Listen to the 701 Direct/Reflecting speaker system and hear the result of more than 30 years of advanced technologies and unique innovations. Bose Direct/Reflecting speaker technology helps re-create an acoustic performance that approaches the sound of a live music event in your living room. You experience a natural balance of reflected and direct sound, much like you would in a concert hall, where the majority of the sound is reflected all around you by the walls, ceiling and floor.
