Editorial Review:
From a rumbling tidal wave to a shimmering violin, the Acoustimass 15 Series II speaker system was designed to bring the full emotional import of music and film to your living room with depth and clarity. Innovative Bose technology and design let you enjoy Bose's best-performing 5.1-channel speaker system with your other surround-sound components--without the bulk of traditional speakers. The Acoustimass 15 speaker system is also upgradeable for 6.1-channel receivers.
The foundation of this system is Bose's powered Acoustimass module, which features three down-firing drivers and proprietary technology to deliver the highest-impact performance of any Bose home-entertainment speakers. Hear the clarity and proper balance of the lowest audible notes and effects from all channels for both music and movies. You can place the hideaway bass module, or subwoofer, just about anywhere--even behind furniture--and all the sound appears to come from the tiny cube speakers.
As films unfold on your screen, you'll hear the swell of an orchestra and the energy of a busy city street. Five Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays--each only 6 inches tall--produce these 5.1-channel surround sound effects with vivid character that belies their small size. The speaker arrays are optimized to render high and midrange frequencies for natural music presentations and clear dialogue.
The Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays blend direct with reflected sound to re-create a natural spaciousness--much like the sense of "air" and "room" you'd hear at a live concert. The arrays are engineered to let you experience rich sound almost anywhere in the room, not just in a single small "sweet spot."
The elements of this speaker system are engineered for space efficiency, so they don't intrude on your decor. The largest part of the system--the Acoustimass bass module--tucks neatly behind a couch or a curtain. You can mount the small cube speaker arrays tastefully on your walls or display them attractively on optional speaker stands (the UFS-20 universal floor stands).
The Acoustimass 15 speaker system is also designed to increase its capabilities as you upgrade your equipment. The Acoustimass 15 Series II 6.1 upgrade speaker kit lets you enjoy 6.1-channel surround sound (front left/center/right, rear left/center/right, and a .1 subwoofer channel) with a compatible audio/video receiver. Automatic protection circuitry prevents the system's drivers from being overdriven and provides increased reliability without interfering with your listening.
What's in the Box
Five cube speakers, one Acoustimass module, two 50-foot (15.2 m) rear speaker cables, a 20-foot (6.1 m) system input cable, three 20-foot (6.1 m) front speaker cables, rubber feet for the front center cube speaker array, a power cord, and a user's manual.
To some, music and movies are a nice diversion. To others, they represent a passion. If you fall into the latter category, the Acoustimass 15 speaker system is made to order. Bose's best Virtually Invisible 5.1-channel home entertainment speaker system delivers the full impact and effects of today's digital audio and video formats. Your ears won't believe your eyes as music, movies, TV programs and sporting events come alive in your room. Engineered for the latest in digital video and audio, the Acoustimass 15 system can also be easily upgraded to a 6.1-channel solution. Wouldn't it be nice to own a system that can grow with you when you're ready? You want edge-of-your-seat excitement, and the technology built into this system enables a 5.1-channel performance that can leave you breathless. Bose's redesigned powered Acoustimass module features proprietary technologies to faithfully reproduce the lowest audible notes across all channels. The module includes three downward-firing drivers that allow you to hear - and feel - the most exhilarating special low-frequency effects common in DVDs. Hide the module out of sight, and all the sound seems to come from the tiny cube speaker arrays. Brace yourself as thunderous waves crash against a storm-tossed ship, or revel in the lilting sound of a single flute. The Acoustimass 15 system gives you cinema-like experiences and music that sounds full and natural at any volume.Many would think these effects require large component speakers. But Bose's Direct/Reflecting speaker technology helps deliver big sound from speakers you can practically fit in the palm of your hand. The Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays produce a lifelike, spacious soundstage while blending elegantly with your decor. The Acoustimass 15 speaker system works with most 5.1 surround sound receivers. If you're planning to own a 6.1 surround sound receiver, you'll appreciate this system's adaptability with a Bose 6.1 upgrade speaker kit.

Rating:  - not up to par
After purchasing a HDTV and a DVD player the next step was to get a speaker system and receiver. I had some limitations on the size of the speakers I could use, so naturally I thought of Bose. After using these speakers for about 20 days I had returned these speakers because of the lack of sound, what I mean by lack of sound is that I could hear humps from the speakers to the base module and distortion it got very annoying. One thing a person will notice very quickly about Bose is that there speakers ... Read More
Rating: - Buy anything but Bose
Bose is a testament to the power of advertising over product. In many ways it is a fascinating company whose products are based on late 1960's theories of audio using tweeters and woofers that Radio Shack parts outperform. This has been known for years in audio circles where Bose products are held in very low esteem. Check any issue of Stereophile, Absolute Sound, What HIFI or do a google search for Audioreview and epinions- you won't find Bose products held in any high regard. Yet uninformed consumers buy ...

Rating:  - A great speaker system
This system is an unbeliveable upgrade to your crappy home theatre system. Each of those little speakers can go up to 100 watts of power handling. Although small, they are probably louder than your bookshelf speaker, although these would not be nearly anything without the sub. The sub can handle very very high amounts of bass, this is the best sub you will see. This is the best speaker system of all time, this is half off right now, the price is normally double, don't miss your chance, I know I didn't.
