Product Description

Product Description
To some, music and movies are a nice diversion. To others, they represent a passion. If you fall into the latter category, the Acoustimass 15 speaker system is made to order. Bose's best Virtually Invisible 5.1-channel home entertainment speaker system delivers the full impact and effects of today's digital audio and video formats. Your ears won't believe your eyes as music, movies, TV programs and sporting events come alive in your room. Engineered for the latest in digital video and audio, the Acoustimass 15 system can also be easily upgraded to a 6.1-channel solution. Wouldn't it be nice to own a system that can grow with you when you're ready? You want edge-of-your-seat excitement, and the technology built into this system enables a 5.1-channel performance that can leave you breathless. Bose's redesigned powered Acoustimass module features proprietary technologies to faithfully reproduce the lowest audible notes across all channels. The module includes three downward-firing drivers that allow you to hear - and feel - the most exhilarating special low-frequency effects common in DVDs. Hide the module out of sight, and all the sound seems to come from the tiny cube speaker arrays. Brace yourself as thunderous waves crash against a storm-tossed ship, or revel in the lilting sound of a single flute. The Acoustimass 15 system gives you cinema-like experiences and music that sounds full and natural at any volume.Many would think these effects require large component speakers. But Bose's Direct/Reflecting speaker technology helps deliver big sound from speakers you can practically fit in the palm of your hand. The Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays produce a lifelike, spacious soundstage while blending elegantly with your decor. The Acoustimass 15 speaker system works with most 5.1 surround sound receivers. If you're planning to own a 6.1 surround sound receiver, you'll appreciate this system's adaptability with a Bose 6.1 upgrade speaker kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars i love it, but know why people bash bose., March 16, 2006

By	jason "usmcmoviebuff" (phx, az) - See all my reviews

i bought this the other week because i wanted a system that not only sounded great but gave depth and a better experience when watching movies or sporting events. bose definatly delivers. UFC 58 was intense! the living room in my place is about 20 feet by 15 feet so these 5 speakers jammed into that area makes everything sound awesome. i ended up finding out why a lot of people dont like it though. one, because of the price and two, because of the space they put the system into. my friend purchased the same system after i told him to. hes a rich dude so he has a huge living room(about 30 by 25) the system didnt sound as good (obviously) due to how much space is in his living room. so i told him to pack it up, take it back, and get a custom system.
you really have to put into account the size of the room that you are going to be putting your surround system into. they ARE small speakers(which is a great feature for most) but they wont deliver the way you might want if you have a huge living room. purchase them, if you dont like it....take it back, amazing concept, i know. but most shouldnt be disappointed though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great speakers, price could be better, May 22, 2006

By	Vanessa (NY USA) - See all my reviews

Lets face it, you want to spend your hard earned money on something that will sound great and last for a long time. I agree with most reviewer that the price is too high, but I think the quality is great. I actually have a 6.1 receiver that hooks these speakers up and the additional Bose center speaker. I've had these for 3 years and they worked great, even after 3 different moves across the country. I have almost everything hooked up by fiber optics to my receiver for the best possible quality. Trust me their is a difference between, optical and analog quality and it obvious whenever I listen or play something on TV. Even still to this day when I watch a movie or play a video game I swear I'm hearing something outside or in the house, but its just the sound from the speakers.
Also if you know someone in the military, they sell Bose at the PX/BX(Post/Base Exchange). I got mine there and it was cheaper and tax free.

5.0 out of 5 stars music to ears, September 13, 2006

By	A. Dalvi "Eagle_Fan" (Philly, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like what the other guy said if your room is around 20x15 and you want to keep speakers 'virtually invisible' this is for you. You buy it, try it if don't like it return it.I have been trying it and so far it's delivered upto my high expectations.Not only does it sound sweet and I feel like sitting in a live concert, or movie theater it cost me less than here also;) In B Js the package (AM15 series 1 silver+samsung HT DS610B receiver+5cd/dvd changer) for 950.I earlier thought samsung receiver/dvd player must be trashy but it's working okay and I could wait till HDMI-adaptive Onkyo (TX SR604 in particular) comes down to 200s (its right now 400).In one word I'd describe my HT as incredible.bose delivers! (for what it is known)
