Antosha says "Let's listen to music!" about Bose - Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System

In the computer store, I had some doubt as to whether these tiny little speakers would have good sound quality. After all, they are roughly 2 inches tall x 6 inches wide (not counting the woofer), and for many years, I used Boston Acoustic stereo speakers that were roughly 2 feet tall x a foot wide. I needn't have worried. I easily hooked these speakers up to my computer and the sound system is awesome! Far better than those Boston Acoustic speakers that were state of the art in the `80s, and better than the 7 year-old Labtec speakers I've used (which are pretty good.) I can't detect any distortion in the sound, and it has a 3-D feel to it. Music sounds fabulous on it. Highly recommended.

Bose speaker system is really great...it is quite small but the sound is incredible!! You'll enjoy listening to your music in clear, solid sound...Even when you turn up the volume, the sound quality is the same...no weird, annoying noises whatsoever...It's perfect to hook up to your computer when you have a bunch of iTune songs you want to listen to a little louder..I'm glad we choose to buy this brand because it is excellent! I would recommend this to anyone planning to buy a multimedia speaker.

the best way to get great sound from my laptop, I've got it from a set of speakers/buffer. I don't need a separate stereo....

Jazbec says "Best computer sound system I've ever bought." about Bose - Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System

Priced at $400, the cost might make you wonder why Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System is so much more expensive than others in its category. Hook it up to your computer, however, and you'll see that the sound this system produces is in a class of its own.

I have been buying personal computers since 1980 -- that's before Windows was invented -- and I have bought dozens of speakers that claimed to provide a rich listening experience. None can top the Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System. It's hard to believe such full, rich sound can come from such a compact, unobtrusive system, but it does.

Along with its excellent sound, the system is elegantly beautiful in appearance as well as easy to use. I love the puck volume control. Give it one gentle tap and sound is muted, another and it comes back on, so handy when you have an interruption, like a phone call. The volume control is very sensitive and feels good to the touch.

The price might seem high, but it is more than justified...

Telpher says "Little speakers, HUGE sound" about Bose - Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System

For two years, now, my partner and I have been going into the Bose store at the local mall, and sampling the goods. They make great sound systems. We have a set of Bose bookshelf speakers, which are very nice, but it'd be nice to have a full-on sound system to go with our 40" HD tv. This week we decided to bite the bullet.

The Bose Companion 5 Multimedia System is truly remarkable. The speakers, themselves, are each about the size of Rubik's Cube...maybe a tiny bit smaller. The subwoofer is, understandably, larger - about the size of a small hard drive for a tabletop PC. The sound that comes out of this small system is really amazing. We've hooked it up to our television and, when playing a movie such as 300, it sounds every bit as big and rich as the sound system at a multiplex. What's more, this sytem is a multimedia system...which means we ca hook it up to a pc, a laptop, or even an Ipod.

Hooking it up is as easy as connecting a set of headphones to an Ipod or Walkman. I'm still amazed...
