5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased with the new 3-2-1 Series II system, August 19, 2004

By	R. Bright "New Bose fan" (Hilliard, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bose claims that this system, with only two speakers and a subwoofer (Acoustimass module in Bose-speak), approaches the sound of a conventional 5 speaker system. This was evident the first night we listened to it. I had not yet taken down the rear speakers of my old surround-sound system, and my step-son commented that the sound of the movie was great coming from the rear speakers. They were no longer hooked-up! It's not a perfect surround-sound experience, but for two speakers and a subwoofer it's amazingly close. And the clarity! From old movies to newly recorded music, the detail if fantastic. The Acoustimass module delivers outstanding performance. The ease of setup was inline with Apple standards -- very simple directions, and the setup CD was a bonus. It's difficult to believe that three speakers and a media center replaced 6 speakers, a DVD player, a receiver, many and lengthy wires, with the end-result being a far more satisfying experience. Oh! The universal remote actually works for all my devices! I suppose I have to list a "con", so I'll say that $1000.00 for a home theater system is pricy, and should indeed provide a lot of bang for the buck. Yet the 3-2-1 Series II delivers on these expectations. I highly recommend this home theater system.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the bang?, January 27, 2005

By	C. Hicks "Rib" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ended up getting the Bose system the same day I spent $2500 on a new HDTV, with the idea that I would have the best sound and look avaliable...In the store the system sounded great! The demo was playing Lord of the Rings...but when I got home, listening to regular movies or tv there is no surround sound about it...The pros are the size and looks. I like the fact that my living room doesn't have a large shelf system or 5 or 6 speakers arranged all over the place. The sound quality is very nice, I like the radio feature and the remote. The progressive DVD player has a quality picture...but the sound didn't "wow" me when I got it home. For the money, I need "wow"...The con is the price, I think there is a lot more out there that you could get and still have some money in your pocket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clarity of sound is amazing, June 14, 2006

By	Keith Jones (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I submitted an image above. The Bose 3-2-1 delivers realistic sound which makes watching any show or movie a much better experience. We always were satisfied with our mediocre HD TV speakers. But this Bose 3-2-1 system delivers such clear sound effects, music and speech that I couldn't believe what we had been missing. Because of this great sound improvement we started watching action movies, concerts and other programs that we'd never seen. The Acoustimass® module vibrates our wood floor and the two speakers create amazing sound clarity. Even faint sound effects are easily picked up with these speakers. This system doesn't knock your walls down with the thuds and exaggerated sound effects that some Home Theater systems use. Instead, because the Bose sound is so real, sometimes people think that the speaker noise is coming from outside our house .
