161™ speaker system

A versatile option for both music and movie listening, these small bookshelf stereo speakers provide balanced stereo sound in an elegant design. They work with both your stereo and your home theatre components and blend easily into practically any décor. Available as a pair, they are also included in our 301®/161™ home theatre package and our VCS-30® home theatre package.

Technology drives the performance

Beneath the sleek exterior of each 161™ speaker resides the technology that makes these speakers so versatile. Two proprietary Twiddler™ drivers in each enclosure help the 161™ speaker rival speakers of much larger size. Articulated Array® speaker design positions those drivers to provide a large, consistent sound field so you can enjoy Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance from almost anywhere in the room.

Performance and versatility

In your dorm, office or living room, you’ll enjoy the rich, full musical performance these small book shelf speakers can provide. And they are also an ideal choice for home theatre applications. Connect them to your existing home theatre system and enjoy Bose® sound from your favorite movies.

When you add the 161™ speakers/SA-2 amplifier package to your Lifestyle® system, you can enjoy Bose® quality sound in any room in your house. 

Easy to set up. Simple to use.

With select Lifestyle® systems and the SA-2 amplifier, you can even have music in one room, while the kids enjoy movies in another, at the same time, from the same system. With custom mounting brackets, these elegant bookshelf stereo speakers offer a range of placement options throughout your home or office. And if you already own our 161™ speakers and a Bose® Lifestyle® system, our SA-2 amplifier is very easy to add.

	Stereo Everywhere™ speaker performance produces balanced stereo sound over a wide area. The result of proprietary Bose technologies, these stereo speakers let you enjoy balanced sound throughout the listening area, unlike conventional home audio speakers that radiate sound mostly in a single direction.
	Twiddler™ drivers use proprietary technology to generate more air movement from a small enclosure. They deliver the kind of performance you'd expect from much larger speakers, making it possible to enjoy rich low-frequency sound from smaller speakers.

Home theatre expansion capable for cinema-like sound—and a seamless home theatre design—when you combine this product with the Bose® VCS-10® center channel speaker and any Direct/Reflecting® speaker system.

Magnetically shielded speakers allow for speaker placement in close proximity to your TV without interfering with the picture quality.

Syncom® computer tested to ensure one of the highest levels of quality and reliability in the audio industry.

Custom brackets included for easy installation and flexible placement possibilities.
