Bose® - Lifestyle® 48 Series IV DVD Home Entertainment System - White

By no means is this the best setup you can get for the price of the unit. That being said, Bose is the best at what they do. The form factor is small, everything is integrated, comes with a RF remote that can program to most IR devices. This unit is great for the average customer who is more focused on small form factor and ease of use without paying someone to set-up or calibrate components. The unit doesn't have the greatest ability for expansion, minimal digital inputs, but will suffice for a Hi-Def dvd player, sat box, and maybe one gaming system. The universal remote will never give you full functionality on third party components. Low frequency reproduction is not by today's standards, booming, but it does give descent, clean, natural reproduction. Again, not the best for the price, but if you dont want floor standing speakers, or the wife wants something that will hide away easy on the ceiling, walls or bookshelves, bose will tuck away nicely. My recommendation for a friend is on the terms that they are looking for what bose offers: small, easy to set-up, integrated, semi-intelligent music selection, cosmetically appealing. I have this in my bedroom where space is limited and additional items are limited. For the dollar, I would buy vienna acoustic grands and a good receiver with HDMI upconversion for a main room setup, in fact, I did do that. Martin Logan Abyss kills the bose sub. *Sound quality star is based on a size to sound quality ratio.

As stated above I always wanted a Bose System, they are the best! A little pricey, but if you like your home theater systems and use them often, it is more than worth the price. I also purchased the room link, and what a fantastic devise this is! I can listen to my pre-stored CDs, my AM/FM music, (I have direct TV and can choose to listen to XM radio) on my deck, while my kids are watching a DVD or TV show using the same source, and, I can check in on what they are watching/listening to from the deck through this devise! Awesome technology from Bose!

BY FAR A VERY ADVANCED SYSTEM, BUT YOU PAY FOR IT! THE REAR SPEAKERS NEED SOME AMPLIFICATION TO MATCH THE SOUND OF THE FRONT AND CENTER SPEAKERS. THE BASS LEVEL WHILE PLAYING MUSIC IS LOW UNLESS THE VOLUME IS AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL. THE MUSIC STORAGE AND ORGANIZATION ABILITY OF THE SYSTEM IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. COMPATABILITY WITH THE BOSE LINK SYSTEM MAKES MULIT ROOM/OUTDOOR SOUND OPTIONS ENDLESS.

This has to be the best Home Theather System purchased. And I must say I had an excellent experience setting up with Bose tech support and walked me thru the entire setup. After my phone call with them I was up and running in no time. I would definately recommend getting this product

This is the type unit I had wanted all my life and just able to actually do. I would do it again and not have waited so long! It is worth the price for the sound quality you get and the ability to store cd's and retrieve any time. The unit will learn your favorites and we have also added the Boselink to other rooms. You can retrieve your music anytime from songs stored in library.

This bose system or any other bose is way over priced for a consumer audio system. You can get Pro Systems for this price that will blow this system away and last alot longer and on a much higher level. Bose should drop the prices for these systems. You do not see a Bose system in a recording studio and for this price that Bose advertises you can get a super good recording studio quality speakers for this price and will sound great for home theater.

Very good home theater system, easy to install, ADAPTiQ is real good feature. We can’t store MP3 songs in it, that is bad part. Other than that this is the best.

Finally was in a financial situation to be able to afford a Bose, and have been simply amazed. Nothing that I can say about this product would do its justice. Simply the absolute best product on the market. Completely revamped our home theatre experience.
