BOSE 301-V Stereo Loudspeakers (Pair) - Black Reviews
| 122 of 132 people found the following review helpful:  Pleasant but over priced, By This review is from: BOSE 301-V Stereo Loudspeakers (Pair) - Black (Electronics) Summary: A pleasant sounding speaker for back ground listening but over priced and out classed by the competition. Tonality is distorted to produce pleasant sound rather than accurate sound. Bass is loose and wumpy sounding. The 301's can shake the room but only over a limited range of bass frequencies. Direct-reflecting design hurts imaging. The combination of bad imaging, unrealistic tonality and loose bass make them a poor choice for home theater. Fit and finish are only OK for the price. Background: My roommate has a pair of 301s set up in our living room. I have a more expensive "audiophile" type system set up in the side room. Often I think it's hard to get good product reviews off the internet. You either have the people who *hate* the company (pick one) and are out to trash the name or you have people who bought the product and are defending their choice. You rarely have someone who has spent considerable time with the product (not just 15 minute store demo)...

Second, what I don't know about acoustics would fill multiple volumes of encyclopedias. I tell you this up front so you'll know the perspective this review is written from. We ordered these speakers after listening to them at a major electronics retailer I don't think Amazon will let me mention by name. Delivery was super quick. Be aware that these are large and heavy by bookshelf speaker standards. Setup was a breeze; I'm using an older JVC CD player/receiver we've had stored for years. The first music I played on them was a duet Jazz CD from Boney James and Rick Braun. I was just a tad disappointed. Don't get me wrong: sound was full and quite crisp, but the stories about Bose products being heavy on the bass are definitely true. The second CD was a greatest hits collection by BB King. This time the speakers KICKED A**. The sound was powerful yet...

The amplifier that drives them is a plain-vanilla Sherwood purchased new about 9 months ago from the Radio Shack. These speakers may not be the absolute best in every category, but I find them very musical, and nowhere near as bad as some of the negative buzz would suggest. I listen, critically, to classical music but also to many other genres in a relaxed way. I am most impressed by the warm and three dimensional quality of solo instruments. Winds and brass are very appealing and lifelike. I have reservations about the string sound, which can get a little wiry, but before coming to a more definitive judgement I will need to try different recordings, and to fine-tune my amp a bit more. The sense of space created by these speakers is very fine. There is a lot of bass pumped out in orchestral... Read more |
