Worth the $799 we paid at their outlet store!

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 1999
Review: We've had our Bose Acoustic Wave since March 1999 and have it hooked up to our television set. The sound quality is much better through the bose. Our living room is 700 square feet, so sound often is distorted with other systems. Not with our Bose...

Bose Acoustic Wave Music System - for Jazz and R&B fans only

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: Too little performance for too much money. For that price you can buy a REALLY GOOD surround sound system.
Review: I bought the Bose Acoustic Wave Music System after watching the TV infomercial. I was a bit disappointed. The system performs really well. It is just like they say : no-nonsense system, without any hassle of wiring, connecting or some rocket-science...

Bose - The Godiva of Music

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is simply the best compact music solution on the market today.
Review: Up until three weeks ago, I was the proud owner of a carefully pieced together component stereo system which cost me more than $3,000 in 1993. Nakamichi tape deck, Bose 901 speakers, the works. It was a beauty and it took up an entire stereo...

Honest Opinion non-biased

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: The best advice I can give is, Buy the System and if you don't like it, take it back.
Review: First of all I never considered buying a Bose product due to the cost untill my wife bought me the system for Christmas. I didn't know what to think at first but since there was a 30 Day return policy I thought what the heck lets give it a try.

The little sound system that did (for $1,000)

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you have $1,000 to shell out on a quality compact system, get this. However, if you have lots of space or want high-quality sound, get a 5-speaker system instead.
Review: Having used the Bose Acoustic Wave System for almost 3 years now, I can honestly say that it is the best one-piece system that I have ever listened to. At a price of around $1,000 though, it is a considerable amount to pay for any system, and it is...

Does not even merit a 1 star rating!

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Avoid this overpriced hype and trust your own ears, not the advertisements.
Review: I have to start by saying that I was completely open minded about this product, if not leaning toward the positive before purchasing because BOSE Stereo speakers actually sound very good.
I can say without reservation that I was shocked by the...

Why?

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: It is an overpriced, under-powered, bulky piece of crap.
Review: I can't explain people's obsession over this thing. It has 2" midrange drivers that are supposed to handle subs, lows, mids, and highs? I dont think so!

First off, this acoustic mass bull-s is a bunch of crap. It's vented speaker system,...

Nothing compares

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: This ugly duckling offers beautiful sound. If you want tremendous quality, here it is.
Review: The Bose Acoustic Wave System is a complete and compelling stereo unit that delivers sound quality that rivals almost any non-professional system on the market. It's design is simple and almost perfect. No need to play with an equalizer to get the...

A Fool and his money are soon parted

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: "If it sounds too good to be it probably is."
Review: I purchased a Bose Acoustic Wave 5 disk CD system in October of 2003. I was replacing a much older bookshelf stereo and wanted high-end sound that could be connected to my television. I ordered the system from an advertisement seen in Country Living...

People buy this?

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: 'Friends don't let friends buy Bose'
Review: So the other day I am talking with my uncle, and he tells me he bought this new fantastic stereo. Naturally intrigued I asked what it was, and when he said Bose I was curious. So I went over his house to have a listen, from seeing so many...
