the back wall by the speaker. With HT, you need speakers that the dispersion pattern is controlled especially the vertical dispersion. You want precise localization with your frontstage, the 901 cannot do that.

[ǝʞɐɾ ʎzzɐɾ]

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. 

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.

+1...

A father in law can be your best friend or a very nasty enemy... selling them right now is like saying your father in law has a bad taste in choosing speakers so I suggest you keep those Bose first... 

[streetsmart]

If I'm not mistaken, the 901 has 8 drivers firing towards the rear and 1 firing forward. I think they are excellent for parties -- ambience. That's what I use them for. 

But I believe they aren't great for any other purpose.

[dannielsimone]

Perhaps some of you can help me with this.  Am using my Bose 301 as fronts in my HT.  I have limited space so can I stand the Bose on  a speaker stand Vertically or is it a must to place it horizontally as so many do? 

I personally find no difference in the sound quality either way.

What do you guys think?

[blued888]

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.

From my experience (Yamaha satellite speakers), when I placed them horizontally the sound came out weird, the language and the effects seemed less intelligible.

Thanx for your thoughts there blued888. I have been using it 99% (over the many years) for music and found when placed vertically it was sounded fine and never even considered to place it horizontally until I had seen some doing so on this forum.  In the Bose shops all the 301 and 201 are placed horizontaly.

Am hoping a few Bose users could tell me there experiences.

[frootloops]

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.
