A Rare Truth in Advertizing — Big Audio, Small Footprint
I’ve needed a PC speaker upgrade for years and recently purchased the Bose Companion 5 speaker system at the Bose Outlet store in Palm Springs.

So much beauty out of such a tiny little package
Most of my listening now is done via my computer. I was really missing high fidelity but I don’t have to now. Bose has done an amazing job on this compact stereo system.

All that everyone says, but here are the drawbacks
Don’t get me wrong– I recommend purchasing these speakers. I am a previous several year owner of the Companion 3 series 1 speakers and loved almost everything about them.

OVERPROCESSED SOUND
Though they sounded quite promising in the store, I was shocked how artificial-sounding the audio was when applied to music I knew.

Oustanding speakers, but…

Great Sound
It really does simulate the surround. I pretty much replaced my messy 5.1 logitech system.
