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