And after a two-way system, or a three-way with a sub, a single is going to be mid-rangy.Īnother thing that I really like is having Bose's desktop rotary dial volume control on my desk. It's not that either sound *bad* 's just to get to hear the mix from a single speaker perspective. Also.I think the IIs sounded better than the old Auratones that we all used to have. Like you, the IIs didn't impress me so much for the studio, but sound fine on Julie's laptop, and there aren't so many wires to get in the way. I went with lower price/smaller footprint for my use at work. But Kyles recommendation for either the 3 or 5 was enough for me. Like you say, at the demo, the music was not the same, so it was hard to tell, but I vaguely remember thinking that you get what you pay for. Glad this got you thinking.yes, I listened to the 5 a while back, Circuit City had a comparison display with all three sets. Kind of like the stage setup for the band. I'm sure the Mackies will hang around for when I want the studio to look real,īut in the meantime, the Companions are doing a fine job, and my desktop looks so clean now. So the Mackies are in the closet, and my studio has shrunken yet again. The mix sounded as accurate in the car as it did in the house. They sound great and worked very well for a session over the weekend. What you'd expected of an inexpensive single full-range speaker.īut.I also had a set of Bose Companion IIIs that Kyle-at-Bose recommended to me, here at work. They didn't really impress me too much, compared to my Mackie MR824s, the bass was kind of hollow to my ears. Not designed for studio monitoring.too *colored*.īut I also figured, I like Bose stuff, and that as a set of *alternates*, like the old Auratone Cubes, they might be useful.so I bought a set.
