Question: Can you build on the system?I'd like a full system in the end - can i start with this and add cubes later on for center / rear?
Document: But without a quality system to run them, I would pass personallyAs an FYI I got the bose center channel speaker and rear surround sounds to compliment these speakers. Like I said, in this application they are as good as I've heard with the system I have. I will also say that as far as music listening goes, it will depend on the style of music you listen to. If you like classical style music for example they couldn't be better as they deliver instrument separation very well.
My current receiver is a Yamaha RX-V 2500. This is not top of the line gear but it's not low-end either. It's important to understand that the AM-5 system was developed as a two channel music system and not a HT system, but it could be with the addition of a center-channel speaker and some surrounds.
Small speakers hide great but this does not function well with larger systems it is meant as a stand alone. You need to wire the small speakers through the base speaker. It is not easy to balance the sound with a center channel and rear speakers . Kicks out decent sound for how small they are. If I had to do it over again I would buy a piece by piece system
The cubes are perfect up on the new entertainment center, and the bass module fits perfectly under a side table in the corner of the room.As for sound quality, I have been buying quality audio equipment for forty years, and have had great systems throughout the years. The Acoustimass system stands up very well to any speaker system I have owned.
My daughter who had just bought a house(Hurray!) wanted a surround sound for her finished basement. I gave her my old Bose 5 acoustimass speaker system along with 2 bose rear and 1 bose center speakers with a very nice Yamaha amp. She was a very happy little girl to receive them. I then bought some B&W speakers. After a short amount of time I missed my old Bose speakers, so I went out a bought another Bose acoustimass 5 speaker system.
It certainly widened the front speaker environment and was worth upgrading based on the desire to keep my Acoustimass as the main home theater system.I move a LOT... Over ten years I've had to set up and break down these speakers at least 15 times. I used the four original small speakers for rear surround and made a 7.1 setup. It sounded good, and always has. I threw away the center speaker a long time ago, and just last month one of the four original speakers blew.
Not! He put on some organ music and I seriously thought the building was going to come down on us. He laughed like a mad scientist. My $1.200.00 Bose system sounds like a toy compared to this. Tinny, no midrange, deep bass or high trebles. I'm either taking it back or selling it on eBay. Carl says he will build me a decent system in his cabinet shop. Sometimes one needs a good short, sharp shock.
As for Bose using paper cones, so what! Most of the older and higher end speaker companies have used and continued to use paper cones. My NHTs use paper cones and are highly sought after speakers due to their sound quality and size. I also own Advent 3 speakers, which have paper cones and are considered by many experts to be among the best small bookshelf speakers ever produced ( now these have some very good mid-range and bass for their size but are enormous compared to the Bose cubes ).
I am sorry to see the negative reviews on this board. I have had Bose speakers for more than thirty years. My first set, a pair of 601's is still functioning in a friends house. My 901 series VI blow away any home theater systems I've heard. With the direct reflecting sound, there is no need for center channel, rear channel. You just get realism in the listening experience that is unmatched. I have two sets of Acoustimas AM-5's and I am totally satisfied.
I currently own 2 Accoustimass 5s and 1 accoustimass 3 with the bose center speaker and a Yamaha YST-FSW150BL Advanced Downfiring subwoofer. I would highly recomend this product as a space saver. My room looks better with the cubes than a bootleg set up with bulky bookshelf speakers. The apearance and sound is what im all about, with the right equivlants this can definitly be the right choice for you .
