This system is GREAT

brackforce from Fayetteville, NC

I've been using an Onkyo 7.1 surround sound system in my condo which was easy to wire up because the place was small and I could run the wires under the carpet next to the walls. Anyway, I moved into a house with an open kitchen that looks out into the living room. I couldn't figure out a good way to run the rear speakers without having wires everywhere so I've been using the fronts and sub for the last few months. I decided that I wanted a much simpler system so I started doing research on the Bose 321. I found nothing but mixed reviews. It seems like everyone either loves or hates the thing, but I figured I would give it a shot so I went out and got one. I'm amazed. I've been a pretty big stereo system guy since high school and have always tried to get the top of the line newest stuff out. It was hard for me to settle for a 2.1 system when there are so many bigger, more powerful options out there. This system allowed me to considerably clean up the wiring behind my entertainment syst … Read more

Great sound

Great sound

Ed from Chicago, IL

Surprising clear sound and strong bass - the chairs in my dining room actually shake when volume is above 60 in my living room. You will not get true sorround sound with the 321 system, it comes close though. I got bored of dealing with difficult 5.1 and 7.1 sorround sound through a receiver - hiding the wires became more and more difficult with two dogs and two kids under 3 yrs old. I am very happy with the sound and performance. Final note - make sure you purchase series III. Series II does not have the ability to connect via HDMI to your TV which will hinder performance.

great sound from tiny speakers

Sutton 1st time momma from Tulsa, OK

We have a very active toddler and wanted to decrease the need for extra wiring - this was a perfect solution. We have a large room and it still fills it with quality sound. Although it doesn't sound like true surround sound, it still sounds great. The sound is so clear and crisp with good base. It is so nice to not have speaker wire running everywhere! Read more

D "D" from AZ, PHX

BOSE ARE THE BEST SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM, I EVER HEARD!THE PRICE MIGHT SEEM OUTRAGOUS FOR SOME PEOPLE BUT, THIS IS MONEY WELL SPENT! I BOUGHT MINES 2 WEEKS AGO AND THIS SAVES ME SO, MUCH SPACE! I USED TO HAVE A YAMAHA 7 SPEAKER SYSTEM AND IT JUST HAS TOO MUCH WIRES AND TOOK TOO MUCH SPACE AND WITH THIS SYSTEM SOUNDS LOUDER AND CLEARER THAN MY OLD SURROUND SYSTEM THAT HAD 7 SPEAKERS! GREAT BUY! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Read more

Would be a 5 if it wasn't for a digital glitch

I laid down the grand for this system because it looks and sounds better than any other system for what I'm looking for (smallest space, clearest and brightest sound). The surround sound effect is not bad (you don't hear sounds behind you, but you hear them left and right of you). There are 2 problems with this system, one minor, one major. The minor one: you can't send DVD sound alone to TV (it goes to Both the TV and the Bose system) which means you can't plug everything into your TV and then audio out from the TV into the Bose. Bose wants everything going through the Bose, not through a TV and then through the Bose. Not a showstopper. The major problem, however, happens when using the digital optic connection (which is the only way to get Dolby surround sound from an external source like your satellite receiver). The digital connection correctly detects and plays the different Dolby formats (and shows you the format on the media center's front display). If you then pause or stop th … Read more
