Customer Review: There is a richness to the movie sounds that do make it worth its weight in money
Summary: 5 Stars
hi everyone, first my setup is a panny 58inch plasma 720p...my bose acoustimass 16 series 2 is the second bose product i have owned. My first introduction to Bose products with their Lifestyle system with just 5 speakers and the Acoustimass module that had 2 woofers...i forget the Lifestyle model number...this was back in 2000. Again, this setup only had 2 woofers. The new Acoustimass module found only in their flagship speaker setup (Acoustimass 16 Series II)has a total of 3 woofers downward firing. My second foray into home theatre "excitement" was switching to the Infinity TSS750, years ago, when it first came out. Now, when comparing the two...the TSS750 did have a clear sounding treble...like when the glass shattered in the matrix movies...you could hear that "KEEEEEESSHH" sound...the emphasize being more on the "eeee" rather than the "ssshhh". The movie sounds could be described as sounding "brighter". However, the Bose had a warm, richer sound...not as "tinny" as some have described speakers to be. Look, i am just an average techno girl that loves a good hd-surround sound setup. My very first interests in Home Theatre was when DVD first came out and Dolby Prologic II was the ticket. I had the Sony "Twin Tower" speakers that had the circuitry built into the towers. This was 1996 i remember. Today, I have the Onkyo TXSR705, now paired with the Bose Acoustimass 16 series 2...it sounds TREMENDOUS...yeah it is a more powerful reciever...but also i think that extra woofer gives it a bit more OOMPH... WHEN i scurry through different reviews, i read such negative points but many are reviews off of older systems. Lets have the merits of the Acoustimass 16 Series II be the product that we critque and not lump Bose surround sound speakers. I believe that if you get the best of the bunch...meaning the 16 series 2 that have the 3 woofers in the bass module and pair it with an outstanding av reciever it will ROCK...now for me...its all about movies...not so much music...and maybe crazy audiophiles have a problem with music...its possbile...but the craze now is movies...also...its important that when you hook it up and set your speaker size preferences in the av reicever...that you set it to...LARGE SPEAKERS..THATS RIGHT LARGE SPEAKERS..ITS IN THE MANUAL...i am not some audio crazed expert but I read up on the products I do own. I have owned 4 different speakers now to know the difference but let me try to stay on point also...Consumer Reports Magazine states that...dont let marketing dictate the quality of your speakers...all the fancy metal, choromium, diaphrams or whatever your speakers are made of doesnt guarantee the audio translated out to what you hear...let your ears decide. Besides technically your ears are very unlikely to pick up all the frequency variances marketing touts. For me it boiled down to brand quality, great sleek modern looks, and a comparative review of the sound i have come to learn. Forgive my grammar as best you can and pick apart what you can from the review to benefit you. I am a real product owner and the Bose bashing i believe is not based on actual ownership of the Acoustimass 16
Series 2 which has the 3 bass woofer speakers on the modual vs the older Bose products. You can only get the more powerful Bass module with the Acoustimass 16 Series II, which we are reviewing now. Ok...ciao everyone
Description of Bose Acoustimass 16 Series II Home Entertainment Speaker System (Black)
The Acoustimass 16 Series II home entertainment speaker system, our best home theater speaker system, provides the cinematic depth of six speaker surround sound for your home entertainment. It works with your 6.1-channel receiver and your home theater components to bring Bose® quality sound to movies, TV, sports and music. A horizontal center-channel speaker complements flat-panel TVs and blends nicely into your décor. The Acoustimass 16 surround sound speaker system increases the impact of home theater listening with a rear center speaker for even greater drama and realism. This heightened experience in music and motion picture listening is largely aided by a powered Acoustimass module for exceptional sound that appears to come only from the small speaker arrays. Imagine your favorite movie with Bose 6.1 surround sound. Footsteps on the sidewalk behind you. A flute playing to your left. Voices, front and center. The Direct/Reflecting® cube speaker arrays-barely over 6" high-deliver sound you'd expect from speakers many times their size. And the horizontal center-channel speaker keeps dialogue focused on the screen and complements flat-panel TVs.Digital Cameras and Photo Categories
