Bose Companion 2 Series II Multimedia Speaker System

 

Client Reviews

I have Altec Lansing ATP3 back at my home. They are a quite great 2.1 set, and in no way had complications with them. But now, I am away from home.
I set out to invest in speakers to help me loosen up in my hotel space. My very first selection would have been a two.1 system. But because I am place up in a hotel space, a two.1 process would prove heavy on my floor-space. So, as an alternative I began to appear out for beneficial two. systems.
There are a few tiny speakers in the market place, but all of them compromise sound superior more than portability. I am ready to drag along some weight if necessary, but I didn't want tin cans.
Just after a lot of study, I ended up with two options - Bose Companion two Series II and Klipsch Promedia 2.. The Klipsch ones had terrific reviews all more than the place. The bose speakers had been rather new and haven't however received a qualified critique anywhere. My deciding aspect was the size. I wanted the smallest of the speakers without a compromise on sound good quality. The klipsch speakers had been larger than the Bose. So, I had to choose Bose. I didn't get to listen to Klipsch Promedia two. anyplace, so I can't do a comparison. On the other hand, I did get to hear Klipsch Promedia two.1 ahead of and they are exceptionally great. I would prefer them to any Bose process if I was OK with a 2.1 program.
I had heard Bose Companion 2 (the older ones) at a Bose retailer, and didn't like them significantly, as they sounded tinny. A lot of screeching sound, and a lack of bass. But I located Series II to be substantially better. Thanks to Bose for overcoming this dilemma even if that needed an enhance in the size of the speakers ever so slightly.
Now that I had only 1 alternative, I went ahead and brought these speakers dwelling. Needless to say that these speakers had been seriously superior. I could hear the player's fingers rubbing against the guitar wires and all.
I listen to a lot of Rock, Jazz and Classical. The sound is really balanced, and reproduces bass, mid-tone and treble on a great deal more or less equal footage. I believe the bass and treble are amplified a small far more. Perhaps that is a decision Bose have taken to "define" their desktop speakers.
The advantage Bose has to other speakers of the similar class, is the digital circuitry they likely use to improve the sound to bring in elevated stereo separation and roominess to the sound. The sound coming out is certainly alot more pleasing to the ears, and feels room-filling. You wouldn't get this knowledge with speakers from other brands, even so faithful they are in reproducing sound as exactly as recorded.
Now, an advantage that's pretty much a disadvantage. These speakers are so correct in reproducing the sound that you can't forgive playing mp3s at low bitrates. You need mp3s to be coded at least at 128kbps for the sound to be acceptable. I rip my music at VBR 192-320kbps and I obtain it difficult to differentiate in between the original CD and the mp3, So, by no means more than-compress your music.
Now, two clear disadvantages. The 1st is that these speakers are built to aim their very best sound at the person sitting at the desktop. The sound fills the room, but you shed out on the spaciousness. The stereo separation is really good at 6-ten feet away, but the spaciousness is lost. So, these speakers do have a sweet-spot, and that is a chair suitable next to the desktop. I wish Bose supplied swivel stands, so that I could point my speakers at my couch and nonetheless get the finest from the speakers.
Disadvantage 2. I have played at least 200 tracks by now. The sound reproduction was near perfect, except for 1 track. I was playing a classical track "Symphony No. 3 in E-flat key, Op. 55, "Eroica" - Scherzo: Allegro Vivace". This is an mp3 that has been shipped along with Windows Vista. Somewhere in the middle of the track, when a trumpet is played at a certain note, the perfect speaker gives a buzz. It implies that I hit the organic frequency of the appropriate speaker, and that resulted in resonance. I completely know each object has its own organic frequency and you can't aid it if you make a sound matching their natural frequency. But I am disappointed Bose did not develop it tight enough to keep away from the buzz. I am not sure if this a defect in the speaker. But I can't return these speakers showing that the speakers buzz in only 1 track out of 200 tracks.
That is about it. The speakers are almost the very best you could get in a two. to my information. The only contendor would be the Klipsch Promedia Ultra 2. and if you have adequate desk-space and don't want them to be as portable, you could as properly go for the Klipsch. But you mght miss upon the spacious-feel circuitry that Bose makes use of.
Advantages
Beneficial balance in sound. Adequate bass - I don't miss the woofer
TrueSpace technologies - whatever this thing is, your ears will like it
modest size - nearly portable
Disadvantages
Speakers aimed at the desktop user. No swivel stands
Buzz on ideal speaker playing a specific track (not certain if
this is a defect)
I am tempted to put cost as a disadvantage, but I failed to get speakers of the exact same class at a lower price. So, I would rather leave the value alone.
