But they are designed like old school bookshelf speakers. They need some form of amplification and your home theater receiver would work perfect. You could also use them with a bookshelf stereo receiver and whatever you drive them with, they are very flexible. They include buttons for the bottom or sides to place them on a shelf. The nicest thing about these is using the wall mount. Lots of adjustment when mounted vertically or horizontally and even include screws for the most common mounting substrates. I bought the white ones since my walls are white. Right now, I'm using on my computer that is being used as a home theater. Originally I was using a set of speakers that sounded just fine but wanted a different mounting configuration. They replaced a set of speakers that were desertcart Choice ones and a bit less expensive but when I hooked up the Bose 161's there was a real sound difference. The first difference was that voices were "muddy" on my old speakers in comparison to the Bose. So much so, that I found that I did not need the volume turned up as much on a typical movie or TV show. I know that some of the Bose TV sound systems/sound bars promote that as a feature. Even with these budget speakers, it's evident that it's part of the Bose sound and one I do like. Second of all, my older speakers had fine separation from right to left. Same a pretty much every bookshelf speaker out there. The Bose 161's seemed to give the same separation but sounds were more localised. Kind of hard to describe, but had a more 3D where you could point at the sound and my ears and eyes can follow the motion in an action movie. And even the depth to a show that I had never found with my old speakers or any other ones I have. It was a surprise which makes every show just a bit more enjoyable. Now, I know everybody wants a speaker with a lot of low end bass. And if that's what you want, you should have the equalization knobs on your receiver for that or in your device manager on your computer to get the sound you need. Out of the box, these Bose speakers are going to give you a natural sound. You can adjust frequencies as you need with the option of adding a subwoofer to your system. But on their own, they are not going to shake your room or get you tossed from your apartment. But I don't think they were ever designed to be a 901 or 602 replacement. Those are definite lease busters and need an amp to back them up. These are a quality speaker system for home and home theater use. Priced right with the flexibility to position them where you want. Also no need for speaker stands and mounting is included. All you need to buy is speaker wire. Most likely since Bose didn't know the length or color you need. I hope you get a chance to listen to these Bose speakers and add them to you home theater. I've been using them for about a month and a half and pleased with them. The only downside is that the other speakers I have are going to need to be replaced. Since I have 3 subwoofers kick'n around here, this could get pricey. Review: HT setup... bose 201's front, VCS-10 cenre channel and bose 161's for rears. Polk Audio PSW505 sub... tied up by Onkyo Tx-SR608 - I just did my HT setup... Man i cant sing enough praises for all the components... I don't get the muted sounds on Bose claim.. i can hear everything loud n clear... each dialogue is as clear as it gets... don't have to strain to hear em anymore... The tonality of the mid range... to the sharpness of the highs... its just beautiful. 201's are a bit bigger than i thought they would be... but look amazing once set up... and sound real good too... They dont have enough base you say... n i'd raise my sub to you (albeit briefly... it's heavy you know ;) ) but what clarity of sound.... it really makes the sound pop... All the Bose's put together make a real good sound stage. Now on to the non bose components... Kudos to Polk audio for the woofer... it's a bit too loud for my taste... so its turned down to about 1/3'rd of its max o/p...but amazing difference the 12" sub makes. Setting up was a real breeze... plugged in the lfe n adjusted the volume to my taste... The Onkyo receiver is a real amazing piece o tech for its price... Audessy 2EQ (the auto sound setup) is really easy to do... sets up the speakers just right... i tried tweaking my setup... but outside the sub (set to put out a wee bit too much) it had everything nailed... Just an FYI... my living room is 15" x 15" ## Features - Versatile speakers for music and movies - Use in bookshelf or wall-mount applications - Articulated Array speaker design ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00006I53B | | Additional Features | Built In Microphone | | Antenna Location | Music,Home Theater,Movies | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo , Surround | | Best Sellers Rank | #116,981 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #12 in Satellite Speakers | | Brand | Bose | | Built-In Media | custom brackets | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Personal computer, TV, Tablet, Smartphone, Laptop | | Connectivity Protocol | Aux | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | Application | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,188 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00017817283007 | | Impedance | 8 ohm | | Is Waterproof | FALSE | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 10.51"D x 10.51"W x 14.25"H | | Item Weight | 8.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | BOSE | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | 27027 | | Model Number | 27028 | | Mounting Type | Shelf Mount | | Number Of Circuits | 2 | | Number of Audio Channels | 2 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Series Number | 27028 | | Speaker Maximum Output Power | 100 watts | | Speaker Size | 6.5 inches | | Speaker Type | Bookshelf | | Specific Uses For Product | Music, Home Theater, Movies | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Subwoofer Diameter | 2.5 inches | | Tweeter Diameter | 28.58 millimeters | | UPC | 017817283007 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth | | Woofer Diameter | 2.5 inches | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo, Surround - **Brand:** Bose - **Connectivity Technology:** Auxiliary - **Mounting Type:** Shelf Mount - **Speaker Maximum Output Power:** 100 watts ## Images ![Bose 161 Speaker System (White) - Ideal for Stereo or Home Theater use - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PEW2x6NCL.jpg) ![Bose 161 Speaker System (White) - Ideal for Stereo or Home Theater use - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/312s53h21PL.jpg) ![Bose 161 Speaker System (White) - Ideal for Stereo or Home Theater use - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31sh60xc-5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can these speakers be used with an older sound system of cassette player, cd player, receiver, turntable? The sound system is about 30 years old.** A: I have mine connected to my turntable, tape deck, CD player and receiver, all of which are minimum of 20 years old or older and I have no problem. I take into consideration that these speakers are not top of the line Bose, but they do pretty well. I'm happy with them. **Q: If I use four speakers, two in front and two in rear, will that give better perfomance in big room?** A: I have two in the front and two in the back and the sound is just great I can hear so clearly **Q: can I hook them up sidewards on the corner walls?** A: I don't now if the original question is the same as mine but I'll throw in my question...have a couple old rectangle shaped Infinity speakers that are mounted up in the corners near the ceiling. They're on mounts that have a 4 way pivot so I can point them right into the middle of the room where the listener will be most of the time. The Bose 161 has a 2 way pivot mount so I can either do up and down or side to side depending on which direction I mount it. What's the best way to mount this speaker for the best sound in the middle of the room? **Q: Will this speaker work with an old realistic sta-78 stereo receiver?** A: Yes, these use standard speaker wires and would work well with any receiver.

I'm not a Bose fan. I'm not a sound professional but I like music and I listen to all kinds of music. If I buy something to plug in my old Pioneer receiver to enjoy music, I would never buy this pair. Let me tell you my journey to the purchase of these speakers. On a nice sunny day, I came to Goodwill store on Berry Road and saw Bose sub from the Bose Acoustimass 5 (just the sub). I bought it for $4 (four dollars) and was pretty sure that it would not work. Surprisingly, the sub still works pretty well with my receiver. Then I looked for its satellite speakers on Ebay, and surprisingly (again), the used old tiny satellites never cost under $100! Why should I pay for those used things more than many new speakers? Then another day, I found this pair, which is new, and price is not so different from the used satellites. I was delivered to my home with another big surprise: Vanns packed it in a 10 times larger box with a lot of foam inside. I plugged them in the sub and they sound great, crisp and clear I guess. As my experience with Bose products, it will last for years.
