Surround Sound Speaker Packages
The Bose Acoustimass Home Entertainment Systems are Bose's line of surround sound speakers. The original Acoustimass speaker set was introduced in 1989, as the Bose Acoustimass 5 Series I. This was a stereo speaker system. It had two direct-reflecting speakers that connected to a passive bass then to the receiver. In 1995 Bose released a surround sound version called the Acoustimass 6 & 10. It wasn't until 2001 that a powered bass module was introduced allowing for true 5.1. The speakers are connected directly to the bass module, which is connected directly to the receiver.

Famous quotes containing the words surround, sound and/or speaker:
“A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it than by the woods and swamps that surround it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we are marching into battle against an enemy.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)
