although I did not purchase these from amazon.these are by far the best sounding book shelve speakers I have ever bought.hence the name Bose.
Make sure you get them up off he floor, though. They are still very good speakers, though, and the instruments are all clearly and individually defined. On the floor the sound is muddy. These speakers don't seem to have quite the space in the sound my old 301s had, but they still provide a very realistic sound. They seem to be a little heavy on the bass response for me, I would like a little more emphasis on the treble as I listen to classical music.
I believe you'll decide on BOSE also. Finally, getting a bit too old to play DJ any longer, I sold the Pioneers & bought another pair of Bose 301's for that "surround sound" effect. Compare these to other bookshelf speakers in the same price range. Mine are not the Bose 301-V's pictured here. To say my Bose 301's have stood the test of time would be a gross understatement. I bought one pair at first to back up a pair of larger Pioneer speakers when pushing a large hall on a DJ gig. Mine are the original Bose 301's bought roughly 26 years ago & still kickin'. I would stretch out wires long enough to reach the back of the hall.
I have hooked them to an onkyo receiver as the front channel speakers. They are much better than Bose 201 so worth spending extra bucks. I also tried Bose center channel VCS10 but it's crappy. These are the best speakers I have ever heard and I have tried a lot. You will be blown away.
With these speakers I couldn't tell the difference. They give the music depth and realism. I am enjoying my stereo more so than ever. Sound comes from all around your room.
I never thought I would own a pair of Bose speakers because they were too expensive but these were the perfect price. I highly recommend these speakers for people who take their music seriously. Being a sound engineer I know the difference between studio sound and live music. It's a whole new experience in sound.
I have a 5.1 surround system and this adds quality and professionalism to any system. If you have alot of money, try the 901's and let me know what you think. They don't sound like conventional speakers do. Live concerts are like being there, in the first row.
