Bose Acoustimass 10 Series IV vs series V

The 4 small speakers are a newer version. They also do not split on the middle like the version IV. You can see this in the product photos. What ever system you get you will be blown away! Best system on the market!

Acoustimass 10 was designed to be powered by a separate amplifier or receiver. The lifestyle comes with it. I suggest that you will be better off with a true AVR first.

I have not listen to Bose (?QC15), but very happy with ANC9.Definitely it's worth the money

I owned the Bose and now own the MAU2s. The Bose blocks out noise and is quieter. The M4U2s provides more in-depth, clearer sound and I could hear more details when listening to everthing.

Indeed, 80 wpc should suffice, although it will be best to have the 901's speaker suspension foam replaced to ensure vivid ambient sound reproduction at low volume output. I did the foam replacement about ten years ago on my 901 IVs, and those are performing admirably.Cheers,KJ BleusMadison, WI USAkjbleus@gmail.com

Mine are about a year and a half old and the speakers are the same. Can't hear any difference between the two but we use them for mainly watching movies on our home theater system. So much to like about them, a perfect combination of great sound and design. They replaced bose 901 III's and am very happy with the switch.

I think the ES series would work well with the studio series, especially when using for surrounds. I am currently using the ES10BK for my surrounds and am very satisfied. The highs are very clear and sound great for home theater use or music.

I have been happy with the bass from the Boston unit given the context of what it is. I have only listened to the soundlink mini from Bose, but not directly compared the two. The bose unit is good but in my opinion the Boston unit is a better value at $150. It does fill the room with sound well and should work great in a 12x 12 room

I have the Acoustimass 3 speakers as well and in my opinion there is no comparing! The Bose 161 are wired into my shop walls. I have 4 speakers that were installed and wired in during building construction. They are average mid-range. The superior sound is with the acoustimass 3 and they are part of my surround sound in my living room. Great sound!

That's why I went with the NAD vs the Bose. The noise guarding on the Bose is great but the NAD just sounded better overall. Much warmer natural sound to my ears.

I don't have experience with the E4Cs, but I use the 315Ks for in ear monitoring with my band. Our drummer has a heavy hand and our bass player has a tendency to crank up his volume. With the sound isolation in the 315Ks, I've had no issues hearing my mix and need to pull them out when we stop to chat.

Comparing the 2 setups? The Acoustimass sounds better Imo... I actually set up the Acoustimass 3 and added these 161's to the rear channel of the amp. Sounds great

The 6 is excellent...so is the 10. I've heard both as well. I think the real magic is happening in the bass module. I think it's the same for both the 6 and 10. If money is not a factor I would let the size of your entertainment space dictate your choice. You won't regret either choice.

I don't own the other set so I couldn't really say that one is better than the other but, these have done just fine for my bose 4.2 bookshelf speakers. I feel like they're plenty sturdy. I suppose it depends on what you plan to mount on them though.

The Radius has nothing on the V-modas... Cnet rated the V's better. The radius sound muffled...Bass isn't everything my man.

I have both (just got these today and have had bose for a while now). Bose sound a little better, were easier to get a good fit. But I really like the Bluetooth / no wire. I'll keep both, use them for different things.
