Bose makes direct/indirect reflecting speakers. I've never cared for their sound myself as they've always sounded muffled to me. My ex-wife had a pair that she had purchased prior to our meeting. The first thing I did was bought a 12 band stereo EQ, and modified the frequency curves pretty heavily. Only after the midrange had been significantly attenuated (lowered) did the muffledness go away. They also needed tweaking in the low end as well as the upper frequencies. Their design has the tweeter facing forwards, while another one is rear firing. Between the crossovers not being optimized to keep the low end separated from the midrange, bouncing sound off of a wall further adds to the lack of definition to the sound. There are no speakers within the Bose line that are even capable of producing imaging on the soundstage at all. For any kind of accurate music reproduction I would not recommend anything in the Bose line at all. Here's a review you might be interested in on the 301's - http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue17/bose301.htm Whether you're looking for home theater or for high end audio, you would be much better off with something from B&W or Tyler Acoustics in a bookshelf design, matched up with a good subwoofer, if you're looking for any degree of realism.

I had some Bose speakers that I liked a lot. I don't remember the model number, but they were definitely the bookshelf type.
