I recently did some computer work for a business and was given their old Bose 301 Series III speakers. At first I didnt think much of them, as they were rather small.
When I got home and hooked them up to the reciver they absolutly rocked my socks off! OMMFG! I felt like I was at a club! Such clean and full bass and excellent sound quality!
My warning is this... Do not listen to Bose Speakers unless you plan to own some. IT WILL SPOIL YOU!
From what I understand the model that I have are somewhat low grade compared to their 900 series, but damn these 301's are nothing short of AMAZING!
If anyone is speaker shopping I strongly urge you to check out the Bose line. I'm not sure what they cost new, but from what I have seen from a used pair that are almost 8-10 years old you cant go wrong.
