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 »

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 »

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 »
