Bose Companion 5
T he satellites on the Bose Companion 5-hereon referred to as the BC 5-look like a prop from a Star Wars film set. However, the long subwoofer looks a little like a largish UPS. The matte-finished black and grey looks elegant, and the stylish satellites and classy control pod all add up to a killer...

Bose Companion 5 Produces Superior Sound
I am 98% satisfied with the unit despite the fact that used with a single PS/2 mouse, single PS2 keyboard, and single two channel audio output two-computer KVM switch, (1) it is only capable of true two channel sound; (2) the auxilliary two audio channel input lies at the front of the wired remote...

Great Sound from Bose
Once again Bose does it well, but does it at a price that most cannot afford. The sound is great and the very small size of the desktop speakers are a big plus. The speakers should not be placed more than 24 inches apart when lisitening to 5.1 thru the decoder.

Impressive Volume of Sound
This is probably the best computer speaker system you can buy. It connects via USB and has no facility to connect through your sound card. I don't know at this time whether or not you can remove your sound card from your system or if it's still needed for signal processing.

Not a great product IMO.
This was my first purchase of a Bose product to replace my old Logitech speakers that lasted years. I was quite surprised that there is no way to connect these speakers to my audio output jacks or adjust the sound quality and effects with my computers software.
Pros:
- Nice looking and decent sound
Cons:
- Not able to connect to audio output jacks or sound cards
- No software to adjust sound effects or quality

Good speaker system
I use the system as a speaker system for my primary design computer. The sound is good quality and crisp. I bought it to replace a Logitech system and have to say for the price I am a little disappointed that it doesn't completely blow the Logitech system away considering it is three times the...

These speakers are awesome. I have owned now for just over 2 years, and they produce great sound. One thing I love is their minimalist design - I didn't want something that dominated my desk, and these Bose speakers are ideal for that. Another great feature is the Bose volume knob.

For the Fine Tuned Sound Expert
These are not your father's computer speakers, they are a whole other brand of sound monsters created in a secret lab hidden away from the world. Seriously though, these computer speakers can easily compete with 5.1 THX stereo computer speakers with not much in the way of comparison.
Pros:
- Excellent highs and lows
- full reproduction of sound
- good looking
- somewhat space saving
- nice extras
- WOW factor
Cons:
- VERY high fidelity learning curve
- as if this were a bad thing

Bose Companion 5 Speakers
A while back, I bought a Slim devices Squeezebox 3 (a network music player manufactured by Logitech) and I then needed some powered speakers to connect to it. Currently, however, the market for powered speakers is a little sparse.
