Amazon.com Product Description
A versatile choice for both listening to music and appreciating the sonic splendor of big-budget blockbusters, the Bose 161 multipurpose speaker system offers topnotch sound in an elegant package. Unlike conventional speakers, which radiate sound in a single direction, these speakers use Bose's Articulated Array and Stereo Everywhere technologies to project sound throughout the entire room, so listeners in the corner can appreciate the same subtleties as those in the middle. In addition, the proprietary Twiddler drivers (two 2.5-inch drivers in each enclosure) make the speakers sound much larger than they actually are. The end result is a consistently impressive sound field that simulates the cinema experience. Meanwhile, the speakers' actual size--they measure 11 inches wide by 4.12 inches tall--belies their big sound, so you can store them easily in compact locations, such as small dorm rooms or crowded offices. They even come with mounting brackets for installing on a wall or ceiling. The speakers' sleek black housing also blends into practically any décor. Additional features include magnetic shielding, which protects your TV from video interference, and automatic overdrive protection. The speakers are computer tested for quality and reliability and carry a five-year warranty from Bose. What's in the Box Left speaker, right speaker, mounting brackets, self-adhesive rubber feet, user's manual.
Product Description
Beneath the sleek exterior of each 161 speaker resides the technology that makes these speakers so versatile. Two proprietary Twiddler drivers in each enclosure help the 161 speaker rival speakers of much larger size. Articulated Array® speaker design positions those drivers to provide a large, consistent sound field so you can enjoy Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance from almost anywhere in the room. In your dorm, office or living room, youll enjoy the rich, full musical performance these small speakers can provide. And they are also an ideal choice for home theater applications. Connect them to your existing home theater system and enjoy Bose sound from your favorite movies. With custom mounting brackets, these elegant speakers offer a range of placement options throughout your home or office.

 Very Happy February 17, 2010
T-Bone (Lincoln, NE)
I am very happy with these rear surround speakers from Bose. they sound great, look great, and were very easy to mount on the wall. Highly recommend this product
Sound quality is great, but demands strong bass boost December 3, 2009
Jose Luiz (Brazil)
I was a bit disappointed with the low bass level. I have to boost low frequencies about 8 dB to get them to the proper level. After that I had to adjust the whole equalizer range (by ear) to get a balanced sound. A chart with frequency response would help a lot but I was not able to find it. Anyway, it sounds great, clear.
Great for backgroud mood music in the home September 26, 2009

I am convinced that the reviewers calling these "cheap" or "tinny" sounding have never listened to them.
If you want unabtrusive speakers to provide clean and spacious background music with a decent base response these are perfect (Eagles, Carley Simon, Joni Mitchel, Miles Davis etc.) If you want speakers to play at volumes you need to shout over and rattle the fillings out of your teeth (Zep, AC/DC, Sabbath), look elsewhere.
These are perfect if mostly used for providing background mood music in rooms when entertaining, such as for the holidays. We have 2 pair we have been using for 5 years in a 23'x16' LR and 28'x14' kitchen and they still sound like new. We are adding a third pair in the dining room and a 4th on the porch.
Well made wall mounts as well.
Very good for surround July 13, 2009

The Bose 161s do a very good job as surround speakers for (in my case) a typical sized family room. I've used them for several weeks now as side surround speakers. In my setup all of the bass is directed to the two large front speakers and the subwoofer, so the 161s just need to provide clear neutral sounding support - which they do very well.
My order was fulfilled by JR Music (through Amazon) and the speakers were shipped and arrived in a few days with no delays.
These are odd shaped speakers with compound curves. I have my speakers laying on their sides (bookshelf style) and the Bose provided rubber feet to stabilize the speakers were missing from the package. Without the feet, the speakers rock from side to side. I called Bose customer service, and they very quickly and politely handled my call, and sent the rubber feet, express mail at no charge.
