These are great speakers. Added these to an old tuner system that I added an Audio-Technica LP120 turntable to, with a small pre-amp, and it sounds great! Probably should add a graphic equalizer to shift for more base. The Beastie Boys' Brass Monkey would sound better if I could boost the base more.

Great sound and efficient bass from this Series V Acoustimass system for my small space (actually a fifth wheel RV). Purchased specifically to use with my 40" Sony tv, it produces incredible clean sound. The bass is not overpowering but very targeted.

I've read many negative reviews about these (positive as well). I would rate them an 8.5 to 9 on a scale of 10. I played with these quite a while during set-up. Wiring, placement and amp quality are huge variables with this system.

  High and mid-range sounds from the cubes are very crisp, especially during gaming. System has a good all-round sound for the xbox 360, dvds and for music but fall short of excellent. The cubes deliver an amazing sound volume for thier size and look great on the top of the piano.

  Bose should make it clear that the base module is not a powered sub-woofer. It does not deliver any where near the lows of a powered sub. This did not matter to me because I planned to add a sub anyway. Base module is not all that easy to hide.

My last Bose Acoustic system was purchased in 1994. It gave me incredebile sound the entire time I had it. I sold it to a friend this past February when I moved. Well, I purchase a new receiver and knew I had to have basickly the same system. I welcomed my new Bose Acoustic 5 system two months ago.

The first time I listend to my Bose am5 I almost began to cry because of the really lousy quality... I was used to the warm sound of Bose 501's. But after reading the manual for a few times and moving the sub arround alot I really found a good sound.

He did set the system up in our living room so we were able to hear the sound. Very quick set-up. Outstanding sound quality. He will be using this in his rental home on campus. He was very pleased with the system and is anxious to make it part of his home.

Im a Big Bose Fan I've owned 7 Bose products including this one my car as well is Bose. The one thing I would say is Bass could be better for my taste I will be adding a set of 301's to this system in my bedroom. I would recommend if u want to feel Bass go with 301's over these.

I use my AM5's for music and for home theater as fronts in conjunction with Klipch rears and centre.I love these speakers for music but must agree the bass module cannot be compared to a designated sub .

These speakers are what I was looking for. Low profile, great sound and easy to configure. Bass is a little lacking but is a minor issue based on my prospective usage.
