What's great about it:?Brand Name What's not so great:?Quality of the sound "Over the weekend I spent some time in BB testing outdoor speakers ( each brand set up on the wall next to each other and hooked to the same Yamaha amplifier/CD). Being a former musician, my ear is very sensitive to the sound quality and I was really astonished to hear Insignia speakers for $78 blowing away Bose and Klipsh for $300 range. Don't get fooled with marketing hype, they sounded way worse. from Bestbuy.com I had the Bose 151's and loved them but wanted more OOmph. I got the coverage and great sound quality I have come to expect from Bose. from Abt.com I agree with Dave in Jacksonville - the mid and upper frequency ranges are nice, but the bass response is just OK to nearly nonexistent on some songs. Listening to the 251's a few times after installing them, I started looking for an "outdoor rated" subwoofer to bring some bottom back to the music. The installation was quite simple and straight forward. from Crutchfield.com I had a pair of Boston Acoustic speakers in my yard, then I replaced them with the Bose 251's. The Bose 251's sounded 10 times better than my Boston Acoustic speakers. from Vanns.com I recently purchased a pair of black Bose 251 outdoor speakers from VANNS and installed them the Friday prior to the Memorial Day weekend as we were having guests on Sat and Sun. First things first. from Vanns.com These speakers are real easy to install, they sound like all Bose speakers sound, WONDERFUL. If you are thinking about buying these and you haven't yet, BUY THEM. from Crutchfield.com These speakers use 6 ohms And thats makes amps run hot.. They rattle, they dont have any mid range as all bose. I am a personal assitant for a family... from Crutchfield.com Maybe it's just the manufacturer's way of limiting product claims. Not sure. However, the Bose speakers sound great, and are very affordable. from Crutchfield.com I have had the Bose 251 installed by the pool for over two years. The sound is very good and they appear to handle loud volume very well. from Circuitcity.com I had a pair of Bose 101 speakers outside for almost 10 years mounted on the deck, they performed perfectly, unfortunately being outside through Rain, Snow and summer heat took its toll and they were DOA in the spring. I wanted another pair of equally good sounding speakers to replace them and have been a Bose fan for a number of years. from Amazon.com
