Digital camera reviews of Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System - Graphite/Silver
Digital camera Review: A Rare Truth in Advertizing -- Big Audio, Small Footprint
Summary: 5 Stars
I've needed a PC speaker upgrade for years and recently purchased the Bose Companion 5 speaker system at the Bose Outlet store in Palm Springs. It was a factory refurb at $320 versus the typical $400 price.
Strengths:
* Sound quality -- terrific! Additional details below
* Control 'pod' -- elegant and efficient -- a pleasure to use!
* Volume control ring (on control pod) -- silent and silky smooth
* Appearance -- elegant desktop speakers (small footprint too)
Challenges:
* Price -- $400 ($320 refub) is serious scratch for PC speakers
* Control 'pod': I echo another reviewer -- loose the wire, Bose!
* Volume control -- w/b great to have an on-screen volume indicator
* Woofer -- surprisingly big cabinet (but easily set out of your way)
In my opinion for most folks no show-stoppers here except possibly price.
Sound quality: Chrystal clear, great range and consistently good quality even at impressive volumes. Canveat: While I stand by my position on sound quality I defer to more authoritive positions for details.
Although I can crank it up and my wife in the next room easily hears and enjoys the sound quality of this system don't expect any desk-top system to replace something designed for a full room. No matter how clever you get via the electonics in the end ANY small speakers have limitations.
Factory Refurb: By all indicators (performance, cleanliness, et al) my system was in perfect condition. There was no indication -- including all the myiad packaging for all components in the box -- that this was anything other than a brand-new, Bose factory-direct product.
Bottom Line: I'm simply thrilled with this speaker system!
