Fantastic speaker system when looks count and you want great sound, but not sore eyes. I’ve had an Acoustimass 5 Series III system since 2005 and recently added this Series V to a second room in my home. I can’t get enough of the Acoustimass speaker systems - they look fantastic and sound so good for any size, but its even more impressive Bose packages it into such a small system.
The base response is fantastic - especially if you get the Acoustimass bass module near a corner - it really gets deep. The cubes sound fantastic and present room-filling sound. I paired with the WB-50 brackets to flush-mount the speakers to the wall and it looks just amazing. I can’t recommend this system enough - heck it even includes the speaker wire you need. I just ordered another set from Best Buy since it appears Bose has discontinued the product and I don’t want to not have a set available when I need or want it!
Get it before its gone! Message to Bose: Please keep these in the product lineup. There is nothing out there that compares to the sound quality in this size package or this good looking.

Nice looking Bose system. Really like the cube speaker great sound quality! But the Bose subwoofer unit didn’t like much, don’t have much power and boom as I expected! It would even better if the unit comes with the bass knob volume adjustment so you can adjust the bass which it did not come with it. Oh well, I kept it anyway!

Oh boy these speakers work PERFECT, just keep in mind you will need an RECEIVER to plug these speakers into. They are not Bluetooth on their own! Other than that they kick butt and shake the house

Good sounding but has Acoustimass Module internal vibrations with different songs... Very disappointed. None of my other Acoustimass modules I’ve owned had done it.

This Bose 5-series speaker system replaces my previous 3-series system that was lost during a cross country move from Hawaii to the mainland. I really liked the previous system and I am even more impressed with this 5-series speaker system based upon quality of the sound delivered from my old Kenwood Tuner. The price point was also a great deal in my opinion.

Crisp, clean quality sound from this little system. Amazing sound from book shelf size speakers and a sub woofer. Connected these speakers to a Yamaha R-S202 receiver that has blue tooth capabilities and couldn't be happier.

Bose is absolutely the best brand of speakers on the market for the Price. Super happy with the Bose AM 5 Series V just superb sound, excellence on every level. The store in Santa Clarita CA was amazing the Manager from the Audio Dept. who helped me provided excellent customer service. That's why I shop BB always.
Thank you J.R.

DO NOT BUY THIS SPEAKER. I can't believe how bad the bass sounds for a system over $400. I've been using the Bose Companion 3 and THAT sounds 100x better than this garbage. Just wasted so much time and money just to be insanely disappointed. I wish there were more accurate reviews online.

Hi, thanks for purchasing our Acoustimass 5 speaker system.
We're sorry you're not enjoying the bass quality. The bass response of the system depends on the amplifier/receiver it's plugged into. You can try adjusting the bass level on the connected audio system. Here are some other suggestions for making sure you get great bass https://bit.ly/31rojAQ/ -Nic Bose Customer Support
