Manufacturer's Description

Bose Bose 161 White Surround Speaker System

If you didn't know it was from Bose, you might not expect much from this elegant but unassuming little speaker. But the 161 packs several patented Bose technologies into its slender cabinet to ensure spacious, ear-pleasing results. The Articulated Array speaker design houses two angled, full-range 2-1/2" drivers engineered to generate more air movement from a small enclosure than conventional drivers. And Bose's Stereo Everywhere speaker performance delivers great stereo sound throughout the room, not just in a small "sweet spot" like standard speakers.

Strengths: GREAT SOUND FOR THE PRICE. Excellent design make those speakers blend in nicely in my living room. They do come with wall mounting hardware for easy installation.

Weaknesses:

Overall Evaluation: I have found the Bose 161's to be the perfect choice for rear channel information in my home theater. My home theater is somewhat typical in that the main seating is on a couch pushed up against the rear wall. In this environment it is very difficult to find a rear channel speaker that you can place directly behind the listeners, because most speakers are very directional and sonically draw attention to themselves. The Bose 161's are perfect in this situation, because their sound is very diffuse and non-directional. Despite the fact that these speakers are mounted on the wall only 1 foot from the listener's ears, they never draw attention to themselves either sonically or aesthetically which is exactly what you want in a rear channel. With a choice of either white or black you can match any decor and still have a great sounding home theater without building a seperate room in your home.
