Bose 3-2-1 GSX DVD home entertainment system DVD surround system - radio / DVD

Entered CNET Catalog: 09/29/2005

SKU: 321GSXSIL

Manufacturer: Bose Corp.

Manufacturer description

The Bose 3򈭽 GSX DVD home entertainment system is a complete - and easy - way to enjoy music and movies with less equipment. Two Gemstone speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass module thrill you with theater-like sound approaching that of traditional five-speaker systems. But here's the difference: There are no wires running to the back of your room. And you can cut back on CD clutter by digitally storing up to 200 hours of your favorite music in the versatile media center. An easy-to-use universal remote control provides one-touch access to your stored music and manages most entertainment devices attached to your system.

Wonderful for second or main system

Pros: Wonderful Sound, 5.1 Quality with 2 speakers

Cons: Seems to get confused if it can't read a CD

Review: This system is excellent! Unless you just have to have 5 speakers and some of the other features, there is no reason to buy the Lifestyle. Excellent quality and works great. Bose seems to have overcome some of the bugs that were talked about with the earlier modles. Expensive, but worth it.

I would like like to see an RF/IR remote option.
