RE: Bose 2.1 Lifestyle® 235 home entertainment system

I have heard the system. Like most anything I've heard from Bose along these lines it's only capable of playing what is on the surface of a recording. There will be no depth at all, no serious resolution and plenty of smearing of detail.

I can't imagine how someone said (unless it was a joke) that such a system sounded better than his Vandersteens.

Even if you're putting together a compact system both Focal and Orb offer systems of the same nature which VASTLY outperform the Bose. With Bose most of your money is paying for the ads.

Now, with all of that I certainly do understand the appeal of these lower-mid-fi systems, especially to older folks who just want something to "work" with a minimum of fuss. My in-laws bought such a system. It sounds awful, but they love it.

Cheers,
