bose product be usually expensive and some people argue that they can get a better system at maybe half the price . now it depend on various parameter on what they evaluation be base on . for I , any music system be good which give you the utmost pleasure in listen . this bose product come with 5 pair of Jewel cube speaker which be a little different then the regular speaker taht bose offer with they speaker system . they give you more clarity of sound - you can almost hear the finger strum on the guitar string , the breathing of a singer and complete surround sound where it be available . you can easily find the difference when you play the bose and another music system side by side and listen to the same music piece . the set up be extremely simple . so if you hate tangle with wire and push in knob and button for that perfect sound , then this system be for you . but if you be into graphic equalizer , and be addict to lot of port and want a receiver which will be the control center of you home Theatre then this be not the system for you . the bose system do allow you to connect you tv , dvd player and VCR through the system but that be about it . you will not find any additional port in the system . so for that price , I think you will not regret anything about this system - the most impressive of all be the size of the speaker and the range of sound that emit from they . I be sure you be gonna love they .
