Okay firstly, I know the system you're talking about, its not too bad but again
its not an audio phile or High Fidility speaker system.
The Bose system being discussed is different again, its not a 2.1 channel
system, its just 2 computer speakers.
There are arguments for and against which are better - 2.1 or or 2 channel
systems - my view is that - unless you're gaming - then a good 2 channel system
should do a very good job for music and the like, with music not much goes down
to the depths that require the extra reenforcement of bass that a sub-woofer
delivers.
Then again a lot of those 2.1 channel systems rely on the sub-woofer, that is to say if
you turned the sub-woofer off then you'd hear no bass at all so given all that - and
given the size of the Bose Companion speakers - its amazing that they deliver the bass
they do, I've just listened to a recording of these things, to me they sound a little
"Boxy" and again I sort of understand what a list member referred to when he
talked about them sounding like a Boombox but - having said that - I've certainly heard a
lot worse.
I'm still looking forward to my Bowers & Wilkins MM1 Hi-Fi Computer Speaker
System in September, if all goes according to planned I should have it here, on my
desk in the Den in front of me - where I'm writing from now - in the first week of
that month.

I bought a set of klipsch speakers for $149 U.S. It's a 2.1 system and, for
the price, the range is great. I have, however, found out since I've
switched computers that you need a good sound card to drive them.
Just my two cents worth.

I'm a little confused here. Are you saying there are full-range speakers of
the same size and price? How does one define full-range? In my experience,
it is very rare that one can simply choose between full-range and boombox
sound with size and price remaining constant. I have not heard the Bose
Companion series so I don't know if I would like them or not, but there are
times when I have found a good boombox sound to be acceptable when the
speakers fit into a tight space or when they were being used by people who
might not be careful with them. I also still use a set of thirty-year-old
Freid floor standing speakers which were considered full range and enjoy
them as well.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

I'm not at all surprised if what you said also applied to these
speakers to be honest, let's put it this way,
there are some people who have gorwn up with a "Boombox" sound, and they
know nothing better, that's their thing of course, so long as they're happy
then that's what matters but there's far better audio quality out there than
"Boombox" audio.

I have to say I hope they're better than the companion 2. I had a
pair of those and got rid of them asap. It was like listening to a
boom box instead of something with full range.

That sounds just about right. I don't know if that price was exact
It's not too far from what I recall US ppricing to be. I've heard
them and they are good. I just preferred the Companion 5 multimedia
speakers.

Hi!
This eMail is forwarded from another list I'm on, this list is an
Australian eMail list so I don't know about pricing for these Bose
speakers in the U.S.
so people may wish to check.
If you're looking for a set of computer speakers at a good value for
money price then the set described here may be well worth the look
given the price they're being sold for right now.

Hi all.
Just wanted to let folks know about these awesome bose companion 2
series
iii speakers i've just bought.
There 149 dollars at the bose store or the apple store or any other
good
re-tailer.
Basically these are computer desktop speakers consisting of 2 small
desktop speakers no sub and very easy to connect up.
There are only 4 cables and a single dial on the front for turning
the
speakers on and for volume.
There is also a 3.5 mm headphone jack just below the on off volume
control and on the back you have inputs for the left speaker, a c
power, the input for connecting a 3.5 mm cable then the other end of
that cable connects to a pc mac iphone whatever you wish to power.
The final input is an aux input for connecting to another device.
Keep in mind these are not hi-fi speakers but if your looking for
something just for a pc or mac or a laptop, you can't go past the
bose companion 2 series 3 speakres.
These are the newest desktop speakers in the Bose lineup.
Grab a pair today and enjoy crisp clear sound never heard from a
pair of
speakers this small.
