3.0 out of 5 stars
wonderful sound, but....., October 6, 2011
This review is from: Lifestyle SA-3 amplifier (Electronics)
I have 2 SA3 amplifiers that drive outdoor speakers at a weekend getaway(cabin) property. We have many wonderful memories of unbelievable music in front of an outdoor fire listening to our Bose lifestyle system. In the last 6 years, I have had to replace 2 different units. Thankfully, Bose support is 2nd to none and they will get you a replacement at a refurbished cost of around $70.00 if I remember. Besides the Lifestyle system and the remote amps being a little finicky, my ONLY beef is the connector. It is not a traditional speaker wire connector and if you use thick wire to drive the power, good luck. Unfortunately, you will need a flat eyeglass screwdriver and a set of eyes younger than 50. I will be replacing my second SA3 with Bose support soon. We can't say enough about the sound quality, but sure wish they would be less problematic. If I ever build another house, I would consider using this same system if they would only fix the speaker connectors.
