What Four Grand Won't Buy You

Pros sounded pretty good in the demo room, which was total blue smoke and mirrors

Cons $4,000???????????? Are these people high?

Recommended it? No

I made a trip to a mall in Tampa, to get a replacement for an iPod whose home button had gone to the great Apple in the sky. While there, it occurred to me to walk into the Bose store and check out its "wave radio." The moment my son and I walked in, we were ushered into a listening room for a... Read full review »

Easy to Use and Good Looking; Bose just Sounds Awful.

Pros The Bose looks nice, and it is easy to operate. It handles dialogue very well.

Cons Sound quality is abysmal, especially considering the price. The system also lacks...

Bose is one of the most recognized names in audio. Bose's advertising is outstanding, but how about their audio systems? I took a trip to my local Bose dealer to put their Flagship, the Bose Lifestyle 48 to the test. It retailed for only $3,999.00. I will say that the sales people were very... Read full review »

Theatre Sound in a Small Package

byimage2i Jun 30, 2009

Pros Jewel Cube Speakers with excellent sound reproduction.

Cons For the Money, Bose should offer the newer HDMI 1.3 connectors.

Recommended it? Yes

I have been waiting for a long while now to purchase a Bose Home Theatre System. My sites were set on a Bose 321 system as I had been looking to simplify the system with a minimal amount of wire connectivity. I visited our local Bose Factory Store in Manchester Vermont and was treated to what can... Read full review »

Pros Sound, setup, multi room capable. Number of HDMI inputs. Remote control.

Cons Expensive. No Blue Ray DVD player.

Recommended it? Yes

I love this system.
You can find systems out there with more sound, but not better at lower volume. The center channel is clear and the surround speakers life-like. The setup was a breeze, and the Adaptiq configured the speakers to deliver the same sound on the couch in front of the tv and in... Read full review »
