Product Description
The Acoustimass 3 speaker system delivers the ear-pleasing low tones of a bassoonor the deep, dramatic effects of movies. The Acoustimass module produces these notes without audible distortion and can be hidden behind furniture. Rich, full music and movie sound appear to come from the small cube speakers, rather than from the module, hidden out of view. Remarkable richness and clarity emanate from the two Virtually Invisible cube speakers. Music from your existing stereo equipment sounds natural and true. These diminutive speakers can be wall mounted or displayed on speaker stands with our line of accessory mounting options. And the Acoustimass 3 speaker system easily handles more than music. Connect this speaker system to the rear channel outputs of your home theater equipment, and enjoy the same superb sound quality from your movies as you do your music.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Acoustimass 3 speaker system from Bose delivers surprisingly rich performance while practically disappearing into your decor. The system, the company's smallest and most affordable to date, produces lifelike sound from your stereo components (DVD player, CD player, VCR, DVR, MP3 player, etc.) and, when connected to your surround sound receiver, it's also an appropriate choice for use as a left/right rear-channel home theater array. The speakers' compact size makes them a great choice for smaller rooms. Two single-cube speakers standing just 3 inches high are elegantly designed to blend with virtually any furnishings. Patented Acoustimass speaker technology delivers the ear-pleasing low tones of a bassoon or the deep, dramatic effects of movies. Best of all, you can easily stash the Acoustimass module behind furniture or in a corner, and the system's lifelike sound will appear to flow from the tiny cubes. Hookup couldn't be simpler: route left/right speaker wires (supplied) from your integrated amplifier or surround receiver to the back of the Acoustimass module (essentially a passive subwoofer), then run two more lengths between the Acoustimass module's left/right speaker outputs to the 2 cube speakers. All three units use convenient clip-type speaker terminals. When you hear the Acoustimass 3 Series IV system, you'll be surprised that such a huge sound can come from such small speakers. These Virtually Invisible speakers are the definitive answer to the question of how to combine spacious sound with space-saving design. It's all the result of Bose's years of intense research and testing. The tiny cube speakers can be wall-mounted or displayed on speaker stands using the optional Bose UFS-20 universal floor stands, UTS-20 universal table stand, or UB-20 wall/ceiling bracket. Now or in the future, you can turn your Acoustimass stereo speakers into a home theater set by simply adding the compatible Bose VCS-10 center-channel speaker. For full 5-speaker surround sound, add the VCS-30 center/surround speaker package. The system's four 20-foot lengths of speaker wire should accommodate most living rooms. For longer cable runs, however, Bose recommends using 2-conductor, 18-gauge wire (30 feet), 16-gauge wire (45 feet), or 14-gauge wire (70 feet), for a hookup that maintains a maximum frequency-response deviation of +/- 0.5 dB. (Cable thickness increases as gauge decreases.) What's in the Box
Two cube speakers, 1 powered Acoustimass module, 4 lengths of speaker wire (20 feet each), 4 adhesive rubber feet, and a user's manual with warranty/registration information

Decent sound--bass lacking August 26, 2008
Dutchman2001 (California)
Have to agree with previous reviewers--bass is there but lacking. The separate woofer is not a subwoofer by any means. I'm using the Acoustimass 3 system as the "front speakers" in a low-budget surround sound system. Also have to agree with a previous reviewer that the individual cubes sound good. Just running the system without a center or rear channel speakers connected, "Fellowship of the Ring" sounded quite tolerable. I noticed the deficit when I cued up the first track of Pat Metheny's Letter from Home. Again, good mid and hi-range responses from the cubes, the bass, however, was just minimally there and lacked any punch whatever. I'll probably add a subwoofer and then I should have a halfway decent system.
Buy for the cubes, not for the bass November 28, 2007

I fully agree with all the reviews regarding the lack of bass response on this system. I bought it to use as rear surround speakers. I will be disconnecting the "sub" portion as there is little or no bass response from it. The cubes however, sound great and definately are what I was looking for to complete my system.

These speakers are made to replace bad TV speakers, but an amplifier is required. Wouild not recommend for the main movie watching for your home for the subwoofer is not separate from the two smaller speakers.
 Amazing sound at an oustanding value! March 29, 2007

I purchased the AM3's for my kitchen. I have the cubes hanging under my cabinets (using Vantage Point mounts) and the passive subwoofer on top of my cabinets, laying on its' side. I am using the Amphony 1520 5.8GHz digital wireless amplifier [...] since my wiring options are extremely limited.
The sound quality coming from these little miracles is nothing short of amazing. Acoustic songs sound live. It's like having a band in my kitchen at the touch of a button. The Acoustimass Module provides smooth lows to give full bodied sound. Placement of the Acoustimass Module is critical to achieve deep, low frequency results. The closer to a corner of a room you place the Module, the better bass response. Additionally, since my Module is placed on top of maple cabinets, I have it resting on a bathroom rug to absorb unwanted vibration.
I have never been disappointed by a Bose product and am a loyal customer. If you are looking to spend a couple hundred bucks on speakers, look no further. You will not find higher quality for this price.
great sound at a great price January 10, 2007

Quality product with great sound; for two little speakers. Spread out sound well in a large room. I enjoy this product so much that I bought two.
