I wanted a bigger sound for my TV. I use a Bose system on my iMac so I decided to try the 301's for the TV. Great choice!! They deliver the deep, rich (loud) sound I've been looking for!!! Problem solved!!

I am a fan of Bose stuff. I think these speakers represent a great value. I am using them currently mounted on the wall in the garage, but they have also been used as rear surround speakers in my living room. I think Bose is smart and eq's out the range their speakers do not play well, which is what makes them sound so good, as you never hear anything that sounds bad. These are not world ending speakers, but a great sound quality for the money.

I have been an audio do-be since 33 1/3 /rpm's with over 300 vinals and 300 CD's. I have a serious sound set-up with home theater and the whole bit. My Acoustic Research Speakers gave out and I now have a Cambridge Sound Works configuration that I am very happy with, In my other casual reading room, my AR speakers sort of just got tiered and I had to replace them Over 20 years isn't bad. I have always been a BOSE Snob feeling that BOSE are over priced and purchased by people who wouldn't know a good speaker if they met one. After looking around at price points and vast aray of selections I decided to get the BOSE 301's. I figured it was just for easy listening so I won't be too fussy. The price point was right and it is a reputable firm. The next challenge was to find a stand to put them on. Well I found the SAMUS foundation stand.
The configuration works perfectly and the sound id wonderful from my 1950's Dixieland to Godspell, To Joan Baez on into my Irish music collection and the 1812 Overture. The stand and 301's look like a single unit and the height is perfect, And the sound is perfect to my ear.
If you are looking to fill a room with your music and unless you are ready to take your music with you when you go shopping for a book shelf size set of speakers I would strongly recommend the BOSE 301's. With the SANUS stand you don't need to put them on a book shelf or table. You can place them anywhere in the room for best performance and room layout.
I have met the BOSE 301's and we get along just Great !! :)
We ENJOY our music.

Although Bose is not considered a audiophile quality speaker, this little speaker rocks if you enjoy loud music. For the price I would by several vs. buying a single quality tower speaker; however you need to consider placement as they are bookshelf type. They make hangers but I think the rear facing tweeter would be somewhat negated. I expect this speaker to last for years before having to recone.

I have waited 38 long years for my Bose speakers. Listened to some 901's long ago, but could never really find the room for them. Well a long awaited birthday gift to myself. My 301's look perfect with my hardwood furniture and were by far the best bookshelf size speakers that myself and wife compared to all available. Dont put it off like i did, your ears deserve the best reproduction of your music collection.

Great speakers, mid bass is cool too... Bought stands for them also, don't want $300 plus sitting on the floor... You'll hear vocals clearly, music sounds nice... But I wish they upped the ante on the low bass, come on for 3 bills, gimme more punch for the money... Buy a subwoofer... Anyways, I've seen reviews on these speakers, I'm most impressed by how long they actually last. Some folks have had them for over 10 years, that's a major plus...

Sampled the various speakers at the local Best Buy and for the money the 301's sounded better than any of the others. I purchased a Yamaha powered subwoofer to use with these and the balance and power of the combination are outstanding. Put on "Sorrow" from Pink Floyd and the bass was deep and clean with the midrange and highs provided by the 301's was clear and not shrill. Loving the setup now!
