A trashcan.



Now be nice, Lets be helpful no matter what you may think of this product.


Actually a far superior idea would be to run the center channel audio from
receiver to TV. The TV will have better speakers than the bose.




There we go again. trashing Bose for no other reason than hating them.

Wong. I speak from experience. Examine a few tvs and the quality of the
speaker drivers inside them. Examine a few bose speakers and the quality of the
drivers.

This is really simple stuff.






A VC-10 has SUPERIOR sound to anything built inside a TV. Bigger
speakers, an engineered enclosure... Almost ANYTHING costing $100 or
more will sound BETTER than the built in speakers on the TV

You're talking out your ass.

EXPERIENCE is a GREAT teacher.

Not that I own a VC-10, never have.

To my ears, Bose System 7, System 5, and 901 sound FAR better than any
TV I have EVER owned. I have in my posssession, all three of these
systems. They are far from GREAT, but they are MORE than ADEQUATE.

Keep in mind, that right now, I am watching TV on a 21incher that we
bought at Walmart for $135
I had a mid-90s version of a JVC 55 inch CRT RPTV. The speakers in that
SUCK as do the speakers in this low end TV that we use.

At first I thought this was a good idea, but isn't it better to have
all speakers of the same brand? I don't think there's any display
units that have Bose built-in speakers.

Good thing too.
The speakers in the tv are most likely of a much higher quality than the bose.

And there's a REASON for that!

I recently had an IBM monitor that touted BOSE internal speakers. I thought,
maybe these would be better than the typical PC speakers you get for five
bucks so I opened up the monitor to get around the proprietary plug and
see about hooking them up.

I was wrong; those speakers were 1" drivers in a 1"x1"x6" plastic tube.
They couldn't have cost bose a whole dollar total and bose probably charged IBM
fifty dollars for the bose name.
Can't bose ever put even 2% of their price into drivers?

Like the VCS-10, bose didn't even spend five bucks on drivers.

The single biggest reason is NOT the one that you are saying.

Bose wants too much money as a licensing fee to use their name on the
product, and they impose too many restrictions. They enforce decisions
on size of drivers, type of drivers, power supplied to the speakers,
placement of the speakers...... The audio subsystem on most TV costs
the MFG less than $25. Bose would insist on spending at least $125 or more.

YES, there are MANY speakers out there that sound FAR better than
Bose. But Bill has a Bose and he is other wise happy with it.

Bose designed the VC-10 to sit on top of the TV set. As such, no
manufacturer has developed a product to wall or shelf mount a VC-10. To
my knowledge, Bose does not offer such

I can't speak for current technology, but I've got an old AM7 setup
upstairs and a 5 year old Hitachi rearprojection WS/HDTV console that
is not hooked up to a separate surround system downstairs. I have a
harder time recognizing when sounds are coming from the TV/Stereo with
the Hitachi than the acoustimass.

My dogs will bark when the Hitachi has dogs barking or a doorbell
ringing on the broadcast. Not so with the bose speakers.

The old acoustimass came with a center "speaker".

I'm debating on what to do when we build a new home this
winter..........

Bose Sys 5/7 combo often fools me. I reach for the phone sometimes when
the ringer is similar to mine, car door slams sound like someone is
coming to the front door, sirens sometimes sound like they are in the
neighborhood. this is mostly when the effects are coming thru the Sys 5
speakers, rear channel.

....when that's the only good thing you can say about a speaker that says a
lot about Bose.

"But they sound much better than the $.29 1" speakers in your TV"

True, but that's about it.

True, but that's about it.

If only that were true. Most $1000 TVs have at least 3.5" drivers, and
two way systems aren't all that unusual.

Anybody who pays more than ten bucks for a center speaker in a plastic
case with 2.5" drivers -- like the bose VC-10 -- should have their
head examined.
