Product Description
The Acoustimass® 5 speaker system delivers the ear-pleasing music of a symphonyor the dramatic effects of your favorite movie. The Acoustimass module produces low notes without audible distortion and can be hidden behind furniture. Rich, full music and movie sound appear to come from the small cube speakers, rather than the Acoustimass module, hidden out of view. Two Direct/Reflecting® cube speaker arrays deliver the warmth and emotion of string and wind instruments. Those sounds are lifelike and spacious thanks to Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology. With a blend of reflected and direct sound, this innovative Bose® technology recreates the way sound reaches your ears during a live performance. You experience the richness of your favorite music, from almost anywhere in the room. Connect this speaker system to the rear channel outputs of your home theater equipment, and enjoy the same superb sound quality from your movies as you do from your music. You can mount the cube speaker arrays to your walls, or display them on attractive stands with our line of accessories.
Amazon.com Product Description
Experience enhanced sound from Bose's most affordable, next-generation Acoustimass stereo speakers. The Acoustimass 3 system delivers bass that's the deepest and fullest yet. Two single-cube speakers--smaller than ever before--are elegantly designed to fit virtually any decor. And the module easily hides away behind furniture or off in a corner, so all the lifelike sound seems to flow from the tiny cubes.
You will expect to find much larger speakers when you hear the Acoustimass 5 Series III speakers. Yet the spacious sound actually comes from two tiny cube speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass bass module. The improved cube speakers offer enhanced performance, contemporary styling, and a smaller size than the Series II. And the improved module fills a room with even deeper, fuller bass. These Virtually Invisible speakers are the definitive answer to the question of how to combine spacious sound with space-saving design.
Though the Virtually Invisible speaker design may seem like a disappearing act, the performance is quite noticeable. Full, resonating bass and crystal-clear highs envelop a room in beautiful stereo sound. It's all the result of years of intense research and testing. The Acoustimass 5 speakers accomplish what no conventional speakers can claim: big, lifelike sound without big, bulky speakers. Now or in the future, Acoustimass stereo speakers can be turned into a home theater set by simply adding the compatible Bose VCS-10 center-channel speaker. For full five-speaker surround sound, add the VCS-30 center-surround speaker package.

bose is steady.......2006-10-29
Are they the best no.. Do they impress people who havent hear them before YES!! To me thats the best compliment, they are much more objective listeners
with no preconcived notions. All I ever hear is " Those speakers sound so Good" " I love those cool little speakers" etc. I've played everything from Bach to Dio and they sound very realistic. Subwoofer placement is key to having the proper bass level. At [...] they are a steal.. I paid [...]in 1991 and listen to them everyday they still sound like they did when new..
Why does Bose induce so many contradictory opinions?.......2006-06-02
I am not an audiophyle, just a music lover. My main system consists of Proac 140 speakers, MF x 150 amp and XRay cd coupled with PSU and MF DAC. I have a Michell Giro turntable. Whats this to do with Bose? may you ask. Well just intended to say that I am used to a middle range audio equipment with pedigree. It hapens that I spend many hours in a private office home, crowded with shelves, books and papers, so that I have no space to position box speakers. Recently I decided to purchase a Bose kit. My amp is a old Pioneer A 400, and a Marantz CD 76 MkII is my source.
My previous speakers were a Solid Ovale set built by B&W. It produced a boxy sound without live or body. Then the Bose kitt was seted up. WOW...WOW. Now my office is full of a rich and involving sound, realistic and detailed. I canýt undestand why are people saying there is no bass.... Well I have ears, and years of music listening experience. The results are amaizing. The most impressive is that I have the sensation of presence of musicians performing in the room. Probably stereo image is a bit confusing as is the sound stage in the classical sense of stereo speakers. However is what we got when listening music live. Can someone in a concert hall define the exact posittion of musicians while closing the eyes????. This one is a great speaker set. I canýt talk about buid qualities or engineering. Honestly I do not care if this set is based on cheap componets as some argue, since I am much more concerned about its sound, and it sounds lovely
Look at each negative reply--Marketing blah blah.......2006-05-22
Don't be fooled by the naysayers on the Bose speaker systems, especially the Acoustimass satellite systems. These speakers will blow you away for their size. I bought a Lifestyle system when they first came out back in 1994. I was amazed, and everyone who has never heard a LS system from Bose, is completely blown away by the sound from such a small package. The LS systems are overpriced UNLESS you need and want all their features (and then probably still given you could build your own theather system cheaper with "different" sound, but not necessarily better sound). You're paying for the SMALLNESS, not necessarily the BEST equipment.
These speakers we are talking about for this review my friend purchased after I got my lifestyle system back in 1994. She hooked them to an Okyio (sp) with about 100WTS per channel. Completely blew everyone out of the house, which was about 2000 square foot two story.
If you don't have bass, then I would advised investing in a amplifier with more than 10 WTS per channel. If you want to test the naysayers, just pick a set up and plug them in. If you don't like them, take them back. You will see that 99% of the people who bad mouth Bose have more to say about "Bose marketing, you suck" blah blah than the speakers themselves. Those who say they bought a 35 dollar set of speakers that blew these away are so obviously writing from simply hating Bose it's pathetic. If anyone can show me a set of 35.00 speakers that sound better to any random majority of people than these speakers, I'll send you a 1,000,000 check. But whoever takes me up on this, the reverse is true. You owe me 1 million if your random test fails you--so don't bother me.
Bose prides itself on spartan, small systems with VERY good sound, especially when you look at the size. And the bass in any Bose speaker system will not sound like your local low rider with a 20" bazooka sub in the trunk playing "Taste the Bass" CDs. In other words, you never get "boomie" loose sounding base from a Bose. They are very tight sounding, and if the CD calls for a "sub" frequency, you will REALLY hear it and feel it. Bose isn't into cranking up the volume gains and playing with frequency responses to get unnatural boomie, booingie bass that distorts the original music into a overpowering (headache inducing) Shiitey, boomie, boing, boing, boing sound. The Bose bass feels like someone patting your chest very firmly--tight, thump, thump like, very fast base response. Try the The Prodigy with the song "Diesel Power" and tell me these speakers don't thump. Yeah, right.
this system blows (not in a good way).......2006-05-11
do not buy this system. for the money there are much better systems out there.
I bought this for my family room mainy for the small size of the cube speakers. The main problem with the system (which bose has corrected by the way) is that the "acoustimass" component (bose's fancy name for a subwoofer) is not active (or powered) which means the base is totally inadequate and is overun by the cubes which have no mid or bass ranges. The result is that you get a very "tinny" sound out of most applications including dvd's. I ended up getting a sony active subwoofer and it sounds much better.
In hindsight I would have bought a different brand than bose, but already had to much invested in bose to scrap the system completely, and the size of the cubes is nice. Still pissed that I spent that much money on a substandard system, but hey, got sucked into the bose marketing machine.
Bose Rules.......2005-12-19
I am sorry to see the negative reviews on this board. I have had Bose speakers for more than thirty years. My first set, a pair of 601's is still functioning in a friends house. My 901 series VI blow away any home theater systems I've heard. With the direct reflecting sound, there is no need for center channel, rear channel. You just get realism in the listening experience that is unmatched. I have two sets of Acoustimas AM-5's and I am totally satisfied. I've had one set since 1991 and that is a tribute to the quality and longevity of the product. I purchased a second set when I finished my basement and they are nothing short of awesome. When I entertain, I almost always get a compliment on the sound of the speakers. Other reviewers have commented on the lack of bass. I would just say that you really do have to pay attention to the placement of the subwoofer. Bose intends for the subwoofer to use the floor as a platform to send the bass throughout the room. Placing the subwoofer nearer to the corner of the room sometimes will increase the bass. I have both of my systems set up with the subwoofer in a corner firing out at a 45 degree angle and the rooms are totally filled with deep rich bass.
I have always preached the gospel of putting your money in a good set of speakers. While your other equipment is important, the speaker system will make or break the quality of your sound. But with any speaker system, you have to finesse the placement for optimal results.

Customer Reviews:
Does not work with DVD+R DL.......2006-12-29
I recently purchased this item for my PowerMac G5 because I was interested in utilizing the Lightscribe technology. After installing, I was able to successfully burn cd and single layer DVD-R and +R discs. However, of the four attempts to burn to DVD+R DL, only one worked. Thinking it might have something to do with the blank media I was using, I replaced the Lightscribe drive with the original Superdrive that came with the mac and everything worked, so clearly the Lacie drive was having issues handling dual layer burning. As for the lightscribe technology, it looks really good (use the setting for best image quality when printing to disc, otherwise the image will come out a little to lite.) Since I already own the drive, I'm planning on buying a disc enclosure for it so I can connect it to my powermac externally, but for those of you looking for a lightsribe drive, I recommend getting the newer Lacie internal drive or the more expensive external if you have a mac and any of the hp internals if you're running a PC, that way you wont need a second drive just to handle dual layer burning.
LaCie 16x Lightscribe DL Int DVD-RW Drive (300949).......2005-08-11
That is the product that I had ordered, but I received an External drive that didn't have the Lightscribe feature, so I placed another order with an Amazon Vendor, who sent me the correct drive.
As for the External drive, I ended up selling it to a friend of mine.
Product Description
Advanced features and ultimate performance is what this 32" D-Series Stereo TV is all about. 3-Line Digital Comb Filter, Component Video Input, TheaterPro 6500K Color Temperature Setting, S-Video Input, 2 AV Inputs, XDS Auto Clock Set with ID Display and BBE High Definition Audio deliver a picture more vibrant, and sound more natural than any other standard definition TV.
Amazon.com Product Description
The 32-inch AV-32D304 stereo TV is an affordable ticket to big-screen home theater. The set's black-level expansion ensures detailed, high-contrast images, while TheaterPro 6500K Color Temperature adjusts the set's temperature to the ideal color temperature for viewing movies in a dark room. Its stereo speakers are powered by a stable 5 watts each, and JVC's HyperScan channel surfing offers the fastest action around, flashing you five channels per second.
The AV-32D304's three-line digital comb filter enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). An Apacon circuit further enhances low-level details for greater picture sharpness.
The AV-32D304 receives not only stereo broadcasts, but Second Audio Programming (or SAP), too, and you always have Hyper Surround to simulate surround sound from any two speakers. BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.
High-end component-video inputs accept video from compatible DVD players and satellite systems, while S-video and standard RCA composite-video inputs accommodate most other video sources. The set offers two audio/video inputs, one of which is built into the front panel so you can hook up a VCR, camcorder, or gaming console. A rear-panel RF input accommodates older VCRs, cable boxes, and antennas.
A multifunction timer turns the TV on and off for you when you're not home, or works as an alarm clock or program reminder; a sleep timer saves energy by turning off the set after you've nodded off. Other features include an interactive plug-in menu, half-tone onscreen display, V-Chip parental controls, closed captioning with text display, XDS (Extended Data Service) auto clock set with ID display, and an illuminated universal remote with DVD, TV, and VCR control ability.
