RE: bose speakers
Hi Mary, I'd be interested in hearing a little more about those speakers you mentioned. Cost is a little bit of a consideration, but I'm more interested in quality and size. I'm moving into a very small place compared with where I am now and can't take my big speakers. I didn't intend to start a big discussion here of Bose. Actually I had mentioned I was looking for speakers and so many people are answering me about Bose radios and sound systems. I'll look forward to any info you have on those speakers you mentioned. Thanks. BudAt 03:43 PM 1/18/2015, you wrote: If you have the money, they're not the cheapest, it is hard to go wrong with Bowers and Wilkins speakers. Mary Bud Schwab W 6 Z Y P Malibu, California
smaller speakers, was RE: bose speakers
Hi Bud, I put a new subject line reflecting your original interest. The Bowers and Wilkins speakers I had in mind are the 685 s2. I do not personally own these. I have had larger floor standing BWs in the pastg as well as in wall bWs in a home we lived in a few years ago, and they were all wonderful. Presently, I have the mm1 computer speakers, which are awesome for their size. Here is a link to a cnet review of the 685 speakers. The only knock on them, as you would expect, given their size, is that they don't go way deep in the bass. BW does make some small subs that would do the job for that if you had the space. Cost of these is $650 which ain't cheap for a pair of bookshelf speakers. http://www.cnet.com/products/b-w-600-series-685-speaker-wired-series/
speakers for small homes, was:RE: bose speakers
If size is a concern you may want to try the Klipsch G28. They are very slim and not very deep but still sound reasonably well. Cost is moderate. http://www.klipsch.com/gallery-g-28-flat-panel-speaker Frank -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Bud Schwab Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2015 8:54 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: RE: bose speakers Hi Mary, I'd be interested in hearing a little more about those speakers you mentioned.

Re: smaller speakers, was RE: bose speakers
Hi Mary, Thanks for the info. I looked at the 685LS and it sounds real good. As far as a woofer, their frequency range sounds very adequate. I believe they go down to 40 hz. At 92 I don't need that real low, boomy bass that the teen's like. BudAt 06:36 PM 1/18/2015, you wrote: Hi Bud, I put a new subject line reflecting your original interest.

RE: BOSE radios

RE: bose speakers
Hi. Sounds like to me you are after a hometheater system from Bose right? They are epic sounding, how ever the speakers are small, and you do hear a squashed effect when something is icelated to 1 speaker. I've even seen this with my Companion 5 vurtual surround sound system. Theresn't bass out of the satalites,you need the sub. The highs are very good, but the what I seem to remember being JBL speakers in my Samsung PC moniter TV combo are better at it. A real high pitch sound I love testing the highs with is Zilla 98's roar. She wistles along with it, and if you have a good high frequency response, trust me you'll hear it. Especially in the seen in chapter 6 where she roars right in Nick's face. Man you hear that awesome wistle to it. Super epic! Oh yeah, the cheapest surroundsystem from Bose is $1700. They also lack a lot of cool things like 7.1, 4K, not sure if they'll upgrade to HDMI 2, and fore those that might care, DLNA. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Bud Schwab Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2015 10:49 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: bose speakers Hi Gang, I'm going to have to move soon too a much smaller place than I now have and will have to give up my current large speakers and woofer.

RE: bose speakers
Actually I already have the tuner and amp and was just looking for some good quality small speakers and thought that Bose made something like that. They wouldn't even have to be powered speakers although powered speakers would be fine. Thanks for all the responses. I do have a Bose radio and it has a great tone for it's size although is a little short on the high frequencies. At 06:30 AM 1/18/2015, you wrote: Hi.

I hadn't heard that one before; the chief complaint I have heard about the older Bose systems is that there was no way to adjust the tone! So you got what you got...and there was no way to change it!
