Enjoy lifelike, spacious stereo performance from our most affordable bookshelf speakers. These versatile, compact speakers re-create the experience of a live performance from your stereo components. When connected to your home theater components, they can also be used as front or rear channel surround speakers.

Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology for lifelike, spacious music

In a concert hall, listeners hear a mix of direct and reflected sound arriving from different directions and at different times. Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology uses the walls and flat surfaces of your room to deliver performance more like that of a concert hall. Bose® 201 speakers create a listening environment composed of reflected and direct sound, much like that of a live performance. From cutting-edge DVDs to vintage records, you'll enjoy lifelike spaciousness in practically everything you listen to.

Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance lets you enjoy full stereo sound throughout the listening area, no matter where you sit or stand. Instead of concentrating the stereo effects into a single "sweet spot," 201 bookshelf speakers deliver realistic performance almost anywhere in the room.

Trim, stylish 201 speakers are ideal for your den, dorm room or office. Their sleek design makes them welcome in any décor.  Accessory stands and brackets offer a variety of placement options.

Enhanced music and movie performance

201 stereo speakers are among our most versatile speaker options. Used with your stereo components, they provide a rich balance of stereo sound throughout the room. Or connect them to your home theater system, as either a front or rear channel surround sound speaker solution.
