Save yourself a bunch of money, get something that you will enjoy(and be proud owning!). The Boston is one posiblity.
Paradigm cinema series are about the same size, will BLOW AWAY Bose,coupled with a mid reciever(Yamaha or Integra) and you'll be happy for years to come!!
About $700 dollars cheaper than the Bose lifestyle and sounds about 50 to 100% better!
MUCH more flexable.
Most people have a dvd,vcr,cable or sat. Thats way over Bose input selectability.
Add XM, PC etc and you don't stand a chance with bose.
Get a REAL reciever,decient speakers, save $700 or so, add componets at will, and enjoy a 'robust sound' that Bose only talks about!(but can't deliver).
Do I need to say anything else?
I'm not trying to dog you in anyway! I'm trying to route your funds into a direction that will provide you with a liftime of enjoyment instead of '15 minutes' of fame!????
In the end, It's your choice!
I'm just trying to help!
Every day is a good day.......some are just better than others!
