Amazon.com Product Description
A versatile choice for both listening to music and appreciating the sonic splendor of big-budget blockbusters, the Bose 161 multipurpose speaker system offers topnotch sound in an elegant package. Unlike conventional speakers, which radiate sound in a single direction, these speakers use Bose's Articulated Array and Stereo Everywhere technologies to project sound throughout the entire room, so listeners in the corner can appreciate the same subtleties as those in the middle. In addition, the proprietary Twiddler drivers (two 2.5-inch drivers in each enclosure) make the speakers sound much larger than they actually are. The end result is a consistently impressive sound field that simulates the cinema experience. Meanwhile, the speakers' actual size--they measure 11 inches wide by 4.12 inches tall--belies their big sound, so you can store them easily in compact locations, such as small dorm rooms or crowded offices. They even come with mounting brackets for installing on a wall or ceiling. The speakers' sleek black housing also blends into practically any décor.
Additional features include magnetic shielding, which protects your TV from video interference, and automatic overdrive protection. The speakers are computer tested for quality and reliability and carry a five-year warranty from Bose.

Perfect for home theater!.......2007-09-08
If you have plenty of bass these speakers will work on either the front or rear channels. I have them on both the front and rear channels and have a 10" JBL powered sub and a Klipsch center channel and I am very happy listening to music or watching a movie or t.v. My room has a tile floor and is 17ft.X20ft. and the receiver is the 5.1 channel Yamaha HTR-5440 with only 65W RMS and there is plenty of volume (I only turn it up 1/4 of the way) and bass (sub volume is 3/4 of the way up).
Great surround speakers.......2007-07-02
I think it IS amusing to read the previous reviews. Of course you need a sub with these speakers. Bose states that these are for back and surround systems. I can agree with one bad review, the Bose center channel is not a very good speaker. That is why I have different speakers, Polk sub, JBL center, Acoustimass 5 as my front and the 161's as my back surround. The 161's are clear and crisp and great for movies and music. Play some George Benson and hear the "pluck" of his strings on these 161's !!!
Great for what they are.......2007-02-27
I think these are great speakers considering their size and they are a very good value for the price. I've been putting together a fairly complex sound system in a large house and used the 161's for a tight enclosure space that yet had to work in a much larger room than they were ever intended for. The result was that I've gotten a second pair. I wasn't expecting much in the way of low end performance yet these are decent and the rest of the range is impressive. My only issue is the mounting system is chintzy, and I found the speakers slipping down from their own weight. A trip to the hardware store was required which is no huge deal but then again, come on Bose, you cheaped out on the mounts. Just IMO for what it's worth.
Good For Center Channel as well!.......2007-01-27
My New Samsung DVD 5.1 system has TWO output wires for Center Channel...I just had to upgrade the Center Speaker because we couldnt hear the voices over my quality speakers...(Cerwin Vega/Bose and Yamaha)...I was having a hard time figuring out how to upgrade the Center channel since most of the Center speakers only have One Input...I started looking at high quality bookshelf/rear channel speakers...found these...listened to them at best buy and circuit city...and got them...laying them down on my TV stand where the Center goes they are thin enough to not impair TV viewing....Hooked them up and maxed out the center signal.....WOW!....So much better than the little speaker that came with my Samsung...TWO separate channels for Center pumping through these sounds great!...I can recommend them as very good for the Money...I feel Center channel speaker pricing is not realistic...from $50-$1500 dollars for one speaker?...that is insane............these are a great value and Upgrade.....I hope this helps
Excellent for Surround channel.......2006-07-20
These speakers are really intended for use as surround speakers. I recently upgraded my 5.1 receiver to an Onkyo 7.1 with 100 watts per channel. I've been using Klipsch speakers L/R and Center and Boston for the side surround in my existing set-up. My home theater room is not large, about 13 by 20. I thought it would be nice to add the two rear speakers to my existing surround set-up. I am a professional musician and a movie buff. Quality as well as versatility are both critical for my listening. My son (also a musician) already uses Bose 161s for his surround set-up and recommended them. I have not been disappointed. I tested them with some of my THX encoded DVDs and as rear channel speakers they fit in seamlessly.
I can't testify to the performance of these speakers as primary speakers. Some people have used them this way with apparent success, but Bose really did intend these as surround speakers and for those on a budget or dealing with limited space they are ideal for the intended purpose. As surround speakers I rate them 5 stars.

Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy rich, full sound from music or movies with this compact pair of sleek Bose speakers. Whether placed on a desk or bookshelf or mounted on a wall for use as surround speakers, these speakers are designed to deliver balanced, spacious sound with minimal or moderate amplifier power (10 to 100 watts per channel). Automatic protection circuitry keeps the speaker drivers from being overdriven, heightening the speakers' reliability without interfering with your listening.
If you'll be using them in a home-theater capacity, keep in mind that they're designed to blend seamlessly with the Bose VCS-10 center-channel speaker and any Direct/Reflecting Bose speaker system.
Unlike conventional speakers, which radiate sound in a single direction, these speakers use Articulated Array driver positioning and Stereo Everywhere technology to deliver balanced sound throughout your listening area. Further, Bose's two 2.5-inch proprietary Twiddler drivers per speaker move more air from their small enclosures than similarly sized conventional drivers, creating a sound you'd expect from much larger speakers.
Be sure to use the proper gauge (or thickness) of wire or speaker cable for the length required to run the distance between your amplifier and your speakers. If the length is 30 feet, use a minimum of 18 gauge (.75 mm); use 16 gauge (1.5 mm) for 45 feet or 14 gauge (2 mm) for 70 feet. Supplied custom mounting brackets offer a range of placement options.
What's in the Box
Two speakers, self-adhesive rubber feet (three per speaker) for shelf positioning, wall-mounting brackets, and owner's manual.
Customer Reviews:
Bose- Poor products driven by advertising hype.......2004-02-04
Bose is a fascinating case study of what the power of advertising can do for products that are acknowledged within the audio industry as being cheaply made and technically outperformed by all of its competiters. Based on audio theories from the 1960's and parts of lower quality than what can be bought at Radio Shack, Bose has built an incredible empire out of poorly designed products driven by a huge advertising budget creating an aura of "Bose".
Consumers should do their research before shelling out money for Bose speakers. A google search will bring you to epinions or audioreview websites where you can find review after review, mostly negative, from buyers of Bose products.
The commonly accepted wisdom in the audio industry is that Bose makes low audio quality products and sells them at very high prices. In other words those Polk, JBL, Wharfedale or Infinity mid-fi products you can find at Amazon are usually higher quality at much better price points.
Compare the sound if you ever get a chance. Make sure you DO NOT depend on volume, in other words volume is a bad indicater of quality. Listen for the high and low notes and to the clarity of the music. Tough to do in a showroom at Circuit City or Best Buy, but even there the differences will show up. Bose attempts to prevent consumers from doing this by segregating their products away from the competition.
After this you might look at online audio magazines (do a google search), Audioreview (one word) and Audiogon. You'll find whole NEW world of audio products such as PSB, Paradigm, Vandersteen, Quad, Sonus Faber, ACI and many more who's products will put you on a much higher level of audio than you'd ever imagine. Usually these speakers are SEVERAL times more electronically sophisticated than Bose at the same price! What you won't find in these websites of magazines are Bose articles. Bose just isn't taken seriously by the industry.
Good luck and happy hunting!
Wonderfully transparent sound, reasonable price.......2003-05-29
We bought several pairs of these 161 speakers when they were first introduced a little over a year ago. We use one pair for the surround speakers in our theater system, and a pair in each of the other rooms of our home.
Although we are longtime Bose fans, we decided to audition these in an audio store as we had been disappointed in a Bose center channel speaker we had purchased previously, (based on reputation, we didn't listen first!). We were favorbly impressed in the store and have been very pleased with them in our home. Regardless of room decor, the speakers produce clean, stereo sound. (Its possible to identify orchestral instruments and their location!)
These speakers are very linear above 80-90Hz, to the audible limits. They drop off rapidly below about 80Hz. Bass frequencies are adequately reproduced for orchestral music but will need to be augmented for heavy bass or special cinematic effects. (sub-woofer)
These speakers are intended to be wall mounted and are easily installed with the included brackets. They do not sit well on a shelf!

They reflect a long and distinguished history of product excellence dating back over 100 years. Today, the company's product line is one of the most extensive in the industry, including corded and cordless phones, answering systems, and phone-related accessories. AT&T cordless telephones are perfect for a person who wants mobility and flexibility while making calls.PRODUCT FEATURES:New 5.8GHz DSS technology;Digital Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping technology;Sound select;Cordless handset and base speakerphone;Handset vibrating ringer;Analog and digital clock displays;50 name / number directory;Intercom / conferencing / call transfer;Lighted keypad.
Amazon.com Product Description
This innovative cordless telephone from AT&T operates on the powerful 5.8 GHz frequency. Its classic design provides comfort and ease of use along with advanced features, including a three-mailbox digital answering system, adjustable sound settings, the ability to run up to six handsets (one included, five optional) with only one jack, and speakerphones in both the handset and base.
The dual-band (5.8 GHz/2.4 GHz) design allows the base unit to transmit with more power in the 5.8 GHz frequency band and with greater efficiency at 2.4 GHz. The phone's true duplex transmission keeps the incoming and outgoing signals from interfering with each other.
The LCDs on both the base station and the handset provide caller ID/call waiting information (provided you have a subscription to caller ID service through your local phone company). The 5840's expandability with up to five additional handsets eliminates the need to hard-wire multiple extensions throughout the home. One phone jack and one power outlet are all you need to connect the 5840 base station and handset, while each additional AT&T 5800 handset requires only a power outlet for its compact charger/cradle. Calls can be transferred from one handset to another.
The 5840's enhanced audio technology derives from advances in acoustic design that have improved the frequency response relative to conventional cordless phones. The Sound-Select feature offers four different audio settings: bass, mid, treble, and natural.
The handset receiver lights up with incoming calls and can also be set to vibrate. It stores 50 names and numbers and works with your caller ID service to remember the last 50 callers. A spare-battery charging system enables the telephone to work even in a power outage. Choose from eight ringer melodies. Use AT&T replacement battery 2401.

Base unit, handset, battery, AC power supply/charger, telephone line cord, instructions, warranty information
Note: The AT&T 5840 is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer AT&T E5860 instead.
Customer Reviews:
Broken after only 8 months!.......2007-05-05
This was a fairly good phone for the first 8 months we owned it.
Clarity was exceptionally good.
We wish the volume was better - expecially with a headset plugged in. Because of my job I have my hearing tested anually by the department of defense and know that the problem is indeed with the phone and not me.
The phone now does not work reliably. The headset intermittently shuts down mid-call without warning. We often get beeps with an "AT&T G24" advisory flashing in the display along with a flashing blue light - it would seem that the handset now has problems communicating with the base. Pretty dissapointing for a product that was and still is so expensive!
nice phone.......2007-01-26
it is a nice phone for what use it for..i have 3 ext. phones to go with it..it works all around my property, with no problems
No big improvement.......2006-11-10
We bought this phone to replace a staticky earlier model. It behaved just as badly in the same outlet as the earlier one, so we moved it to another room where it's fairly static-free. In other respects, it is an improvement: more features, and the sound is noticeably better. But it is still as vulnerable to static in certain settings as the old one.
Advertised as wrong product.......2006-08-25
This phone was advertised as a 3 line phone--I checked and re-checked tht listing on the description when purchasing---and now that I want to return it, I get NO RESPONSE from Eek Technology whom it was purchased from.
*POORLY LISTED
* NO CUSTOMER SERVICE ON A RETURN
* WON'T DO THIS AGAIN!!!
Great phone.......2006-07-21
This phone is a great buy. I bought mine three years ago and it still works fine - I find none of the problems other people have mentioned. It is true that the battery eventually needs to be replaced, but that is always the case with any phone battery.
I easily have replaced my battery only once, and the phone continues to work fine. The reception is good, and the range is more than adequate for any household. Also, the phone is of solid construction, I have dropped it several times over the years and it still works fine. I think this is one of the best phones out there. Other people have made some complaints, but mostly it is apparent that they just didn't know how to properly use the phone.

Best AT&T Phone We've Had! .......2006-11-03
We moved to a new state and not knowing what serviceswere available, we ordered the phone/answering machine. We use the phone/answering machine every day. This is absolutely the best product from AT&T we've ever had. We would purchase another one if needed.
Time-tested basic system.......2006-07-20
This is my second purchase of an AT&T 5840. The first was three years ago.
Price comparison caution: Some pkgs include only one handset, others have 4 handsets and extra chargers.
Pros: Easy and intuitive to use; durable handsets have survived dropping on hard floors; does not interfere with my wireless computer network; good range, no dead spots in house or yard; recharchable batteries have lasted over 3 years and are still strong; base unit battery is interchangeable with handset batteries;
Cons: Base unit speaker damaged by playing volume too loud; handsets are too large to fit in your pocket, but belt clip is good; handset memory is lost when battery is completely discharged, but beeps before going dead; less than 50 possible remote access codes
