Go with Companion 3
on February 10, 2008
Posted by: joco
Well for the last few years I have owned the pre-cursor to the Companion 3 speakers and LOVED them. So when I got my new computer I figured I would upgrade to the Companion 5 and after listening to them at a Bose store I thought they would be a great upgrade. Boy was I wrong!! Upon listening to them at home I couldnt stand them, they sounded way too processed, sure they had a big soundstage but it all sounded very fake, like turning on a bunch of processed effects. So I returned them and purchased the Companion 3s and they were much better since they dont have the processed soundstage. If you want the processed soundstage just download the SRS WOW. The Companion 5's are not audiophile quality while the 3's are.
