They fit in your hand. They do not sound small. They sound big. The systems are not complex. They are simple. They do not require stacks of components. They have an elegant media center with DVD/CD player and AM/FM. They do not take hours to set up. They take minutes. And they do not limit sound to one room. They provide multi-room capability simply by adding powered speakers. Different. Better.The Lifestyle 18 system is equally impressive for what you get as for what you don't. The Acoustimass module, invented by Bose, is better than ever. Intelligent technologies inside mean you turn the system on, pop some popcorn, and enjoy.

But Bose systems are engineered from inception to work as a whole, where every part is made to perform in harmony wi... Less
