Nothing like Bose speakers. I have a pair of much larger Bose that I have had since 1988 and they still crank. These 161 series are no exception. Great sound for their size! I wall mounted them above our fireplace mantle which is wall to wall in each corner. The mounts that come with the speakers are really easy to mount to the wall. Highs and mid-range are beautiful. Depending on the song and recording, the low end is really nice. Separation is fantastic. I did have a subwoofer I wasn't using and incorporated it. Made a huge difference. If I didn't have it, the sound I was getting was just fine. Now the house is filled with sound. No matter what I pipe through them, vinyl, CD, tape, digital, it all sounds great. Dark Side of the Moon never sounded so good, except live in concert.

We have other small size home theater speakers from Bose that work off their own amp and have been excellent for many years. We added these into the system as rear surround that work directly to the main receiver and their quality is as good. These work well in our system and we are very happy with them.

I opted for the Bose 161 because of its size, shape, and mounting brackets. I used these for my surround (left & right), and they provide excellent sound. And because they are small they are hardly noticeable. The white blends in with the white trim so not to stand out so badly. The mounting brackets are straight forward and well concealed behind the speaker - priced well below $200; its a bargain!

For a compact set of speakers, the sound terrific. They were easy to mount up on the mounting hardware provided. If you were looking for a tremendous amount of low end, you will have to use a subwoofer along with them

I am using these as rear surrounds/atmos in my 7.1 Onkyo/Klipsch system. They are very attractive IMO and place well with the mounting brackets. Although these are the first set of Bose that I've actually owned I have listened to a few Bose speaker systems. I am always surprised by the amount of quality sound emitting from these (relatively) small enclosures. These 161's are no exception. They do a great job of filling in as surround speakers. Cheers
