Bose CineMate

Description: The Bose Cinemate is a two speaker, compact surround sound system.Compared to other compact speaker systems on the market, it is midpriced at around $500.

Pros: Has an active amplification type, which is considerably more favorable than some similarly priced speaker systems.Selecting a speaker system (rather than mixing and matching components) takes the guesswork out of making sure you have voice-matched speakers.Matched speakers in a home theater system will result in a more seamless, convincing, and immersive sound experience.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Suited for smaller rooms.

Value: Overall, this speaker system's features are in line with its price.
