Bose 301 Series V bookshelf speakers

Date Published: 3/27/06

The Bose 301 Series V speakers are stalwarts of the Bose lineup. These bookshelf speakers are rightfully famous for reproducing music and movie soundtracks with exceptional fidelity, and they provide the unusually wide soundfield that is a Bose trademark.

The 301s are suitable for use as stereo speakers working alone, or as the front left and right satellites of a larger home theater system. The 301 speakers use the Bose Direct/Reflecting design that angles the drivers forward and back, using reflections from the walls to add spaciousness to the direct sound.

Each 301 has an 8-inch front-firing woofer and a pair of 2-inch tweeters, one firing forward and one firing rearward. The cabinets have a bass reflex design that produces surprisingly good bass from the small enclosure.

The MSRP of $328 is per pair of 301s, and they are available in black or light cherry finishes. The recommended power is 10 watts to 150 watts, rated from 4 to 8 ohms.

The Bose 301 Series V speakers are modern classics, having proven themselves as genuine high-fidelity speakers that are enjoyed by countless listeners.
