Features:
  • In the 4th series of this outstandingly popular speaker system, the left and right channel drivers are less than 4 high and direct the middle and upper ranges of the audio spectrum with exceptional clarity, definition and realism
  • The Acoustimass Module uses one 5.25 ported bass driver that accurately delivers lower frequencies with dimensional depth (without the annoying rumble associated with lesser speakers)
  • The result, when connected to your stereo system, is unbounded realism and distinctive stereo reproduction that is totally faithful to the original recording
  • The Acoustimass Module is compact and fits virtually anywhere in your room while the Satellite speakers are so compact they're barely noticeable
  • Sound is heard and not seen. The overall experience is pure ecstacy

Product Description
The Acoustimass 3 speaker system delivers the ear-pleasing low tones of a bassoonor the deep, dramatic effects of movies. The Acoustimass module produces these notes without audible distortion and can be hidden behind furniture. Rich, full music and movie sound appear to come from the small cube speakers, rather than from the module, hidden out of view. Remarkable richness and clarity emanate from the two Virtually Invisible cube speakers. Music from your existing stereo equipment sounds natural and true. These diminutive speakers can be wall mounted or displayed on speaker stands with our line of accessory mounting options. And the Acoustimass 3 speaker system easily handles more than music. Connect this speaker system to the rear channel outputs of your home theater equipment, and enjoy the same superb sound quality from your movies as you do your music.

1 out of 5 stars No bass, tinny sound not worthy of the Bose reputation...   March 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I can't believe there are so many good reviews of these speakers on here. I read mixed reviews on other sites and figured that I would give these speakers a try. What a bad decision! I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, but I have a pretty good ear. I hooked these speakers up to my home audio system (to replace a pair of Sony bookshelf speakers) and the sound was so disappointing. It was basically on par with my Dell laptop speakers - tinny with no bass. I called Bose because I figured maybe I had a defective product and they told me that it was my "opinion" that they sounded tinny and and that it's normal for there not to be a lot of bass because this system does NOT come with a powered bass module. The bass module is just a big box basically - not much comes out of it, no matter where you put it in the room. Needless to say, I returned these speakers. Even though they are on the lower end of the Bose line, I still expected so much more from both the product and the support staff. A word of advice - think twice before buying these. There's a reason for which there are so many mixed reviews.


5 out of 5 stars Great speakers for a small space.   November 11, 2006

I purchased this speaker system because I wanted something small and unobtrusive. It has more than met my expectations.


4 out of 5 stars Great speakers.   February 24, 2006

I did a lot of research on speakers, I wanted something that didn't dominate the living room, and that would even look nice. These speakers are perfect. I bought the white ones, and bought the Crutchfield wall mounts for $25 each. I highly recommend these wall mounts. They look nice and you can partially aim the speakers.

These speakers are loud enough for parties and hip-hop music, and nice for movies on the dvd.

I was torn between the Bose AM3 and the AM5 speakers. I didn't want to pony up $200-300 more in the end, and I'm glad because I recently went to a Bose store and they played the AM3 and the AM5 speakers back to back in a comparative test. Both were very similar, and didn't warrant the price difference.

These speakers will not let you down. I paid $189 for the pair during a christmas sale on Amazon that were sold direct from Bose.com.



5 out of 5 stars Bose - more than just a "name" product   January 30, 2004

We just bought the Bose AM-3 Series speakers to replace 16 year old KEF speakers. We needed the space the old ones took up, and decided since we didn't listen to the stereo as much anymore, we could sacrifice some performance quality for size.
What a wonderful surprise to find that after hooking them up we lost nothing in quality. In fact, because we could place the mini-speakers up high (off the floor and out of the way), we have much better sound separation.
We weren't sure whether to go with the 3-Series or the 5-Series, but the 3's are fine for our needs. We would definitely recommend these for anyone who has moved past the old "audiophile" phase and wants really good sound at an affordable price.
