You've just bought a new state-of-the-art computer loaded with features: 500 GB hard drive, 3 GB memory, 24-inch widescreen hi-def monitor, super-fast graphics card for killer visuals.
What's missing from this picture? The sound that comes with it.
You want speakers that measure up in performance, yet are small enough to preserve valuable desk space. Good news: Upgraded speakers can definitely optimize your computer's audio—and with options tailored to your entertainment preferences.
One path to better sound and space is a three-piece speaker system, including a bass module that usually sits under your desk, and produces deep low notes and effects—sound you can feel. By handling these lower frequencies, the module allows for small desktop speakers. It's a win-win: Full-range sound that respects your space.
If you enjoy games or movies on your computer, consider speakers capable of decoding the 5.1 surround sound found in DVDs and video games. This traditionally requires five speakers—two behind you—making space an even bigger concern.
 Proprietary Bose® technology in the Companion® 5 speaker system addresses the problem. It "listens" to the 5-channel information coming in and works with specially designed speakers to create an impression of sound coming from areas where speakers don't even exist.
This widens the soundstage, putting you in the middle of a dramatic acoustic environment—with just two desktop speakers and a compact Acoustimass® module.
On-the-go laptop users crave better sound, but prefer a space-saving two-piece speaker system. Solving this performance-to-size equation gets tougher: How do two small computer speakers alone deliver convincing low notes and effects?
 The Computer MusicMonitor® meets this challenge using two opposing passive radiators (speaker cones with no magnet or voice coil) and one active driver in each speaker. By working with the main driver the passive radiators vibrate, helping to generate deep notes from a very small speaker.
The Computer MusicMonitor also uses high-performance transducers with small-but-powerful neodymium iron-boron magnets, highly efficient amplifier technology and Bose digital signal processing to help deliver sound well beyond speaker size.
 As computers get faster and more powerful, the entertainment content they deliver also grows more spectacular. It pays to remember that the right technologies allow even small speakers to deliver the audio that enhances your movies, music and games.
