Bose 3-2-1 GS Series II DVD system Reviews & Tests

Bose 3-2-1 GS Series II DVD system review:

The Bose 3-2-1 Series II DVD home-entertainment system is an updated version of the company's older 3-2-1 system. Like its predecessor, the 3-2-1 Series II uses signal processing to give the impression of surround sound from just two small satellites...

Compact system has integrated progressive-scan DVD player, AM/FM tuner, two satellite speakers, and subwoofer; delivers simulated surround-sound effects without rear speakers; easy to set up and use.

Expensive; no HDMI output; only one A/V input; proprietary cables limit speaker-placement options; lackluster sound with music.

The Bose 3-2-1 Series II DVD system does a surprisingly good surround-sound imitation with just two satellites, but it's overpriced.

"Lousy sound, over-hyped product"

The set up was easy.

Muffled bass, poor highs, not what you would expect from a product of this cost.

Consumer review (cnet.com)

"Perfect for smaller rooms! Blows most other 5.1 systems"

Sound bounces off walls and creats a 5.1 speaker experience! I had a 7.2 system and this honestly sounds better using no space at all. just wish it read blu-ray and had more hdmi slots.

Quality sound, great looking speakers, easy to install.

Stupid price tag, ugly home centre, not blu-ray ready.
