Product Description

Product Description
With Bose surround sound, you take home entertainment to a new level. And with the next-generation Acoustimass 6 Series II home theater speaker system, you get many of the benefits of Bose high-performance speakers - at a more affordable price. Advanced Bose technology works with your surround sound receiver to bring enhanced performance to your favorite movies, music, TV programs and sporting events. You can hear a squadron of jets carry out the attack from the front of your room to the back. Or enjoy spacious, lifelike stereo music. All from Virtually Invisible speakers that are smaller than ever.The Acoustimass 6 Series II Home Theater Speaker System features many of the innovations that have made Bose the most respected name in sound - all in an affordable package that's simple to use and simple to live with. The next-generation cube speakers and hideaway Acoustimass module practically disappear into your surroundings, instead of overwhelming them. The rumble of a starship pulling into the space dock. The ferocity of nature in a storm. It's all a result of exciting, powerful bass that so many movies depend on to create special audio effects. The improved Acoustimass 6 module delivers the bass so essential to movie sound - with no audible distortion - so you can hide it virtually anywhere in a room. And Bose Adaptive Energy Summing speaker design reproduces bass for the front and surround channels from a single enclosure - thereby eliminating the need for two bass sources or bulky conventional loudspeakers. With the five smaller, next-generation cubes, you get full surround sound from acoustically matched speakers you'll barely notice. Dialogue seems to come right from the screen. Music and sound effects flow smoothly across the front of the room. Special surround effects envelop you on all sides. It's sound that fills your room - from speakers that don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome clean sound from tiny cubes, October 28, 2002

By	H. Meyer "Hank Meyer" (APO, AA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For an above average entry into Home Theater, it is hard to imagine how you could beat this system. The tiny cube speakers disappear into the listening room and one can place the Acoustimass module out of sight (but pointed correctly - more on this in a moment) then the sound comes from everywhere!
Many people chastise Bose systems claiming the bass is not "thumping" enough. But maybe they are missing the point. Bass should not be 'thumpy' but smooth, clean and absorbed by the bodies of the listeners!
The trick to getting beautiful bass from this system is to aim the opening of the bass module TOWARD a side wall, leaving about 2-3" from the wall. You can adjust the distance a bit to change the bass, but you will be pleasantly surprised.
The bass is clean, without loosening floor tiles and with reasonable care in the placement of the 5 cube speakers,well, it is hard for my friends (and myself) to believe the sound that surrrounds!
Set up is EZ, with cables already in place on the bass module; you just prepare the connection by separating the twin leads to match the placement of the cube speakers, and you're done!
Set up your AV receiver according to the EZ 2 READ chart on the enclosed instructions and you are ready to enjoy Home Theater, thanks to this incredible BOSE system.
