 They sound good in the showroom December 14, 2004

I was impressed with these speakers when I heard them in the showroom, but even after a lengthy break-in period I found them fatiguing. Other than that, the bass is weak and the build quality is unimpressive.
Not bad, but Not great either! August 23, 2004

Bose 301's have a time-honored tradition that is trademark Bose. I have had several lines of Bose speakers and each has impressed me. However, as I mature, grow, and learn to appreciate finer details in audio and loudspeakers, I find that Bose is falling off. The quality of Bose themselves is still good, but I'm learning to discern what makes a speaker great and what makes a speaker just average. Take these 301's. If you are fairly new to audio, then you will find them exceptional. But then again, a complete newbie would find almost any speaker that doesn't distort, exceptional. So what's great about the 301's series 5? Well, I find them well suited for rear speakers in a 5.1 surround sound setup. They handle this function with accuracy and create a well-dispersed sound field that I find quite enjoyable. However, as main speakers, I just can't get excited. The 301's leave me disappointed and desiring more. Bass is tight, but porting seems too noticible. Midrange is flat and not as forward as I'd like. High frequencies are fine and probably the best quality this speaker has going for it. All in all, I would pass on the Bose 301 Series 5.

I purchased BOSE 301 speakers and am thoroughly impressed with their performance. They are exceptionally clear and accurately reproduce the music. These speakers are an incredible price performance value!!!

While it may be true that some other products out-perform Bose products (such as: Cambridge Soundworks 'Radio 740" vs. Bose 'Wave Radio/CD'), but not in the case of the Bose 301 Seres V Speakers and most of their other speakers. The other reviewer rated this one 1 star because of a few of the Bose products are not as good as other alternatives, but his/her judgement over these "few" maKe his/her decision/epinion of all of the Bose products.
If anybody were to put any other products in the same arrangement and of similar size as these pair of Bose Series V 'Bookshelf Speakers', those products could not reproduce the same Soundstage (Live Atmosphere / Spaciousness) as these. AND I'VE TRIED HARD, but cannot be done with a similiar pair of bookshelf speakers! Not Going To Happen (so far :) :) !!!!!
Thus I have selected these pair (over careful research) as front and rear speakers for my Home Theater System [with my Polk center speaker & Bob Carver Subwoofer and my electromagnetic shaker The ButtKicker (mounted underneath the couch!!).]
I wish others shall be able to come to the same conclusion as my careful research has concluded. And for the intelligent people to choose these Bose Series V speakers, the best of happiness and enjoyment as I have.P.S. Sometimes "Simplicity outweighs Complexity" when refering to speakers of this magnitude!

Goes great with LCD tv's.... Makes a great addition to a 5.1 system. Awesome sound, just what you expect from Bose.
