Wow! Phenomenal Sound!
This system flat out RoCkS! I was not expecting it to sound THIS great! The 2 desktop speakers are small and easy to place. The Subwoofer is sorta long, pretty heavy, and packs out some really nice bass!

otherwise relax and enjoy wonderful sound quality
Bose is the brand name in home speakers. Yes they're costly, but worth every dime. I've had multiple speaker combinations on various computers, and these beat them all hands down. Audio wise they're clean with little sound coloration from top to bottom, which itself is adjustable.

Bose Companion 5 system
If the price would have been $100 less, I would have given it 4 stars; and if it was $200 less I would have given it 5 stars. I have both the Klipch ProMedia 2.1 and the Logitech Z2300, both of which cost less than half of the Bose but sound equally good, or better.
Pros:
- Beautiful
- crisp
- clean sound at low volume
Cons:
- Bass falls flat at higher volume
- Too expensive for what you get

Too Frustrating For Me!
I had to return these under Bose great warranty. I REALLY wish they'd have worked for me- the sound was great as was the style. I use a MacBook Pro that I unhook from power and Thunderbolt daily when leaving work- same basic setup I've used for 19 years with Harman Kardon SoundSticks.

Super Awesome
This is my best purchase. After going through various options from Sony, Bose and Yamaha. I found this to be unmatched in terms of sound quality. I was hesitant to buy this one as it was 2.1 system against others who were offering 5.1 system with multiple inputs.

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.

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...
Pros:
- Great Sound Quality

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.
