Product Description
To some, music and movies are a nice diversion. To others, they represent a passion. If you fall into the latter category, the Acoustimass 15 speaker system is made to order. Bose's best Virtually Invisible 5.1-channel home entertainment speaker system delivers the full impact and effects of today's digital audio and video formats. Your ears won't believe your eyes as music, movies, TV programs and sporting events come alive in your room. Engineered for the latest in digital video and audio, the Acoustimass 15 system can also be easily upgraded to a 6.1-channel solution. Wouldn't it be nice to own a system that can grow with you when you're ready? You want edge-of-your-seat excitement, and the technology built into this system enables a 5.1-channel performance that can leave you breathless. Bose's redesigned powered Acoustimass module features proprietary technologies to faithfully reproduce the lowest audible notes across all channels. The module includes three downward-firing drivers that allow you to hear - and feel - the most exhilarating special low-frequency effects common in DVDs. Hide the module out of sight, and all the sound seems to come from the tiny cube speaker arrays. Brace yourself as thunderous waves crash against a storm-tossed ship, or revel in the lilting sound of a single flute. The Acoustimass 15 system gives you cinema-like experiences and music that sounds full and natural at any volume.Many would think these effects require large component speakers. But Bose's Direct/Reflecting speaker technology helps deliver big sound from speakers you can practically fit in the palm of your hand. The Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays produce a lifelike, spacious soundstage while blending elegantly with your decor. The Acoustimass 15 speaker system works with most 5.1 surround sound receivers. If you're planning to own a 6.1 surround sound receiver, you'll appreciate this system's adaptability with a Bose 6.1 upgrade speaker kit.
Amazon.com Product Description
From a rumbling tidal wave to a shimmering violin, the Acoustimass 15 Series II speaker system was designed to bring the full emotional import of music and film to your living room with depth and clarity. Innovative Bose technology and design let you enjoy Bose's best-performing 5.1-channel speaker system with your other surround-sound components--without the bulk of traditional speakers. The Acoustimass 15 speaker system is also upgradeable for 6.1-channel receivers.

The foundation of this system is Bose's powered Acoustimass module, which features three down-firing drivers and proprietary technology to deliver the highest-impact performance of any Bose home-entertainment speakers. Hear the clarity and proper balance of the lowest audible notes and effects from all channels for both music and movies. You can place the hideaway bass module, or subwoofer, just about anywhere--even behind furniture--and all the sound appears to come from the tiny cube speakers.

As films unfold on your screen, you'll hear the swell of an orchestra and the energy of a busy city street. Five Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays--each only 6 inches tall--produce these 5.1-channel surround sound effects with vivid character that belies their small size. The speaker arrays are optimized to render high and midrange frequencies for natural music presentations and clear dialogue.

The Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays blend direct with reflected sound to re-create a natural spaciousness--much like the sense of "air" and "room" you'd hear at a live concert. The arrays are engineered to let you experience rich sound almost anywhere in the room, not just in a single small "sweet spot."

The elements of this speaker system are engineered for space efficiency, so they don't intrude on your decor. The largest part of the system--the Acoustimass bass module--tucks neatly behind a couch or a curtain. You can mount the small cube speaker arrays tastefully on your walls or display them attractively on optional speaker stands (the UFS-20 universal floor stands).

The Acoustimass 15 speaker system is also designed to increase its capabilities as you upgrade your equipment. The Acoustimass 15 Series II 6.1 upgrade speaker kit lets you enjoy 6.1-channel surround sound (front left/center/right, rear left/center/right, and a .1 subwoofer channel) with a compatible audio/video receiver. Automatic protection circuitry prevents the system's drivers from being overdriven and provides increased reliability without interfering with your listening.
