Bose 161

$160.00 Released January, 2003

The Pros:Sound has good reach, fills a space effectively. Combines minimalist design with smooth arches for sleek look. Compact build has a small footprint, can fit them into smaller spaces.

The Cons:Spring cable clips look cheap, would ideally use pillar connections. Wall mounting is tricky, brackets are awkward to attach to the speaker.

The Bose 161 speakers are bookshelf design speakers at the low end of the Direct/Reflecting series. They are small bookshelf stereo speakers with a streamlined design that works with both stereo and home theater components.

Bose 161 Speaker System by PriceGrabber.com

Reviewers praise the versatility of these little ones, able to function in a home theater system or as stereo speakers. Featuring Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance produces balanced stereo sound over a wide area and with Twiddler® drivers making it possible to enjoy rich low-frequency sound from smaller speakers.

Features

Articulated Array® speaker design with precisely positioned drivers provides a large, consistent sound field.
Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance produces balanced stereo sound over a wide area. The result of proprietary Bose technologies, these stereo speakers let you enjoy balanced sound throughout the listening area, unlike conventional home audio speakers that radiate sound mostly in a single direction.
Twiddler® drivers use proprietary technology to generate more air movement from a small enclosure. They deliver the kind of performance you'd expect from much larger speakers, making it possible to enjoy rich low-frequency sound from smaller speakers.
Home theater expansion capable for cinema-like sound—and a seamless home theater design—when you combine this product with the Bose® VCS-10® center channel speaker and any Direct/Reflecting® speaker system.
Magnetically shielded speakers allow for speaker placement in close proximity to your TV without interfering with the picture quality.
Syncom® computer tested to ensure one of the highest levels of quality and reliability in the audio industry.
