bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 10, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 10, 2005 Do NOT bump your own thread. I will close it if you do so again. As for Sony systems, you never want to get Sony sound. They make speakers that look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodcase Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 My dad has the series GS dvd one. It does produce a somewhat surround sound fell but you cant actualy beat having 7 speakrs. The base station thing does have limited inputs. But it is enough for the avarge user. The Bose Acoustimas sub pounds like hell when music or a movie is playing. All in all id give it an 8 out of 10 because of the lack of surround sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quigley0 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 My friend has the Bose 3.2.1 Gemstone series II. It is really good, but, keep in mind that it is only simulated surround sound. It has a fully integrated DVD player that can play CD's and also offers .mp3 support. Base is rich, but not as nice as higher end systems. If you want true surround sound, look elsewhere. But, if you want nice speakers, and a built in DVD player, this isn't bad. The Denon S-301 is supposed to be a comparable unit to the 3.2.1 Denon 301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptain chump Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 that's highway robbery for a pseudo surround sound system. I know bose can usually get away with it because they have superior products, but in this case, even a BO BO surround sound system would probably bring the home theater experience home before that crap would.

gaekwad2 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 They can get away with it because they have superior marketing. For $1000, the Bose 3-2-1 can not be described as anything less than a crime against sound reproduction. http://www.intellexual.net/bose.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs more than the Bose and sounds half as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luisc Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Well I want a good all-in the box hometheater for 800-1500 bucks? Should I get the bose 3-2-1 or the Sony or another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends don't let friends buy Bose. 586653354[/snapback] Boy Our Sh**'s Expensive They do sound good, but the price point is always a nail in the coffin.

Tiger.Girl Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 bose sucks :x onkyo has some of the better home theaters in a box available but for that kind of money you could do alot better by going out an buying a reciver (such as the Pioneer VSX-1015TX) some decent speakers (paradigm, axiom, JBL, audition lots!) a cheap dvd player and a svs sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourDieseL NYC Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Their receivers are ok, but Istill prefer other brands. 586701009[/snapback] i was looking at onkyo prior to purchasing the sony. i was impressed with the sound but again (like my tv) it was a deal I couldn't pass up. STR-DE998 retails at like 400-500, I got it for 200. That's a steal! I wanted the TX-SR803 (comparing watts x channels) and mixed in price, yes Onkyo would deliver a more superb sound, but not for 800+, just wasn't fitting my budget. Sony's 998 offered 110x7 at $200 out of pocket. I simply can't pass up deals like this - of course it's not a public deal which i can recommend everyone to go to (a hookup more like it - same with the Bravia 40" XBR1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
