    This is a product that every person that enjoys full, dynamic surround sound with amazing bass and crisp trebles and voice clarity MUST have. This is a product that Best Buy should have on showroom floors for demo for their customers. They would truly sell this home theater system like no other.

    System works great. Excellent sound. Remote works all your hook ups/devices. Except it did not allow me to use my cable remote to control the volume on the cinemate. Bose customer service is extremely helpful. It's worth the money if your in the market to spend that.

    Overall sound is great but the speaker wire is fixed on the ends and can't be extended unless you cut the wire before the fixed end and then attach more wire then hook up the fixed connector bose only provides 50' of wire for rear speakers

    The sound system is excellent! I'd recommend this to everyone and if you have any issues or questions Best Buy and Bose are the sources you want to go to.

    The product was not compatible with my 3D TV and Blu-ray player for a complete set up. For the system it did not have all the capabilities of the home theater system I was replacing and was unable to completely set it up with all of my previous functions. The sound was not that much better than my old system and at that price I expected better.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
