Spending 2 Weeks With a Bose System... 

superb story telling and video creation! i like how this question arises and making of video was made and why you decided to make it!

I enjoy my Bose Acoustimass 15 series ii from time to time and for the size they aren't bad. Got it basically brand new for only 75 bucks. Whenever I'm serious about my audio I let my SVS system take over lol.

I would interested to hear your thoughts on comparison between sound on your marantz vs Bose on board DSP. I think the series is a great idea! I hope the satellite speakers don't blow when you run audessey though!

I almost shed some tears as you were disconnecting your Polks!!!!!! This experiment should be interesting!!!! Looking forward to your updates over the nest couple of weeks.

Fantastic idea KP guy, allways wanted to know how Bose performs!

I forgot to add one thing I love is the remote will reach to my neighbor's house lol. It's crazy how far it'll reach. Anyway great vid can't wait!!

great video bro keep up the great work

I don’t care about the haters I love Bose is incredible the sound that’s coming out of those little speakers

I have the newer model of those. It's old but I got it for free lol. I really like it because it was free. It does have great sound but not the best. I mean 10 times better than just a TV. It just doesn't get as loud as I like for parties and such. It's a great system but nothing like my Polk in my man cave. Can't wait to see what you think. It has exceptional sound up to mid sound volume. I can play with the equalizer to get it loud. The bass is ok but not what I like.

Which hands do you use to turn the Bass Knob? Left or right hands? For me, left hands!

Good video, I agree with your commentary of all of the wire management the Bose system seems to add. It feels like double the wiring since it all needs to go through the subwoofer and then out again the the speakers.

That’s actually my dream setup . Bose

I think I’ll hook up my Polk speakers directly to the drivers and bypass all the crossover circuitry... that should work.

I love BOSE. I sold Bose in the early 1990's and they are still my fave surround sound system. : }

I have the same speakers my dad bought them before I was born and they work excellent for the past 20 years with an external yamaha amp excellent for movies and music and conversation pretty much everything

What are the big speakers you moved in the beginning? Polkaudio LSI? Also that subwoofer is massive. Is that SVS?

This deserves way more views

I wonder what the frequency response of the whole system is and how loud you can play it without running into any compression at all.

This is going to be interesting. 😂😂👍🏻

Dope video bro

The speakers are not good it’s the Bose processing that makes the Bose name to get best sound hook the satellites to the subwoofer and let it handle processing

Im using 6 of the 161 . 2 for downfiring atmos and DTS X and 301s for left and right , polk audio center and 4 polk audio subs with a ONKYO DOLBY ATMOS AND MARANTZ PROCESSOR and people that have been in my cinema and remember i use to use towers now they said they actually hear and increase in sound quality. You should try making a video testing this set up...you will think different of Bose sound . More sound less speaker clutter.

Can't wait

I'm open minded. Looking forward to hear from you.

I m today Bay This Model Old but Gold Bose Accusticmass 15 series 1 Amazing Bass ... lovely

I have a Bose Acoustimass 10 Series V with the double cubes 5.1 and I like the sound but it has basically no bass. I want to know how I can improve the bass on the subwoofer.

question i think i might have missed it but what cable do you use for a smart tv that is only a couple years old?

Thanx Dude for this video. I was playing with my thoughts to buy used old BOSE system, after i couldnt find a descent soundbar at all. But apparently bose will be not my solution. I gues eventually i will go fo a good stereo speaker

I've owned alot of systems from Bose. The soundtouch 300 + am300, 321 gs ii, lifestyle 28iii, 535 ii, and a bunch of Bluetooth speakers and headphones. You should've gotten a lifestyle v28 III system. You can buy them extra cheap now for like 250-300 bucks. And they sale fast if you wanna get rid of it after reviewing. Reason why, is because the lifestyle does its own processing and EQ for the small satellites and bass module. Plus, The PS 28 III sounds alot better than the older acoustimass module, and hits alot lower if placed in the right location. It's not going to be any where near your chest or shaking your apartment. But it's better than the system you bought lol.

Is it not more intresting to test the system with the original Processing it was created with?

Hello, Can you please tell me how I can delete the music of Bose Lifestyle 48 (Umusik)? I had once had keyboard shortcuts on the BOSE AV48 to do this. But I forgot, maybe you know? There is also a keyboard shortcut to organize the BOSE-Umusic after songs have been deleted, you also know the combination of buttons on the BOSE AV48 Media Center Greetings and stay HEALTHY

Man those Bose speakers are dirty! I have 2 sets of AM7's that look brand new.

do you know how do i canhave a BOSE SW VERSION 03.03.04? Thanks and i wish you all the best...

You can't get the experience if you don't wire it the way they intended it. The speakers are inferior to your $10,000 system, bit with the wizardry, they can come close, which is what makes Bose interesting. At a fraction of the price you can come close. Pair that with they lifestyles systems and you get cool tech like Virtual Sound stage or phantom 500.500 audio. (Complete and continuous surround.) Bise is not really a speaker company, but more of a sound tech company. So just looking at the speakers alone won't give you the whole picture.

It’s funny I have bose 501 in my room and they have highs and heavy lows

Nice Boss volume good🎧

How did you hook it up with your Marantz

How did you bypass circuitry?

Did you like this home theater or was it bogus

Jewel speakers are smaller but more powerful and clearer sounding.

Ok its a very old system and it is not a lifestyle system with bose AvR and Adaptiq, but i know its too expensive for just a test. In my opinion only the sub and satelites sounds bad and this are not jewelcubes or even onnijewels and not a true subwoofer like the new one. Its like apple with iphone. It has lower end hardware but because of its own software and handshake its faster than other phones , but im interested in your result

How did you connect them

Firstly, MOST people don't want those huge speakers that you have in their houses. That's a fact. That's the majority of consumers, who Bose targeted with those speakers. Hobbyists like Stonehenge in their houses. That's cool. But, most people don't. Secondly, you have an old as dirt speaker system in that old AM15. And, the modules are NOT subs. Never were marketed as such. They could never get that low. And, you might be amazed to know that speakers were not "software based" until fairly recently. There was no such thing as software updates back then. Did not exist. Thirdly, an AM15 like you have is not a replacement for Stonehenge. The differences will be immediately apparent. It's like comparing a big rig to a Honda. Two different customers. Two different applications. Neither can do the job of the other. I used to have a system similar to you. A paradigm system that I eventually got tired of looking at and even more nauseated at as I realized how much money I'd wasted to watch fucking TV. It just hit me one day. What the fuck did I do? Blew all this money....to watch....movies. I chalk it up to being young and dumb. I don't know. Anyway, in the end I got rid of all of it and now have a small, simple soundbar with a subwoofer that I rarely ever turn on. And, I couldn't be happier with it. Point being, priorities change, and for most people stuff like this is not at all a priority. They just want something that sounds good enough and that they don't see. That's what Bose went after. In fact they created the whole sub/sat segment of the industry. It ain't for everybody. But, neither is Stonehenge.

Which bose is this one?

I beleave the bass module has the crossovers for the cubes you might blow the speakers hooking them to the amp

What the hell are those? Those huge speakers.. :)

"no high, no lows... Must be Bose !" 🤔 So it's "FLAT"... Funny !!! It's exactly what the "audiophiles" looks for !!! It's all audiophiles bs... In all cases it depends where you place the speakers. Every speaker has its own signature. Of course I mean a quality one. Even my SoundLink mini can "rock the walls" if I place it properly. Everyone is asking me "where's the sound coming from" when I'm at work. "No highs no lows... I love my Bose !" 👍

Which model bose is this!?

I got a accousitmass 5 serie 3 I must say it his quite low, prob till 27hz

With audio equipment, theres pretty much always a wiring mess. Definitely NOT something unique to Bose lmao.

Bose saves alot of space 🤣😎✌️

But if you really want to get bass in your speakers then you would j.g ave to test Bose larger speakers their 301 and and their amazing 161 for surrounds this babies will give you bass and amazing surround effect. Use a polk for center or their 151 as bose never made a good center speaker only sound bar

Me watching this with a Bose sound bar 😳

LIFESTYLE® V20 should have been your 1st choice - oh well...

🤷🏾‍♂️ why milk it? 1 maybe 2 part review

I like bose

Wrong system to test , not their top of the line. You should had tested the lifestyle with the jewel cube speakers with the metal grills. From the 90s now that's a whole diferent sound experience.

so you unbox and show the cables? WOW.

just bought one set for 20$ 😂

I'm not sure it's a fair test not to hook it up as bose intended and set speakers to large as that is how it's meant to be iv had bose in the past and even when I was a kid the first time I heard a lifestyle system in the 90s I couldn't believe the sound that came from those speakers obviously that was probably 30 years ago now and a lot has changed

Could have done all this in one video.

Yeah man, you gotta wire it up like Bose intended. Bose has to work it's "magic". Same reason you wouldn't run 901's without the equalizer. We all know Bose sucks, but I LOVE the factory Bose setup in my old Acura. Also, their noise cancelling headphones are pretty good.

Implying Bose has an amazing mid-range, but I think otherwise ;)

What's the point of doing this against the way that Bose would recommend? Bose didn't get famous from doing it the way you're going to do it. The sub is designed to do exactly what you assumed it would do. Sorry, but I fail to see the fairness.

No highs no lows it must be Bose

I stopped watching when he said he is connecting the satellites directly to his subwoofer.

Wow thats some big clumsy speakers u got there....

Hi you r very mush into system. I hv a request if you send me bose passive crossover network for me if you dont mind i dont have money to pay you back i m from india

Think bose is bad? Try Boss 😂

If satellites are design to be connected and run via bose cross overs ( subwoofer) why not test it that way…. You gonna test in it the way test is not recommended…

But remember its not fair to compare your large super expensive towers made for large venues using Bose lower quality system made for a very small room. To get Bose quality sound in a larger room full of highs and lows you need to get bose towers speakers made in the 80s or their bookshelve 301s that are a really loud sounding with plenty of mid bass and highs and their superb 161 with tweedler drivers for an amazing sound in a large room, and add one polk audio 12 inch sub to the mix or 4 in my case. and a atmos Dts X receiver, and Then you can give a good opinion on Bose sound. You will be blown away. But a fair close match to your towers will be their 901s. Otherwise your video has no relevance.

tells everybody what year the speakers are from (1990's) then complains about the cables! Smart one there was no blue tooth back then! Think before you roll camera !

I've never heard anyone despise Bose I do love sonos but Bose is some of the best out there it's crisp and even! Edit: I forgot to add the acoustimass series was absolutely horrible I meant now with their newer line! And there is no doubting that I mean normally in RU-vid videos you can't hear speakers for how they are at all they all sound the same, but this you could hear that it was muddy and exactly the way you described with someone talking over their mouth.

j-u-n-k

you are just posting this video to implant your trash impression about bose into us and also get views, if u feel like they are trash then try out their new systems and just dont talk trash about it. and also keep in mind that u are testing one of their beginning models

bose, overpriced "white van scam" speakers 🤣🤣🤣

Your study is already flawed because you have a used system..to fail straight out of the box makes any further study invalid.
