Bose Direct/Reflecting® Speaker System
201 V Cherry (Black/Cherry Wood)

All-Around Performance

Suitable for living rooms, dorm rooms or most anywhere you'd like to enjoy music and movies, these speakers take up a minimal amount of space and blend nicely with your decor. They also deliver great sound. From the deep, rhythmic beat of a helicopter cutting across the sky to the uplifting songs of birds at dawn, these speakers present a compelling audio experience. They also integrate seamlessly with the VCS-10 center channel speaker speaker and with the Bose 301® and other Direct/Reflecting® speakers for a five-speaker home theater experience.

Direct/Reflecting® Speaker Technology

At a live performance, much of the sound you hear is reflected off the walls, ceiling and floor. Only a small percentage (about 11 percent) reaches you directly. It's this combination of reflected and direct sound that makes live music sound live. With conventional speakers, virtually all of the sound is radiated directly into the room. Much of the spaciousness of the live performance is lost. Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology can recreate the ratio of reflected and direct sound similar to what you hear at a live concert. As a result, you experience the power, impact and emotion of a live performance in your home.

Stereo Targeting Tweeters

These proprietary drivers are engineered to direct mid to high frequencies to a wide, stable area between the speakers. Used in these Direct/Reflecting® speakers, they help create a sense of lifelike spaciousness and let you hear full stereo throughout the listening area.

Nicely balanced stereo performance. On jazz, most classic rock, spanish guitar, instrumental music and other soft music. -Lacks low-end bass, but does not distort at peak volume. -Over sized midtweeter twiddler, opens up smoothly takes on human vocals, string and wind instruments with much detail and clarity.

Bose 201 Series V speaker (July 02, 2004)

Reviewed By: Karl H. - Richmond, Indiana

Anyone that owns a Bose product, knows of the quality, sound, and enjoyment that the product brings. I moved from a small apartment to a house and wanted to upgade to larger speakers for my home theater system due to the increase in room size. The 201 series V, more than met my expectations!

I previously used one of the Bose double cubed systems that more than adequately did the job, but these speakers took my system to a new level! The full sound of the direct reflecting Bose speakers filled the room with a richness that makes my friends envious. The 201 size is not intrusive or obstructive they fit nicely on a shelf, on a stand, or even on the floor behind or under furniture.

There are cheaper brands of speakers but, for the price, size, and enormous sound that the 201's possess it is heads above the rest.

I have a set of 301's in my Living Room for the enjoyment of stereo listening. With the surround sound and everything else in life it is nice to sit back and listen to a nice clear sound in sterro. The Bose 301's deliver a crips clean stereo sound that many have gotten away from. I have tried several differant speakers in this room for this purpose and Bose delivers. No TV, no surround sound in my living room, just stereo music. I recommend them when you have a large enogh space to enjoy them. By the way I do have Bose Acoustimas for my surround sound system in my media room. Bose works great in the there also. In addition my Benz also has 10 speaker Bose system in it. You could say I like Bose.

Killer Bose speakers (March 08, 2004)

Reviewed By: Keith K. - Albany, OR

Many of my friends had recommended these speakers. The sound is amazing! I wanted high quality speakers for listening to music, so I had no need for surround sound speakers. With these two speakers, connected in with my Sony receiver, the sound is crystal clear. There is no distortion, even at max volume, which of course I had to test. - They don't take up much room, look nice, and sound awesome.

I purchased my set of 301's for my front speakers on my home theater system. I basically knew what I was purchasing . . . because my dad has a set of 301's for over 25 years now and they still sound great. These speakers are tops in my book.
