BOSE (R) 321 GS Series II DVD Home Entertainment System - Silver Review
September 28th, 2009
BOSE (R) 321 GS Series II DVD Home Entertainment System – Silver Review from Stewart M Cockrell. For what it is, it’s outstanding, After jumping on and then off this system’s band wagon about 40 times in the last month, my wife and I finally decided to get this system. When I decided that I was finally going to break down and get some speakers, cause the ones in my TV were going out, I originally saw this system in a infomercial and fell in love with it, just because of it’s simplicity. After reading the reviews online, I have to admit I was leery about it, since it didn’t really shine to some people. But after visiting a factory store this last weekend in Las Vegas and getting to hear this system, I realized for what it is, it is outstanding.
First of all, if you are wanting full 5.1 or 7.1 system, don’t buy this. If you want to run the wires to get the true surround sound, this system isn’t what you are looking for. Know what you are buying people.
But if you are looking for an adequate solution to better sounding TV, games and DVD’s, then this is the system for you. These little speakers and subwoofer are able to bounce sound off of walls to make you feel like you are surrounded in sound. We have a big living room were this is set up, and it works great. In a 15 X 25 room with vaulted ceilings, it still sounds great. We watch Mission Impossible II as our first full length movie and it delivered like were were at a theater. We then put in the grand daddy of tests for me. Jurassic Park. The T-Rex scene was clear and loud and scary as ever.
Set up was really easy too. Took me about 2 hours, but that was because I was being really careful to keep my cords organized and also being really lazy by not pulling the TV out from the wall. The DVD until runs well with my Direct TV and Xbox. I can’t wait to load up a game and see how the sound is on that. As far as regular TV viewing, we watched the Grammy’s last night, and you could hear the crowd noise like it was around you, not just coming at you.
All in all, this unit is exceptional. For what it is, it is great. True, it isn’t the same as a true surround sound system, but I don’t think it claims to be. We bought this system as a starter, cause when we build a new house we are going to run the speaker wire to do a true system and them move this one to our master bedroom for future use.
We used this with a 10 year old TV too, and it’s like the TV is brand new. We plan on adding a 46 flat screen in the near future, so I can only imagine the experience will get better.
My recommendation, take these reviews (even mine) with a grain of salt. Try to find a factory store where you can go and hear them in person, then come here to buy if you want. They also have great deals on refurbished systems, which carry the same warranty that the new systems do. You can save 300 bucks just to buy one that someone returned because they didn’t like it and get the same warranty.
