Fun At Home!.......2007-08-05
Ok, true, there are some concerns about the graphics and repeating questions. But if the graphics looked as well as at a public place, and you can see the numbers you pushed on the controller, this item would have sold at a much higher price. This game was barely was within my price range, and took a bit of time before I could get this.
I got mine from Target, and I don't mind the "vintage" graphics too much. I'm greatful to have gotten to see the words and was able to read. As for the remotes, I just leave my finger on which one I pushed until I decide to push another. I love the battery operation because I don't have to plug it up. If I'm really worried about losing the high scores, I can just write them down before the battery goes out. Sounds tedious, I know. But at least being battery operated, I don't have to worry about positioning it for the sake of the plug legnth. It's nice I can do this at home, especially now that I don't get to go out a lot like I used to. And since I find trivia hard, I find it educational. As for repeated questions, well at least I can take a chance on scoring higher the next time if I didn't answer it right off the bat the first time.
The only REAL bad thing I have to say about this game is that when a new person takes the lead, it doesn't point it out in huge letters like it does in the public version of the game.
FUN FUN FUN!!!!.......2007-03-21

Buzztime Trivia Review.......2007-01-23
The trivia system is entirely battery opperated, which is an inconvenience. It would be better if there were a converter that I could plug in. If you don't change the batteries immedietly on the main operating system all high scores may be lost. I also have experienced a lot of repeat questions, the system doesn't do a very good job of determining if the questions have been used yet. Additional question cartridges can be purchased and they contain only 250 questions each. Otherwise, it has been fun to play!
Loads of Fun for a whole group.......2007-01-11
We had a load of fun with this game. We passed around the buzzer but I could see some value to having several buzzers. We collaborated over our answers and really had fun working as teams. Give this game a try!
Okay, but nothing like the real buzztime trivia.......2005-12-13
I got this as a gift because I love to play trivia in restraunts. Yes, the game is fun, but there is so much more than can be improved. What I do like is the wireless remotes, it makes it much easier to play and be comfortable and play with larger groups of people. But, the graphics are horrible, sometimes even hard to read. There is no where on your remote to tell what number you have chosen, so if you pushed the wrong one you dont know it and never know unless it is the right answer. Also, starting the game takes forever! The worst part of the game is after only playing 2 games, the questions start to repeat themselves! For the price of this game, this should not happen so quickly. The games says ther are 750 questions, but you will get atleast 2 or more repeats in each game which takes away from the fun. I wish they had made it better quality for the price. I will keep playing it though because I need my trivia fix, but the scene it game is not only funner, but you get more for your money!
Amazon.com Product Description
Experience enhanced sound from Bose's most affordable, next-generation Acoustimass stereo speakers. The Acoustimass 3 system delivers bass that's the deepest and fullest yet. Two single-cube speakers--smaller than ever before--are elegantly designed to fit virtually any decor. And the module easily hides away behind furniture or off in a corner, so all the lifelike sound seems to flow from the tiny cubes.
When you hear the Acoustimass 5 Series III speakers, you'll think you're listening to much larger speakers. Yet the spacious sound actually comes from two tiny cube speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass bass module. The improved cube speakers offer enhanced performance, contemporary styling, and a smaller size than the Series II. And the improved module fills a room with even deeper, fuller bass. These Virtually Invisible speakers are the definitive answer to the question of how to combine spacious sound with space-saving design.
Though the Virtually Invisible speaker design may seem like a disappearing act, the performance is quite noticeable. Full, resonating bass and crystal-clear highs envelop a room in beautiful stereo sound. It's all the result of years of intense research and testing. The Acoustimass 5 speakers accomplish what no conventional speakers can claim: big, lifelike sound without big, bulky speakers. Now or in the future, Acoustimass stereo speakers can be turned into a home theater set by simply adding the compatible Bose VCS-10 center-channel speaker. For full five-speaker surround sound, add the VCS-30 center-surround speaker package.

With a blend of reflected and direct sound, this innovative Bose® technology recreates the way sound reaches your ears during a live performance.

Crystal clear sound.......2007-12-13
Great speakers, don't know why are there some Bose haters, but are there really listening to them? buy this speakers, perfect match for any stereo receiver.
Lot of Sound!.......2007-11-24
This set of speakers are great. I never knew so much sound could come from such small speakers. I like the way the top and bottom of the speakers swivel to get sound from almost every direction. No regrets here.
I like what I hear...........2007-11-24
I bought the Bose Acoustimass 5 for a friend in Korea to use in his flat screen TV. Once we set it up the sound transformation was phenomenal--it immediately gave the small room a big arena quality to it. Now I have his friends asking me when I am coming back to Korea so I can bring back another one (these are terribly expensive in Korea, btw).
Junk!.......2007-10-19
I paid what I thought was a premium price for premium speakers which sound like cheasy 1950s paper spekers. No bass, buzzes, no dynamic range, etc. , etc. etc. These speaker are all ads, ads, ads. No delivery at all. I have them hooked up to a good Denon 200 Watt receiver, and zip performance. Nada. They sound a thousand times worse than the rotted out 20-year-old Radio Shack speakers they replace. Bose is all puff and guff!!! No wonder they dont sell in regular audio stores; no one will handle this junk!!! Garbage!!! I was ripped off!! I am going back to Radio Shack. At least I dont feel bad paying nothing for junk then. And their junk is at least priced right. Jim Isham, Penfield, NY. God, this pisses me off. Bose can go jump in the lake and take their overhyped overpriced speakers with them; tied to their feet!!!!
bose is steady.......2006-10-29
Are they the best no.. Do they impress people who havent hear them before YES!! To me thats the best compliment, they are much more objective listeners
with no preconcived notions. All I ever hear is " Those speakers sound so Good" " I love those cool little speakers" etc. I've played everything from Bach to Dio and they sound very realistic. Subwoofer placement is key to having the proper bass level. At [...] they are a steal.. I paid [...]in 1991 and listen to them everyday they still sound like they did when new..

It does sounds good for its price........2007-10-18
It seems like the first step to be an audiophile is to criticize Bose. I got lost on that path a little bit. I spent six months going around to listen to many others speakers (included Polk and Klipsch). Of course, I heard some decent speakers that sound better than Bose, but they usually cost at least $3,000 each. But, for the similar price range Bose is hard to be beaten. I decided to buy it because it always make me smile our of my poker face at Bose showroom (not because of the funny sale guy).
I decided to adopt a set of AM6. People at the store told me that I may have to wait for 45 days. I think, that's OK. But, I can't live without some nice music for 45 days. Then, I placed my order for the AM6 and also brought home a pair of an inexpensive Bose 161. The 161 alone sounds very OK for music. Anyway, my receiver is Onkyo TX-SR605S. And my audio sort is the Mac mini optically connected to the Onkyo receiver. I could make my neighbors dance with this set. However, the 161 alone is no good for movies.
45 days later, I got the AM6. So, the pair 161 are now the back surround speakers. With the AM6, I got a 7.1 system. The first Onkyo automatic setup was great for the movies the floor and the walls were shaking. for some reasons, the floor and the walls were still shaking for music too. That is a little too much for me. The bass wasn't like a strong punch. It was more like a really annoying subwoofer effect from the next room. I was a bit disappointed. However, a month later when I was playing around with the Onkyo remote control, I found that the Onkyo set volume level of subwoofer to -3. I manually changed it to +3. Now, it is a lot better for music. It does sound like what I heard in Bose showroom. The movie sound effect is still cool. I think, the reason that make Onkyo receiver set the volume level very low for Bose speakers, because Bose bass module is not exactly a subwoofer. It also produces some midrange sound, which could mess up Onkyo automatic speakers calibration. One more good thing that I like about the AM6 is, speaker cables are included. I don't have to worry about what cabel should I use or how much do I have to pay more. But please note that, the center speaker of AM6 is identical with the satellite speakers. So, it could be better of a system that has a real center speaker.
Very disappointed.......2007-04-26
I'm no Audiophile as it were but I know quality when I hear it. I purchased the Acoustimass 6 (gen IV) on my belief and word on the street that Bose is the best. I'm sad to say don't believe the hype. They are good but not $899 good. The Bass is lame and the treble on the center channel drowns out the rest of the action if anyone is talking in the foreground. I'm running a Pioneer vsx2016 which is an awesome product. Anyway I plan to stay within this price range but take my business elsewhere, any suggestions? They are going to go back next week.
I'm soooo glad I unloaded these on someone else.......2006-06-02
I ditched my AM6 speakers through eBay and bought some good speakers instead. Anyone who likes Bose must only have their clock radio as a point of reference. I was able to sucker some chump into paying $400 for my Bose AM6 speakers, which I turned around into a set of Athena .5 speakers and a 10" Velodyne sub. All running from the same Pioneer VSX-D711 AV receiver as the Bose. My new speakers set me back about $350, leaving money left over for speaker wire and stands.
So, why am I so harsh on the Bose AM6 speakers? Well, they do look nice, but... they use proprietary speaker wires with speacial plugs. So, you have to use their wiring which really reduces the options for running wiring for the back surrounds. The small size is nice, but having speaker wire hanging out in plain site pretty much sucks.
Speaking of sucking, let's adress the major shortcoming of almost ALL Bose products, they just don't sound good. My budget Athena .5 speakers have a 1" tweeter and a 4" driver. This combo does a pretty good job of covering down to around 80Hz where the sub fills in. Not completely flat, but really nice for the price and signficantly better than what the Bose AM6 can do with its single 2.5" driver per speaker. The Velodyne sub can hit 30Hz and really fill in the low end, while the bass module (I refuse to call that Bose thingy a sub) doesn't get any where near that. And, since all 5 speakers are cabled through the bass module, you're really stuck finding a good place to hide it in your room.
So, what does all this mean? When watching a Dolby Digital or DTS movie, I can now actually notice the low frequency effects, and even feel them. with the Bose, you get muddled farting from the bass module (and, I suspect the cross over on the bass module is set pretty high in an attempt to compensate for the Bose Cubes' misserable low to mid range response, so you know where the sound is coming from, sort of distracting).
The overall sound stage is now much better with the new speakers, too. The Bose cubes were too easily localized, and didn't fill in the room very well. But... most important: when watching a movie, we can now actually hear the dialog! With the Bose AM6, it seemed like the music sound track and other ambiant sounds were constantly overwhelming the dialog. Turns out, this was due to the fact that crappy little cube speakers aren't able to effectively produce sound in that low to mid frequency range, where most dialog lives. Take a look at all the traditional center channel speakers everyone else sells, they usually feature a single tweeter and two or more mid-range drivers of decent size (4" to 6" depending on cost). Now, compare that to the single 2.5" driver found in the Bose cube "center channel". Which one do you think will do a better job of reproducing the full frequency of sound needed to enjoy a movie?
Sorry to ramble a bit, but I was a chump when I fell for the Bose marketing hype/BS. Now that I've learned that I can get significantly better sound for 1/2 the cost (and I'm sure there are scores of other options), I'd hate to see someone else get suckered in by the hype. So, go back to Amazon's speaker section and try something else; Athena is a great brand;) and I'm sure there are lots of other choices...
sounds like a theatre.......2006-02-03
thanx for a great system...my living room now sounds like a full theatre...it's hard to believe so much sound comes out of speakers so small I got a great b-day present..thanx
Not worth the money or hype!.......2005-10-31
I heard this set at my Grandfather's friend's house. I think the fella spent like $750.00 on it from a local outlet mall. What a waste of well earned retirement money! He had a higher end Marantz receiver firing these puppies, and let me tell you the receiver was being shamefully wasted on these speakers. The lower end frequencies were o.k. and the highs were sufficient. What I felt was missing was the solid mids and voice presence. Don't get me wrong, music sounded good. But, trying to watch a movie was like riding in a car with huge subs and tweeters in the front door pillars. The lack of mid-bass was a huge downfall with these speakers.
I spent $200.00 less on a set of Dahlquist 5.1A and feel like they sound like $1000.00 speakers. They have an even frequency response all the way across. In my opinion they look a whole lot better mounted too. I'm running them with a Marantz SR6200 DTS receiver and they perform flawlessly. I would totally recommend anyone that's considering a BOOOSE system to reconsider and shop around. GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH, DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

Amazing amazing amazing sound .......2006-04-26
This system with the dvd player is incredible. I have plugged it into my mac and play all my i-tunes from it, and also have it connected to a projection screen tv. (Since I already have all my music digitized, I saw no reason to buy the upgraded model which would digitize all the songs directly onto the Bose receiver.)
The demonstration I heard in the local Bose store sold me on the system, and when I got home and pulled it out of the box, I had it up and running in about 20 minutes.
The system comes with Bose's own, "adaptiq" system which allows the system to calibrate the sound system to fit your room.
Basically they give you a headset that is outfitted with little microphones that allows the Bose receiver to listen to what the system sounds like in different parts of the room. It then optimizes the output of the five speakers to make sure the best sound reaches those areas evenly. You pick five places where you think you will watch movies or listen to music from, and you sit in each one for about a minute while the speakers emit weird sounds, and then presto, it is calibrated and you can have perfect sound throughout the room.
I was a little skeptical about it until I tried it out, and watched my first movie. It is better sound than any movie theater I have been to.
If you have the means to purchase this system and you are serious about sound, I recommend this product without reservation. I also suggest you get the whole Bose system over the speakers and a regular receiver because of the added Bose technology. The speakers by themselves are great but the Bose receiver makes them unbelievable.
My wife was a bit miffed at the price, but agrees that the sound is amazing. It has turned our weekly family movie night into a neighborhood event.

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.

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.

Decent Speaker system- you get what you pay for --.......2006-10-07
I own this from last one year. I did research from Infinity Beta series, Atlantic Technology, KEF, M&K ...many others. They sound great but they are bulky. If you want similar performance and nice look (Virtually invisible) yes, Bose is the way to go. I hooked up this to my Yamaha RXV 1500 THX Receiver. It shakes.
This is definitely NOT Radio-shack quality.
NOTHING BEATS BOSE QUALITY.................2006-09-16
I HAVE HAD MY BOSE AM 10"s THE SYSTEM PRIOR TO THIS ONE ALTHOUGH THEY LOOK IDENTICAL, SINCE 1996 AND I MUST SAY THE SOUND ON MY SURROUND SOUND THEATER SYSTEM STILL MAKES ME JUMP WHEN I PLAY A DVD WITH EITHER D T S OR DOLBY 5.1 ........ BOSE ALTHOUGH THEY MAKE VERY EXPENSIVE SYSTEMS REALLY OFFER A PRODUCT THAT WILL LAST YOU THROUGH THE YEARS. AND IF YOU READ CNET OR ONE OF THE OTHER ONLINE REVIEWERS YOU WILL NOTICE HOW ALL THE OTHER WANNA BE SPEAKER MANUFACTURERS ONLY COMPARE THEMSELVES TO BOSE, AND NO ONE ELSE I WONDER WHY????????
music to ears.......2006-09-13
Like what the other guy said if your room is around 20x15 and you want to keep speakers 'virtually invisible' this is for you. You buy it, try it if don't like it return it.I have been trying it and so far it's delivered upto my high expectations.Not only does it sound sweet and I feel like sitting in a live concert, or movie theater it cost me less than here also;) In B Js the package (AM15 series 1 silver+samsung HT DS610B receiver+5cd/dvd changer) for 950.I earlier thought samsung receiver/dvd player must be trashy but it's working okay and I could wait till HDMI-adaptive Onkyo (TX SR604 in particular) comes down to 200s (its right now 400).In one word I'd describe my HT as incredible.bose delivers! (for what it is known)
Great speakers, price could be better.......2006-05-23
Lets face it, you want to spend your hard earned money on something that will sound great and last for a long time. I agree with most reviewer that the price is too high, but I think the quality is great. I actually have a 6.1 receiver that hooks these speakers up and the additional Bose center speaker. I've had these for 3 years and they worked great, even after 3 different moves across the country. I have almost everything hooked up by fiber optics to my receiver for the best possible quality. Trust me their is a difference between, optical and analog quality and it obvious whenever I listen or play something on TV. Even still to this day when I watch a movie or play a video game I swear I'm hearing something outside or in the house, but its just the sound from the speakers.
Also if you know someone in the military, they sell Bose at the PX/BX(Post/Base Exchange). I got mine there and it was cheaper and tax free.
Overpriced Junk with Shiny Marketing.......2006-05-06
I bought a set of these for my sister-in-law because she was convinced Bose was the best. For comparison, I had installed a $300 multimedia computer speaker system for her son a few months prior. the $300 system put these things to shame. if you do a little research, you learn that bose is basically radio shack quality speakers with nike level marketing. i suggest you do your research before paying for a fancy ad campaign.

FTA Receiver View Sat Ultra.......2007-11-17
This unit is great to see satellite broadcasts from anywhere! I was skeptical of the product, but the unit is updatable via the front USB port by using a thumb drive with no rebooting or anything! Updates are usually availble free every week or two at a time as the codes change forhte unit to function. I have three dishes attached to mine and have had no issues at all. The unit is very simple to setup and program! Up an running in around 30 minutes! No need to pay the satellite companies so much money to receive your signals for you.. do it yourself and save that money! This is a no-brainer, and easy to setup. Makes a great hobby too!
