BOSE 301 SERIES IV DIRECT REFLECTING BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS
You are bidding on a MATCHED PAIR OF TWO BOSE 301 SERIES IV DIRECT REFLECTING BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS
This system is sonically perfect and sounds fabulous!
The cabinets are in good condition. One grill has some damage and barely stays in place, but it will. One of the tweeter dust caps is pushed in. This has no effect on performance. All drivers and speaker surrounds are in excellent condition.
These 301's perform wonderfully, faithfully reproducing classical, pop, rock, and country music on LP, tape, and CD. They have provided with me great movie sound from my VHS HI-FI, laserdisc, and DVD players.
These Quality, BOSE 301 SERIES IV DIRECT REFLECTING BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS have never had the power put to them they deserve and will make a great addition to anyone's select Home or Business Audio System for many years to come!
Bose® 301® Direct/Reflecting® stereo speakers convey the power of a live performance, yet are small enough to fit comfortably on a bookshelf or in an entertainment center. These versatile, elegant speakers bring lifelike, spacious sound to music and movies and are an excellent way to bring Bose sound to your stereo or home theater components. In a live performance, music takes many different paths to reach your ears and touch your emotions, including a blend of direct and reflected sound. Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology recreates this combination of direct and reflecting sound to deliver music that sounds spacious and more like a live performance.
Conventional speaker design focuses sound directly at the listener, somewhat like a flashlight beam. That means stereo effects are most prominent in one “sweet spot,” delivering unbalanced sound to the rest of the room. Bose 301 IV speakers produce Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance, so you and your friends and family can sit where you like and enjoy balanced stereo sound from almost anywhere in the room, not just in one small "sweet spot." Precisely angled, 2½-inch proprietary drivers deliver balanced stereo sound throughout the listening area. Experience lifelike spaciousness wherever you sit.
Bose 301 IV bookshelf speakers provide outstanding sound while fitting beautifully into your living space. Their slender and graceful lines will compliment your décor.
Spacious sound for music and movies:
301 IV speakers are a suitable choice when you’re ready to experience Bose sound in your movies as well as your music. Connect these versatile speakers to your surround sound receiver and enjoy the benefits of Bose sound in almost everything you watch.
Home theater expansion capable: Experience exciting, cinema-like sound—and a seamless home theater design —when you combine this product with a center channel speaker and surround speakers. Add a subwoofer for truly breathtaking cinema sound and musical performances!
If you know BOSE you know Quality. Known as part of an established and undisputed audio dynasty, these 301 Series IV Speakers are known to audiophiles around the world as some of the greatest speakers of all time!
Over the years, the one criticism I have heard regarding the Bose speakers is that they don't produce bass as well as some other high-end audiophile speakers do. That may in fact be true, but I would counter that they do re-create real bass quite accurately. If you have ever listened to live, unamplified music you'll more than likely agree that bass can be overemphasized in some of today's home systems. The Bose 301 provides a more accurate portrayal of the concert experience.
That is in fact some of the true beauty of these speakers. Direct Reflection technology places drivers in the rear, where they bounce sound off the walls to pleasantly assault you from all angles. One driver in the front provides direct sound. They can be used with just about any receiver or amplifier on the market, and sound fantastic even with lower powered units.
With the 301's I have been able to sit on my couch, close my eyes, and be pleasingly assaulted by sound from all angles. This is truly surround sound. You really can't tell where the speakers are.
****Fill your house with sound with these direct reflecting loudspeakers****
These speakers were $370 when new in 1999. Here's your chance to get that kind of BOSE quality for much less. They'll be music to your ears!

You will receive your item quickly, well packaged and as advertised.
I do not always offer the lowest prices, but they are always very good. Before you bid on the item with the lowest price, ask if the seller guarantees the item, has it been tested and checked by a qualified technician and does he offer expert packing? How long he has been selling fine audio equipment and does he know what he is talking about? Check his feedback! I always offer fair Buy-It- Now prices, a money-back guarantee, expert packing, 25 years in the hi-fi business and over 3500 positive feedbacks!
Most of my equipment comes from Colorado where we enjoy a semi-arid (DRY) climate. This is important as humidity is one of the main deteriorating factors in audio equipment, especially speakers. Humidity attacks and accelerates deterioration of electronic circuitry and the flexible surrounds in speakers.
Lots of Detailed Photos - What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get! My ads show ACTUAL PHOTOS of the exact item for sale. With few exceptions, I do not use stock or file photos, copies, etc. as shown in many other ads
Testing - Audio/video equipment is tested for all basic functions and many secondary functions but we cannot always test every feature and setting. Amps, receivers & speakers are connected & tested for FM tuning & playback from a CD, tape, DVD, phono, etc. CD, DVD & tape players/recorders are cleaned internally & externally (heads and lenses are cleaned and demagnetized) and tested for playback, record, FF & REW. Any defects found are noted in the ad.
I record serial numbers of all items sold, and also put a seal on the back of the unit at the juncture of the cover and the case. If this seal has been broken or tampered with, all warranty will be considered void.
EXTENDED WARRANTY AVAILABLE - Protect your investment. 2-year warranties are available on Used and Refurbished Items. Click link for details: SquareTrade | Great Warrantys
