Amazon.com Product Description
A versatile choice for both listening to music and appreciating the sonic splendor of big-budget blockbusters, the Bose 161 multipurpose speaker system offers topnotch sound in an elegant package. Unlike conventional speakers, which radiate sound in a single direction, these speakers use Bose's Articulated Array and Stereo Everywhere technologies to project sound throughout the entire room, so listeners in the corner can appreciate the same subtleties as those in the middle. In addition, the proprietary Twiddler drivers (two 2.5-inch drivers in each enclosure) make the speakers sound much larger than they actually are. The end result is a consistently impressive sound field that simulates the cinema experience. Meanwhile, the speakers' actual size--they measure 11 inches wide by 4.12 inches tall--belies their big sound, so you can store them easily in compact locations, such as small dorm rooms or crowded offices. They even come with mounting brackets for installing on a wall or ceiling. The speakers' sleek black housing also blends into practically any décor.
Additional features include magnetic shielding, which protects your TV from video interference, and automatic overdrive protection. The speakers are computer tested for quality and reliability and carry a five-year warranty from Bose.

Perfect for home theater!.......2007-09-08
If you have plenty of bass these speakers will work on either the front or rear channels. I have them on both the front and rear channels and have a 10" JBL powered sub and a Klipsch center channel and I am very happy listening to music or watching a movie or t.v. My room has a tile floor and is 17ft.X20ft. and the receiver is the 5.1 channel Yamaha HTR-5440 with only 65W RMS and there is plenty of volume (I only turn it up 1/4 of the way) and bass (sub volume is 3/4 of the way up).
Great surround speakers.......2007-07-02
I think it IS amusing to read the previous reviews. Of course you need a sub with these speakers. Bose states that these are for back and surround systems. I can agree with one bad review, the Bose center channel is not a very good speaker. That is why I have different speakers, Polk sub, JBL center, Acoustimass 5 as my front and the 161's as my back surround. The 161's are clear and crisp and great for movies and music. Play some George Benson and hear the "pluck" of his strings on these 161's !!!
Great for what they are.......2007-02-27
I think these are great speakers considering their size and they are a very good value for the price. I've been putting together a fairly complex sound system in a large house and used the 161's for a tight enclosure space that yet had to work in a much larger room than they were ever intended for. The result was that I've gotten a second pair. I wasn't expecting much in the way of low end performance yet these are decent and the rest of the range is impressive. My only issue is the mounting system is chintzy, and I found the speakers slipping down from their own weight. A trip to the hardware store was required which is no huge deal but then again, come on Bose, you cheaped out on the mounts. Just IMO for what it's worth.
Good For Center Channel as well!.......2007-01-27
My New Samsung DVD 5.1 system has TWO output wires for Center Channel...I just had to upgrade the Center Speaker because we couldnt hear the voices over my quality speakers...(Cerwin Vega/Bose and Yamaha)...I was having a hard time figuring out how to upgrade the Center channel since most of the Center speakers only have One Input...I started looking at high quality bookshelf/rear channel speakers...found these...listened to them at best buy and circuit city...and got them...laying them down on my TV stand where the Center goes they are thin enough to not impair TV viewing....Hooked them up and maxed out the center signal.....WOW!....So much better than the little speaker that came with my Samsung...TWO separate channels for Center pumping through these sounds great!...I can recommend them as very good for the Money...I feel Center channel speaker pricing is not realistic...from $50-$1500 dollars for one speaker?...that is insane............these are a great value and Upgrade.....I hope this helps
Excellent for Surround channel.......2006-07-20
These speakers are really intended for use as surround speakers. I recently upgraded my 5.1 receiver to an Onkyo 7.1 with 100 watts per channel. I've been using Klipsch speakers L/R and Center and Boston for the side surround in my existing set-up. My home theater room is not large, about 13 by 20. I thought it would be nice to add the two rear speakers to my existing surround set-up. I am a professional musician and a movie buff. Quality as well as versatility are both critical for my listening. My son (also a musician) already uses Bose 161s for his surround set-up and recommended them. I have not been disappointed. I tested them with some of my THX encoded DVDs and as rear channel speakers they fit in seamlessly.
I can't testify to the performance of these speakers as primary speakers. Some people have used them this way with apparent success, but Bose really did intend these as surround speakers and for those on a budget or dealing with limited space they are ideal for the intended purpose. As surround speakers I rate them 5 stars.

Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy rich, full sound from music or movies with this compact pair of sleek Bose speakers. Whether placed on a desk or bookshelf or mounted on a wall for use as surround speakers, these speakers are designed to deliver balanced, spacious sound with minimal or moderate amplifier power (10 to 100 watts per channel). Automatic protection circuitry keeps the speaker drivers from being overdriven, heightening the speakers' reliability without interfering with your listening.
If you'll be using them in a home-theater capacity, keep in mind that they're designed to blend seamlessly with the Bose VCS-10 center-channel speaker and any Direct/Reflecting Bose speaker system.
Unlike conventional speakers, which radiate sound in a single direction, these speakers use Articulated Array driver positioning and Stereo Everywhere technology to deliver balanced sound throughout your listening area. Further, Bose's two 2.5-inch proprietary Twiddler drivers per speaker move more air from their small enclosures than similarly sized conventional drivers, creating a sound you'd expect from much larger speakers.
Be sure to use the proper gauge (or thickness) of wire or speaker cable for the length required to run the distance between your amplifier and your speakers. If the length is 30 feet, use a minimum of 18 gauge (.75 mm); use 16 gauge (1.5 mm) for 45 feet or 14 gauge (2 mm) for 70 feet. Supplied custom mounting brackets offer a range of placement options.
What's in the Box
Two speakers, self-adhesive rubber feet (three per speaker) for shelf positioning, wall-mounting brackets, and owner's manual.

Bose- Poor products driven by advertising hype.......2004-02-04
Bose is a fascinating case study of what the power of advertising can do for products that are acknowledged within the audio industry as being cheaply made and technically outperformed by all of its competiters. Based on audio theories from the 1960's and parts of lower quality than what can be bought at Radio Shack, Bose has built an incredible empire out of poorly designed products driven by a huge advertising budget creating an aura of "Bose".
Consumers should do their research before shelling out money for Bose speakers. A google search will bring you to epinions or audioreview websites where you can find review after review, mostly negative, from buyers of Bose products.
The commonly accepted wisdom in the audio industry is that Bose makes low audio quality products and sells them at very high prices. In other words those Polk, JBL, Wharfedale or Infinity mid-fi products you can find at Amazon are usually higher quality at much better price points.
Compare the sound if you ever get a chance. Make sure you DO NOT depend on volume, in other words volume is a bad indicater of quality. Listen for the high and low notes and to the clarity of the music. Tough to do in a showroom at Circuit City or Best Buy, but even there the differences will show up. Bose attempts to prevent consumers from doing this by segregating their products away from the competition.
After this you might look at online audio magazines (do a google search), Audioreview (one word) and Audiogon. You'll find whole NEW world of audio products such as PSB, Paradigm, Vandersteen, Quad, Sonus Faber, ACI and many more who's products will put you on a much higher level of audio than you'd ever imagine. Usually these speakers are SEVERAL times more electronically sophisticated than Bose at the same price! What you won't find in these websites of magazines are Bose articles. Bose just isn't taken seriously by the industry.
Good luck and happy hunting!
Wonderfully transparent sound, reasonable price.......2003-05-29
We bought several pairs of these 161 speakers when they were first introduced a little over a year ago. We use one pair for the surround speakers in our theater system, and a pair in each of the other rooms of our home.
Although we are longtime Bose fans, we decided to audition these in an audio store as we had been disappointed in a Bose center channel speaker we had purchased previously, (based on reputation, we didn't listen first!). We were favorbly impressed in the store and have been very pleased with them in our home. Regardless of room decor, the speakers produce clean, stereo sound. (Its possible to identify orchestral instruments and their location!)
These speakers are very linear above 80-90Hz, to the audible limits. They drop off rapidly below about 80Hz. Bass frequencies are adequately reproduced for orchestral music but will need to be augmented for heavy bass or special cinematic effects. (sub-woofer)
These speakers are intended to be wall mounted and are easily installed with the included brackets. They do not sit well on a shelf!

Product Description
The LEICA R9 has been designed in such a way that it makes good sense for a photographer: it is not overloaded with technical features but carries everything which a photographer needs to control his/ her results. The basis philosophy is typical for Leica: you can operate the camera instinctively without moving your eyes from the viewfinder, where you have all important information permanently at sight.Thanks to its R bayonet, the LEICA R9 is compatible with virtually all R lenses made since 1965. Nearly all current Leica R lenses are equipped with ROM contacts, which establish specific communication between camera and lens, leading to perfect exposures.The illuminated display on the back cover, in addition to the viewfinder, is an information center on the LEICA R9. You then have a clear overview of all the current settings. It shows the number of exposed pictures, film speed, exposure correction settings and battery condition. You can also correct the exposure in the multi-pattern metering mode. An LCD exposure counter on the top of the camera is permanently visible as long as the camera is switched on.Accurate exposure metering and control are prerequisites for successful photographs. The LEICA R9 features selective, integrall and sophisticated multi-pattern exposure metering whose level can be changed by tenths of a step. The result is optimal harmonization with the various types of films. Metered value storage can be used with selective- and integ

Product Description
Features targeted for the Home Theater buff is what this 27'' Real Flat Stereo TV is all about. 16:9 Anamorphic DVD Mode, TheaterPro 6500K Color Temperature, INVAR Shadow Mask, 3-Line Digital Comb Filter, Dynamic Focus, Real Color and Real Detail Creation, Velocity Scan Modulation with ON/OFF, Component Video Input, BBE High Definition Sound, and S-Video Input deliver a picture more vibrant, and sound more natural than any other standard definition TV.
Amazon.com Product Description
JVC's 27-inch AV-27F704 stereo TV offers a sizeable screen and the quality and features to match it--all for a remarkably low price. Black-level expansion and a Real Flat CRT with an Invar shadow mask render detailed, high-contrast images free from geometric distortion, and the set's stereo speakers are powered by a generous five watts each.
The AV-27F704's three-line digital comb filter enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped t-shirt). A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow, each hole in the sheet corresponding to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing in a brighter, clearer picture. An apacon circuit further enhances low-level details for greater picture sharpness.
The AV-27F704 receives not only stereo broadcasts, but Second Audio Programming (or SAP), too, and you always have Hyper Surround to simulate surround sound from any two speakers. BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.
Top-of-the-line component-video inputs accept video from compatible DVD players and satellite systems, while S-video and standard RCA composite-video inputs accommodate most other video sources. The set offers a total of three audio/video inputs, one of which is built into the front panel so you can hook up a VCR, camcorder, or gaming console. A rear-panel RF input accommodates older VCRs, cable boxes, and antennas. Want to listen through a stereo? Use the set's stereo, fixed-level analog-audio outputs.
A multifunction timer turns the TV on and off when you're not home or works as an alarm clock or program reminder; a sleep timer saves energy by turning off the set after you've nodded off. Other features include an interactive plug-in menu, half-tone onscreen display, channel guard and V-Chip parental controls, closed captioning with text display, XDS (Extended Data Service) auto clock set with ID display, and an illuminated Super Command universal remote with DVD, TV, and VCR control ability.
