Very disappointed.......2007-04-26
I'm no Audiophile as it were but I know quality when I hear it. I purchased the Acoustimass 6 (gen IV) on my belief and word on the street that Bose is the best. I'm sad to say don't believe the hype. They are good but not $899 good. The Bass is lame and the treble on the center channel drowns out the rest of the action if anyone is talking in the foreground. I'm running a Pioneer vsx2016 which is an awesome product. Anyway I plan to stay within this price range but take my business elsewhere, any suggestions? They are going to go back next week.
I'm soooo glad I unloaded these on someone else.......2006-06-02
I ditched my AM6 speakers through eBay and bought some good speakers instead. Anyone who likes Bose must only have their clock radio as a point of reference. I was able to sucker some chump into paying $400 for my Bose AM6 speakers, which I turned around into a set of Athena .5 speakers and a 10" Velodyne sub. All running from the same Pioneer VSX-D711 AV receiver as the Bose. My new speakers set me back about $350, leaving money left over for speaker wire and stands.
So, why am I so harsh on the Bose AM6 speakers? Well, they do look nice, but... they use proprietary speaker wires with speacial plugs. So, you have to use their wiring which really reduces the options for running wiring for the back surrounds. The small size is nice, but having speaker wire hanging out in plain site pretty much sucks.
Speaking of sucking, let's adress the major shortcoming of almost ALL Bose products, they just don't sound good. My budget Athena .5 speakers have a 1" tweeter and a 4" driver. This combo does a pretty good job of covering down to around 80Hz where the sub fills in. Not completely flat, but really nice for the price and signficantly better than what the Bose AM6 can do with its single 2.5" driver per speaker. The Velodyne sub can hit 30Hz and really fill in the low end, while the bass module (I refuse to call that Bose thingy a sub) doesn't get any where near that. And, since all 5 speakers are cabled through the bass module, you're really stuck finding a good place to hide it in your room.
So, what does all this mean? When watching a Dolby Digital or DTS movie, I can now actually notice the low frequency effects, and even feel them. with the Bose, you get muddled farting from the bass module (and, I suspect the cross over on the bass module is set pretty high in an attempt to compensate for the Bose Cubes' misserable low to mid range response, so you know where the sound is coming from, sort of distracting).
The overall sound stage is now much better with the new speakers, too. The Bose cubes were too easily localized, and didn't fill in the room very well. But... most important: when watching a movie, we can now actually hear the dialog! With the Bose AM6, it seemed like the music sound track and other ambiant sounds were constantly overwhelming the dialog. Turns out, this was due to the fact that crappy little cube speakers aren't able to effectively produce sound in that low to mid frequency range, where most dialog lives. Take a look at all the traditional center channel speakers everyone else sells, they usually feature a single tweeter and two or more mid-range drivers of decent size (4" to 6" depending on cost). Now, compare that to the single 2.5" driver found in the Bose cube "center channel". Which one do you think will do a better job of reproducing the full frequency of sound needed to enjoy a movie?
Sorry to ramble a bit, but I was a chump when I fell for the Bose marketing hype/BS. Now that I've learned that I can get significantly better sound for 1/2 the cost (and I'm sure there are scores of other options), I'd hate to see someone else get suckered in by the hype. So, go back to Amazon's speaker section and try something else; Athena is a great brand;) and I'm sure there are lots of other choices...
sounds like a theatre.......2006-02-03
thanx for a great system...my living room now sounds like a full theatre...it's hard to believe so much sound comes out of speakers so small I got a great b-day present..thanx
Not worth the money or hype!.......2005-10-31
I heard this set at my Grandfather's friend's house. I think the fella spent like $750.00 on it from a local outlet mall. What a waste of well earned retirement money! He had a higher end Marantz receiver firing these puppies, and let me tell you the receiver was being shamefully wasted on these speakers. The lower end frequencies were o.k. and the highs were sufficient. What I felt was missing was the solid mids and voice presence. Don't get me wrong, music sounded good. But, trying to watch a movie was like riding in a car with huge subs and tweeters in the front door pillars. The lack of mid-bass was a huge downfall with these speakers.
I spent $200.00 less on a set of Dahlquist 5.1A and feel like they sound like $1000.00 speakers. They have an even frequency response all the way across. In my opinion they look a whole lot better mounted too. I'm running them with a Marantz SR6200 DTS receiver and they perform flawlessly. I would totally recommend anyone that's considering a BOOOSE system to reconsider and shop around. GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH, DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
The best entry level home theater system........2005-10-27
Use this system with a minimum of a 80 watt Onkyo receiver and digital output enabled DVD player (Sony is good enough). Be sure to use Monster cables or GE for interconnect. Cables do matter. Buy the speaker stands for the small speakers because it is very convinient. Sound is awesome and astounding. Drums sound like drums and some effects are really like a real theater sound.
If you have a lousy receiver or DVD player, do not blame Bose for the sound. Also, you need to have a nice large hall to keep this.
IF YOU DO NOT USE DIGITAL OUTPUT OF DVD PLAYER, IT WILL BE LOUSY.
I now feel, I should have brought the lifestyle system along with this system BECAUSE, when you buy all the necessary things for the home theater, if it is good, the price will be appox that of the lifestyle system of Bose.
And because lifestyle is from Bose itself, sound will be optimal. So, think how much it is going to cost together if you are going to buy everything together. Then make the decision.
Really, the receiver and DVD players separately are much heavier and bulkier than lifestyle.

Customer Reviews:
Mac OSX Users Beware.......2005-10-06
The Lightscribe function on this drive doesn't work properly with OSX, even if you download the software and firmware updates. Labels are hazy and very faint. There is a 1.02 update for the LaCie Lightscribe Label software that is supposed to fix this function but, oddly, it doesn't do anything, which is why you can now only download it from other websites (LaCie took the update down from their own site). LaCie is working on a firmware update for this drive, but as of 10/05/05 customer support said the update was still in beta. The Lightscribe company itself has issued an update, but only for Windows PCs.
On the plus side, it looks real pretty and burns audio CDs really fast. But then again, you aren't considering this drive just for the normal burn functions, are you?

TV / AM / FM / Stereo / Weather shirt-pocket radio Built-in digital clock with alarm function Up to 180 minute on/off timer Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included)
Amazon.com Review
Don't let the diminutive size of Sangean's wonderful DT-300-WV fool you--it performs better than many large radios we've tested and comes with enough features to keep anyone happy. In addition to an excellent AM/FM digital receiver, you can use the device to pull in weather band frequencies and local TV stations that broadcast on VHF channels 2-13. A digital LCD displays the frequency or station you're tuned to and also serves as a clock.
The DT-300-VW's ability to pull in signals simply awed us. We used the device for weeks in a basement office that's notorious for bad radio reception, and the small radio was locking onto stations that no other device we've tested could even detect. A handy auto-scan feature makes it easy to find stations, and you can establish up to nine presets on each band the radio can access. A button on the front let us switch to mono mode to reduced static from weak FM signals, and a switch on the top can lock the unit so that inadvertent button presses don't change the station or turn the radio off.
The sound quality from the built-in speaker is merely decent, and the included earbud headphones offer a similarly tinny level of performance. We plugged a beefier set of headphones into the DT-300-VW and were stunned with the difference it made. The little radio was pumping out a rich, clean signal that made listening to stereo FM music a joy. The radio also is capable of extreme volume that overpowered our headphones at high levels.
For the money, portable radios don't get much closer to perfection, but we did find a few slight drawbacks. The biggest is that reception falls off dramatically when headphones are not plugged in. Headphones augment the built-in antenna, and without them we had a tough time picking up any stations in our basement office, making the integrated speaker more useless than it could be. We also lost all our presets and had to reset the clock each time we swapped batteries. If you want to listen to FM radio without headphones we recommend staying away from this product, but if you plan to leave the headphones plugged in all the time, the DT-300-VW is a steal. --T. Byrl Baker
Pros:
- Incredible reception
- Clear, rich, and full audio is possible with the right set of headphones
- The ability to receive weather and VHF TV bands is a nice bonus
Cons:
- Included headphones are weak performers
- Settings are lost when batteries are changed

Customer Reviews:
Great Radio---terrible on/off switch.......2007-08-01
I use portable radios for backpacking. On the really good side, this radio gets reception better than any other I have owned or tried.
BIG negative? The on/off switch. If you breathe on it, it activates the radio. What were they thinking? A portable radio that will turn on with the least movement. Why couldn't they have done it right with a conventional on/off switch? I hate this button, it sometimes renders it useless to use when the radio is in transit, as it will turn on (or off) with the least urging. argh!
Why no direct push button tuning capability.......2007-07-20
Why does all these great reviews miss the key key feature that is missing---Direct Push Button Tuning. This should be radio design 101.
A thousand versions of MP3 and Ipod type players. Numerous small radios that you must listen thru earpieces and not thru speakers. Why is it that not a single manufacturer can build a small pocket radio that has a digital tuner and direct tuning push button presets as in your automobile. Radio Shack built a couple of version some 5 to 10 years ago and they were excellent. I have had 3 or 4 of them but all have now broken and RS no longer offers(they do offer a rather miserable version that has presets but you must scan thru all presets to get to the station you wish). Could you imagine doing that on your television set with some 2 hundred channels? This seems such an obvious product instead of the 1001st version of another MP3 player. There are those who carry a radio in their pockets when walking(think postmen), going to the beach, working, hiking, camping etc. This is a natural and yet no one builds such a unit that I can find. Again Radio Shack had such a unit some years ago(a couple of models--I would suggest a couple of ergonomic improvements but on the whole they were excellent and some bean counter at RS decided to no longer offer them). Sony has such a unit, but you can only listen via an earphone(not thru a speaker). Someone once told me that the key to business success was always to know what the chikens are eating.
Best pocket radio ever!.......2007-07-16
This is the best pocket radio I have ever owned, and I have had quite a few. Great sound quality and not only does it tune into the 13 major TV channels, along with AM and FM, but it has a very useful lock button that prevents accidental station changing while allowing the volume to be changed. This is a feature that let's you use the radio while exercising without concern about losing your station. Another feature missing on most other pocket radios is the automatic 90 minute time off, which if you use the radio in bed, significantly saves battery life. It also let's you select stations you can pre-set, by pressing a select button or can scan stations. These are features you will find generally only on table top radios, except for the lock button, which is the first I've seen on any radio.
No more NPR fade.......2007-07-11
I got this for my husband to replace his 2 Sony armband Walkman radios....neither of which could pull in a strong signal from our local NPR station while he was walking. The reception of this FM station on the Sangean is great!.
The small Wonder.......2007-05-09
The best thing about this radio is its size! It fits in my top pocket in my teeshirt. playing the radio with the headset is great although I wish the external speaker was louder. It serves me great for which I purchased it for.
