"Extremely Happy"
Pros: Excellent sound, ease of use (once setup and configured), compact size
Cons: Rather pricy normally, but I found a deal for almost 50% off from a dealer who was liquidating their Bose stock. The setup and configuration time for this unit was rather excessive.
Summary: This system is really not for everyone, but for me it fit my needs perfectly. I was looking to replace a large component system, which included some rather large speakers. The Lifestyle system is so compact and allows me to store many of my favorite CDs on its internal hard disk. It is so nice not having to change CDs all the time and it learns which ones you enjoy the most, which has become a wonderful feature. I tend to use my stereo more while watching movies these days and you can't beat the sound quality of the Bose for that purpose. However compared to my older system, the Bose system is not quite as good for projecting the sound throughout my house. All and all, I am quite satisfied. As I indicated earlier, this system is not for everyone. In my opinion its better suited for people who plan to use it more for movies or those who have smaller dwellings. Just my opinion.
