for who ever says this system has no bass!

I am using a Parasound pre amp with either a Parasound amp or my SMSL SA93 class D amp to impress my non audio educated friends. Plenty of low end from the Acoustimass module. The issue your having is your gear. Also you need to remember the bass module is not a subwoofer. The module provides low bass, and the mid bass the cubes / new version speakers cannot reproduce. If your idea of shaking the walls in your house get a sub and some real power. If you want a good musical experience with a balanced bass response get decent gear and allow the speakers to break in. You will be amazed how well the new V
series sounds. I am an owner of Vienna Acoustics, Bose Concerto 901's, and Monitor Audio silver series, Various Velodyne subs, Bose Lifestyle 5, and the new AM5 version V. My gear consist of Musical Fidelity, Parasound, Cary Audio, SMSL, and Denon.

I have two sets of AM 5 series II I bought over 20 years ago and I have them hooked up to my Oynko System and the sound is out of this world when I put a dvd movie just get your popcorn the sound is like your in a movie theater. I love these speakers. pleanty of bass shakes the house. Also the sound is super clear.I will put these speakers up against any name brand speakers. As for me these speakers are the BEST.

I am very happy with my Bose Acoustimass 5 Series V. I don’t know why some of the other reviews mention no bass because there is definitely bass and I love the look of the cube speakers. Great job Bose.

Good Sound. Okay Base.

I like Bose in general but not a big fan of the "Acoustimass Base" ... When watching a movie and / or listening to music, I like to feel the base, not just hear it. So I found better solution to my disappointing interaction when listening to the base for the first time. DO NOT run the speakers to the back of the (per their set-up suggestion) base. It does not give you as much base sound volume as you would if you ran it directly its own separate amp channel. In other words; My speakers are on channel "A" and my bass on "B". Outside of that I'm happy about my purchase.

Disappointing results...

I have gotten an Acoustimass V system with the jewel cube and these are my honest reviews... The sound honestly, is disappointing... The treble is serverely lacking(It lacks in the 12k Hz region), Mids are sounding a little compressed and the bass was non linear and distorted... In fact, some of the lower mids are played by the subwoofer instead of the jewel cube!... On the positive side however, The bass is extremely powerful and loud... The system would have been better if there were tweeters on the jewel cubes, improved cube speakers quality(play down to 100 Hz and have less distortion), ported subwoofer instead of a band pass and a lower price tag...
