3-2-1 boomboomboom

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you want quality, simplicity, aesthetics, and don't mind spending some cash, you'll get what you pay for.
Review: Update: The Bose is fairing well, there is a new TV for it to work with. I find it frustrating that Bose remotes aren't compatible with domestic brands, or any brand for that matter. That would save the remote clutter on ye old coffee table.

Excellent sound, but no surround

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: This system will not really "surround" you, but it delivers big 2.1 movie-theater sound from small speakers, with minimum set-up hassle. Must have money to burn.
Review: Update (12/19/06)
I'm happy to report that after continuing to play around with speaker placement and making a couple of other changes, I am getting better performance from this system than I originally reported (see below). (1) I've found that...

3-2-1 experience less than perfect

Date of Review:  Oct 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: Cannot recommend unless Bose fixes flaws, and fixes them quickly.
Review: Bought my Bose 3-2-1 less than one month ago. The system is easy to connect and use, but not as simple as the company literature would have you believe. Connected per instruction, TV sound is available ONLY through the BOSE which means you always...

Bose 3-2-1 Upgrade

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2003
Review: I have had s Bose 3-2-1 system for about a year and was very impressed with it, especially when playing DVDs through my big screen TV. I received an upgrade package in the mail yesterday and inserted their upgrade CD per their instructions. However,...

Excellent product for smaller rooms!

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great system for small room application!
Review: After moving in to a house with a smaller living room, my wife and I decided that our component surround sound system was a bit overbearing and were looking for an alternative. The Bose 3-2-1 system seemed too good to be true; surround sound in a...

Bose 321 GS

Date of Review:  Sep 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: Not worth the overpriced hype.
Review: So, after working for several months to upgrade televisions to a new HD format, I walked into the store. There, at the front was the Bose 321 system. The were showing "Days of Thunder" and the sound was awesome on the floor.

BOSEVER

Date of Review:  Jun 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Bose has satisfied my needs and beyond my expectations. I recommend those looking for a home system for a small room, go with the Bose 3-2-1 system.
Review: Ok......I have owned this system for about 3 months and is still AMAZED with how the sound quality is within this 3-2-1 unit. I personally cannot get enough of listening to the Bose 3-2-1 system. But on with the review, first of all, make sure you...

Save your money

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2007
Review: For the high price it should have more hookups, incl HTMI.
Good only for small room. This drops the Bose name.
Better choices available, for less, e.g., Onkyo 790.

Great for home theatre, mediocre for music

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2006
The Bottom Line: A good system if you want great home theatre in a small package and are willing to accept mediocre music playback and many annoyances.
Review: Very nice system for home theatre IF you want a small system and music quality is secondary to home theatre quality.

We bought both this system and the Denon S-301. The Denon S-301 was better musically, had better features, and had a...

Note that Bose has a new version out

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2006
Review: Wow, no reviews in over a year.

Just a note that Bose came out with a new model, so check carefully which one you are buying.

We heard the Bose 321 (at Sam's Club, of all places), and was underwhelmed. It had good impact for...
