5.0 out of 5 stars better than bose 3-2-1, December 19, 2007

This is for the HDX 501W.

We bought a Bose 321 and returned it to the store (see my review on it). We then bought this much cheaper system, fully expecting to be disappointed and exchange it for the expensive Bose Lifestyle Systems - the cheapest of which is 3 times the price of the Bravia.

However, we were pleasantly surprised, it has done well. The sound is good. The wireless rear speakers provide good support.

We watched a DVD - and I thought a neighbor had shot off a rocket; one of the speakers was near a window and was playing a rocket being fired!

- it has a 1080p upconvertor DVD player

- rear speakers connect wirelessly

- microphone + player configures speakers to acoustics of room

- front speakers have stands, there is an ipod connector

- hdmi output to connect to hdtv

If there is any con, it is that there is not too much control for the subwoofer. Some tracks have a thump even with dynamic bass turned off; my wife doesnt like not being able to turn it off; we shall read the manual someday to learn how to!

Otherwise, excellent value. I am quite satisfied.

Really a great system. Keep in mind those rear speakers hook to an amp that reqires 110v. I had a little problem finding 110v for these speakers. All together it took me about three hours to get the system hooked up and working. Really a unique way to balance out all of the speakers.

Picture quality is very good - upconverted DVD's have much better picture quality than with nonupconverted DVD's on an analog TV. Volume doesn't go very high - "normal" volume on DVD's is close to Max. Would have preferred faster single disk DVD changer to the slow, noisy multidisc changer provided. Not as many inputs onthe back as I would like. The large number of parts in the box were intimidating, however it went together easily.
