although I did not purchase these from amazon.these are by far the best sounding book shelve speakers I have ever bought.hence the name Bose.
On the floor the sound is muddy. They are still very good speakers, though, and the instruments are all clearly and individually defined. These speakers don't seem to have quite the space in the sound my old 301s had, but they still provide a very realistic sound. They seem to be a little heavy on the bass response for me, I would like a little more emphasis on the treble as I listen to classical music. Make sure you get them up off he floor, though.
I believe you'll decide on BOSE also. To say my Bose 301's have stood the test of time would be a gross understatement. Finally, getting a bit too old to play DJ any longer, I sold the Pioneers & bought another pair of Bose 301's for that "surround sound" effect. I would stretch out wires long enough to reach the back of the hall. Mine are the original Bose 301's bought roughly 26 years ago & still kickin'. Mine are not the Bose 301-V's pictured here. I bought one pair at first to back up a pair of larger Pioneer speakers when pushing a large hall on a DJ gig. Compare these to other bookshelf speakers in the same price range.
I also tried Bose center channel VCS10 but it's crappy. They are much better than Bose 201 so worth spending extra bucks. These are the best speakers I have ever heard and I have tried a lot. You will be blown away. I have hooked them to an onkyo receiver as the front channel speakers.
Sound comes from all around your room. If you have alot of money, try the 901's and let me know what you think. I am enjoying my stereo more so than ever. They don't sound like conventional speakers do. With these speakers I couldn't tell the difference.
It's a whole new experience in sound. Live concerts are like being there, in the first row. I have a 5.1 surround system and this adds quality and professionalism to any system. I highly recommend these speakers for people who take their music seriously. I never thought I would own a pair of Bose speakers because they were too expensive but these were the perfect price.
They give the music depth and realism. Being a sound engineer I know the difference between studio sound and live music.
