Our verdict

A tidy way to get full surround from small speakers in a living room that already has an AV receiver. It needs that receiver to work, and the listing gives no wireless connection.

Overview

Connecting to a home theater receiver, this Bose system spreads surround sound from four small cube arrays and a low center speaker while a hidden powered module handles the bass. Long speaker cables come in the box, so rear cubes can reach the back of a room.

Small cubes and a hideable bass module bring a full surround setup into a room without large speakers on show. It is a passive speaker package, so a receiver must supply the channels and power for the satellites.

Who it's for

Home theater owners who want small speakers and a hidden bass module around a flat TV. People who want plug in simplicity with no receiver should choose a sound bar.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Small cube speakers blend in
  • Bass module hides out of sight
  • Long rear speaker cables included
  • Low horizontal center for flat TVs
Cons
  • Requires a separate AV receiver
  • No wireless connection listed
  • Speaker stands not included

Performance notes

Bass comes from the powered module's downward firing drivers, so placing it near a wall or corner changes how much low end you hear. The cube arrays reflect some sound off walls to widen the stage, which suits rooms with nearby side and rear walls.
