## Surround sound speaker packages

The **Bose Acoustimass Home Entertainment Systems** are Bose's line of surround sound speakers. The original Acoustimass speaker set was introduced in 1989, as the Bose Acoustimass 5 Series I. This was a stereo speaker system. It had two direct-reflecting speakers that connected to a passive bass then to the receiver.

In 1995 Bose released a surround sound version called the Acoustimass 6 & 10. It wasn't until 2001 that a powered bass module was introduced allowing for true 5.1. The speakers are connected directly to the bass module, which is connected directly to the receiver.
