Bose 151: compact speaker, big sound!
Bose 151: Compact speaker, Big sound! I already own the bose 201 bookshelf speakers and a bose center. As part of setting up a home theater setup in a spare room of our house, I chose these bose 151 speakers for the surround channel. I am running them with a yamaha rx-v567 7.1 receiver in 5.1 mode, an oppo dvd player and a polk audio subwoofer. The room itself is not very large so i did not want to spend too much for the surround channel. The Bose 151s are really small for the sound they put out. They are light and hence can be mounted directly even on your drywall or ceiling. Alongwith the rest of my bose speakers they give good surround effect reproduction. I listen to a lot of live music dvds on this system and I have set it to 5 channel stereo mode frequently. In this mode a good amount of mid bass is sent to these speakers and I am happy to report, these little speakers can actually reproduce decent mid bass. I leave the rest of the low end to my subwoofer. In all, they put up a really big soundstage for their size. I am going to buy another set to put out on my back porch too!
