Hi Mary, Thanks for the info. I looked at the 685LS and it sounds real good. As far as a woofer, their frequency range sounds very adequate. I believe they go down to 40 hz. At 92 I don't need that real low, boomy bass that the teen's like. BudAt 06:36 PM 1/18/2015, you wro

Hi Bud, I put a new subject line reflecting your original interest. The Bowers and Wilkins speakers I had in mind are the 685 s2. I do not personally own these. I have had larger floor standing B&Ws in the pastg as well as in wall b&Ws in a home we lived in a few years ago,

If size is a concern you may want to try the Klipsch G28. They are very slim and not very deep but still sound reasonably well. Cost is moderate. http://www.klipsch.com/gallery-g-28-flat-panel-speaker Frank -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behal

Hi Mary, I'd be interested in hearing a little more about those speakers you mentioned. Cost is a little bit of a consideration, but I'm more interested in quality and size. I'm moving into a very small place compared with where I am now and can't take my big speakers. I didn't intend to s

I have the Bose sound wave system purchased a number of years ago. I am sure some folks will take offense at what I am about to say, and it is not my intent to offend anyone. My problem with any of the Bose radios which I have seen is that there is no such thing as controls for equalization.

I hadn't heard that one before; the chief complaint I have heard about the older Bose systems is that there was no way to adjust the tone! So you got what you got...and there was no way to change it! But I thought I had been told that it's different now! Tom Kaufman -Original Message- Fr

Hi. Sounds like to me you are after a hometheater system from Bose right? They are epic sounding, how ever the speakers are small, and you do hear a squashed effect when something is icelated to 1 speaker. I've even seen this with my Companion 5 vurtual surround sound system. Theresn't bass out of

Both my wife and mother-in-law have those Bose radios. I'd rather listen to a dentist's drill. The highs and vocals sound like I have cotton balls in my ears. The low end, is non-existent and its obvious that Bose believes bass to be something only a 16 year old in a Honda Civic has any interest
