BOSE 201-V Stereo Loudspeakers – Black
A lot of people think that bose is the greatest. But have you ever went to a place like circuit city or ultimate electronics and asked a sales rep. what they think of Bose? I used to think Bose was the greatest until I heard them and compared them compared them to a speaker company like Infinity, for less! Bose do have their fans but stay away from Bose you will be happier. The drivers ( the actual speaker inside) on Bose are made of paper. Bose speaker also rely on reflecting sound so, if you don’t have a square room you will be digusted with the sound and not even hear most of it. They also sound distorted at low and high volumes. Do not buy this speaker, don’t waste your money.

It is obvious from most negative reviews of Bose products that either the reviewers are just insanely prejudiced against Bose as the world leading speaker manufacturer or they have never owned a Bose product in their lives.
The Bose 201 Series V bookshelf speaker is the best in its price category. It offers a wonderful soundstage that other speaker brands in the price range simply cannot match. They are good as primary front speakers and excellent as rear surround speakers in a home theatre entertainment setup.
One could get even better performance for a little bit more money from the 301’s. The latter are arguably the greatest bookshelf speakers the world has ever known, both in terms of performance and price.
Long live Bose Speakers!!!

If you say Bose distorts you have never heard their systems! Bose systems NEVER distort! The reviewers here saying that are crazy! They havent even gone to a Bose Store! Then they say the materials Bose uses are crap and they use paper.. I own Klipsch speakers and the Bose are almost like Plastic! The Klipsch are plain paper I could break with a pencil!! Then they say Bose speakers rely on reflecting sound.. they dont! the reflected sound just adds spaciousness and by the way, only some Bose speakers use the reflecting technology, so Bose haters can shut up and go to h-ll! They claim to be experts and have a lot of knowledge about Bose, but trust me, Ive compared A LOT to Bose, and Klipsch, Polk, Infinity and anything you name will always be a level below Bose.

I’ve owned Bose 201s, 301s and 901s in my life. Then I began to get into speaker building kits. My eyes were opened. I began to learn about crossovers, tweeter construction, woofers and cabinet resonancy. I also began to seek out commercially sold speakers for ideas and for quality.
That is when I began to see just what a joke Bose speakers really are. For the same price, consumers can get better quality sound, build and design from Polk, JBL, Infinity or Klipsch. And they are the commonly available makers.
While the Bose 201s aren’t as horrible a value as the 901s, you’re still foolish to get these when much better higher quality speakers are out there.
An indicator of Bose priority is the fact that their advertising budget is higher than their research budget. Hey, its your dollar, if you want to waste it go right ahead, but done’t fool anyone else about Bose ‘quality’.
