Excellent Sound...with some limitations

bylovehifi Nov 30, 2008
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very simple.  3 HDMI inputs.  1 HDMI output. Very smooth clean sound. Not expensive.
Cons 3.1 design.  Cannot perform as well as true surround sound with separate speakers.
Recommended it? Yes

I did a great deal of research prior to buying the Sony HT-CT100 Sound Bar system.  I read so much misinformation that I very nearly decided against making this purchase.

I am going to furnish a very detailed review of this product, as I feel there is much clarification to be made. ... Read full review »

Pros Relatively inexpensive for this type of home theater system. Truly excellent sound.
Cons Another remote, and losing the TV speakers. Maybe - see update
Recommended it? Yes

Having recently purchased a new big screen TV, I found the sound lacking that mid and lower end punch needed for realistic viewing experiences. I feel that sound is at least 40 percent of the total package when watching TV or movies. I also wanted equipment that was reasonably priced, well made and... Read full review »

Pros Outstanding Sound, Progressive Scan, IR Remote, Slick Design, uMusic, Small Speakers,...
Cons Hard Drive Glitches, Lack of Mid-range Sound, Can't Play Dual-Disc Audio Cds
Recommended it? No

I have had this system for about 7 months now, so hopefully I have experienced all I can and offer you my full personal opinion about the Bose Lifestyle 38.

As a result, I am quite satisfied with the system overall. Too bad it isn't close to perfect, considering the amount of investment... Read full review »

Lifestyle Bose 38

bydrgeri Apr 11, 2006
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The versatility of the system is the biggest asset. The technical support is outstanding.
Cons The biggest downfall has been the inability to load MP3 tracks. I HATE THIS!
Recommended it? Yes

We work from home and were listening to music through our NuTone intercom system. Although we could connect CD players and MP3 players to the NuTone system, it was only a monotone unit. After meeting with several vendors about the retrofit of a whole house stereo system, we elected to purchase the... Read full review »
