Bose 201


$239.00 Released January, 2006

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Bass range plays true to the sounds that were recorded, instruments and voices come through well without "booming". Perfect for small to medium spaces, fill them with sound without effort. All audio plays without distortion, even at higher volumes.

The Cons:Can't create loud, chest-shaking bass. Not quite enough power for larger spaces. Speakers sit horizontally, taking up more room than other speakers.

The Bose 201 speakers are Direct/Reflecting desktop speakers. The design is trim with the 201 being the smallest in the series. Yet they manage to deliver 120 watts per channel. As part of a surround sound system, Bose intended the 201's to serve as background speakers in a home theater system or as stand alone home stero speakers.
