got these home and experienced MAJOR distortion... after an hour of guessing i found out they wired one of the cubes wrong inside... the polarity was reversed. After fixing that whole deal, i'd say listening to them reveals pretty decent mids and highs but the bass is iffy. Sometimes it sounds just fine and sometimes it likes to be boomy. Overall the bass just doesnt cut it for me. It's decent but the measly 6.5' woofer just isn't enough to produce deep, satisfying bass. I dont listen to earth shattering bass but i like to know it's there... I'm pretty disappointed that the polarity is mixed... definitely not impressed for a product that is $200 (LOTS MORE when it first came out) but i guess that's the reputation i hear about bose products these days. Lots of marketing hype and poor quality. It sounds okay but by no means is it a "high end" audio item. I used to love BOSE products and wondered why everyone hated them... i see why now. I didnt get a chance to look at the drivers but people say they're made of paper cone... i wouldn't doubt it! Sorry bose, it didn't do it for me this time.. good thing this is for my aunt and not me, i just bought it for her and tested it out
edit*
actually after more testing, i concluded that there is not a polarity problem.. the speaker itself is indeed defective... very dissapointingGet more detail about Acoustimass 3 Series IV speaker system - Black.
