Bose - 301 V Review

OK...so mine aren't the exact ones pictured.  Mine are the original Bose 301's made back in the early '80's.  That's right.  My Bose 301's are at least 25 years old & still kickin'!

With the small "bookshelf" size, they fit almost anywhere and project sound EVERYWHERE.  With my stereo system, I can use a floor bass, a center speaker and 4 surround sound speakers.  I don't have that much room.  I use 4 Bose 301's for that surround sound effect.

Years ago, I used 2 Bose 301's to back a pair of large Pioneer speakers doing portable DJ jobs.  If it was a large hall, I used the 2 large Pioneer speakers up front and then stretched wires out for the 2 Bose 301's in the back of the hall.  I once did a portable DJ gig at a high school gym pushing a mere 50 watts per channel!  Granted, I used a graphic equalizer, but still...only 50 watts per channel. 

You don't need a "Super System" to turn them on either.  Anything starting at 10 watts all the way up to 150 watts will work.  To say these speakers have stood the test of time would be a gross understatement.  A rare 5 star rating from me.
