General Description

As in-ceiling speakers, these are excellent devices which can produce high quality sound. The speakers have a diameter of 10’’, and each is 4.66’’ deep. The short depth of the device can easily stick into the ceiling without hassle. Each piece also weighs 4.73 pounds each, so they are very easy to assemble. They also don’t put much weight on the ceiling so you won’t worry about them falling from above.

The package of the device comes with the two speakers, two speaker grilles, and a template or paint shield. The paint shield serves as a protector for the speaker if you want to paint the frame of the speakers in the same color as your ceiling. The perfectly rounded speakers can blend discreetly on the ceiling, and you can create the most beautiful sound out of it. If you’ve got visitors, you can brag about the excellent sound system that you have, and your visitors won’t even know where they are coming from. These speakers save a lot of space and also produce great sound over the entire area of any room.

The only drawback that any buyer would find in this device is that it’s extremely expensive. For the quality, you wouldn’t mind much if it costs as much as it does, but for buyers who are tight with their budgets or who believe that there are devices which don’t cost much but have great performance, then this is not a very suitable model for them.

Audio

This set of Bose ceiling speakers feature several trademark Bose qualities that can only be incorporated in Bose products. The Stereo Everywhere speaker performance feature is designed to produce a balanced stereo sound even over a wide area, unlike other conventional home speakers that only send sound in a single direction. Each speaker has a 7″ woofer in the system which delivers deeper and smoother low notes for a more dramatic sound effect and extreme musical richness. Each speaker also has two strategically positioned tweeters which eliminate the need to position the speakers at an angle where you want to direct the sound. This allows the sound of the speakers to resonate all over the area, and not in a single direction only.

Other Features

This set of speakers is absolutely easy to assemble. The package comes with four clamp screws that perfectly match the speakers to easier fix them on the ceiling. It also has an infinite baffle design which needs no enclosure, since the ceiling itself becomes the enclosure of the speakers. However, the use of these speakers is limited only to drywall, plaster, or gypsum board ceilings. Installing them in drop ceilings is practically impossible, and they also aren’t designed for in-wall construction because they are almost 5’’ deep, which cannot fit in a standard wall depth of 4’’.

Conclusion

This excellent set of Bose ceiling speakers is a perfect addition to your home entertainment system. If you want a set of speakers that can save a lot of home space, excellent music production, and high quality performance, the Virtually Invisible 791 In-Ceiling Speakers are what I highly recommend.

Bose speaker systems are well known for their quality and excellent sound production. There are a lot of these models, but one of them that I would highly recommend is the Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System. This set of speakers is perfect for connecting to any device – computers, TVs, DVD players, and everything in between. This review will cover everything you need to know about it.

General Description

What this set of speakers is best proud of is its compact size that’s excellent in any location. The Acoustimass subwoofer is smaller than most other models, the cube speakers are definitely compact, and each of speakers come in a stand that’s 3.5’’ tall. You can place the speakers on a desk and the subwoofer under a table or in a glass shelf – it’s your choice. This set is very easy to place in any location, and it’s definitely good-looking for any home décor and room setting.

The dimensions of the speakers are 2.5″ x 2.75″ x 2.5″ and their weights are 80 ounces each. The Acoustimass module has the dimensions of 8.5″ x 6.75″ x 13.75″ and it weighs 14.7 pounds. There’s also a control pod which has the dimensions of 2.5″ x 1.13″, and its compactness is almost negligible, you can just place it in any tabletop or desk and it wouldn’t even make a difference.

Every piece of the device is colored a sleek black and the grilles are silver. The dark color makes them look good even with constant weathering, and they also remain in good condition after several years of use. You can match them easily with any home décor and their aesthetically pleasing appearance is a big plus for their value.

Audio

Like most Bose speaker systems, this is a very expensive set of speakers, but you would definitely find its quality worth the price. The speakers are the main source of sound, and they are responsible for producing high frequencies and mid to high range of tones. The Acoustimass, on the other hand, has the entire responsibility over the lower frequencies and notes, making sure that every piece of the set has a special task that it should fulfill in order to create a complete system. The proprietary TrueSpace stereo digital processing circuitry is a trademark Bose feature incorporated in this device to create a wide two-channel sound amplification which is especially designed for maximum listening satisfaction. There’s also an incorporated compression circuitry that keeps the music clear and crisp, undistorted even at high volume levels, for the best sound production you can find.

Other Features

The control pod allows access for volume control, single-touch mute, and also audio in and out jacks for privately listening on earphones or playing from another audio source like an MP3 player. The satellite speakers have a magnetic shield which prevents signal interference to keep the music clear and smooth. The active electronic equalization is responsible for adjusting the low, mid, and high frequencies to keep them balanced, and to make the system produce a more natural and clear tone.

Conclusion

Although there are several Bose speaker systems, the Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System is one of the best models that the company offers. If you’re looking for a great Bose speaker system that you’ll add to your home entertainment system, then this is the speaker set that I would highly recommend.

Everyone wants to have an excellent sound system in their home. If you want to make your home stereo system complete, one of the basic devices you need is a subwoofer. For that matter, a lot of people look for a Bose subwoofer to add to their home entertainment systems, simply because the name is well-known for the quality products it produces. The Bose Acoustimass 5 Speaker System is one of the best subwoofer sets that the company offers, and this review will cover everything you need to know about it.

General Description

There are three items included in this system – a subwoofer and two speakers. The trademark name for a Bose subwoofer is Acoustimass, and these devices have all trademark technologies from the company. There are no other manufacturers who can duplicate these devices because they have patented mechanisms that only the company can produce. The speakers are also trademarks as well, with their Direct/Reflecting technology. The purpose of that technology incorporated into this device is to make the sound bounce from wall to wall or project at a single location, wherever you wish to direct the swivel speakers. This provides you with the best listening experience possible, and from such small speakers.

The compactness of these devices is what they really brag about. Despite their small size, they are able to create excellent sound. The dimensions of the speakers are 6.25″ x 3″ x 4″ and they weigh 2.4 pounds each. They are very easy to assemble because of their light weight, and you can fix them in different locations easily. But these aren’t designed to be transferred, though, because of their long wires and wall mount designs, and you’d have to drill on the wall again if you want to transfer it in a different location. The Acoustimass subwoofer has the dimensions of 14″ x 19″ x 7.5″ and a weight of 18.8 pounds. It’s best placed in a remote area like a corner of a room or in a glass shelf. Wherever you place the Acoustimass, you are guaranteed strong and clear bass production that you won’t find in other devices.

There are two colors of the set which you can choose from – the black and the white. The white set is definitely more eye-catching, and you can blend it perfectly in soft-colored interiors of beige and white. But the black one is more universal, and it also matches your other audiovisual equipment very well. It also prevents the show of aging and abuse, and because of its dark color, it can remain looking good even after several years.

Audio

This speaker system makes use of a lot of Bose trademark technologies for its quality performance. The Acoustimass module is responsible for producing low notes in a very clear and smooth quality, unlike many other basses which have rumbling sounds and statics. You can find no distortion from the music provided by this device. Some people are having problems with their subwoofers, though, and it may or may not be a problem of the device, but a lot of other customers are perfectly happy with the device. Make sure you install the device correctly to optimize its sound quality.

The Direct/Reflecting speaker technology is also another masterpiece of Bose. It makes the sound from the speakers resonate by directing them on walls and letting the sound waves bounce from one place to another. This creates the most theatrical sound experience, and you will really feel like you’re in a movie theater with this kind of sound system.

Other Features

The speakers have magnetic shields on their grilles which serve as signal absorbers to avoid static signals between different audiovisual devices. You can place the speakers beside your TV and you won’t see those lines running up and down the screen because of interference. The automatic protection circuitry feature makes the speaker drivers immune from different forms of interferences, so you won’t have to worry about receiving statics or other signals on your system.

Conclusion

A Bose subwoofer should have the quality expected form it because of its reputable name, and the Bose Acoustimass 5 Speaker System is one of the best examples of these devices that really make good sound. This set is what I highly recommend for individuals who are looking for a great sound system to include in their homes.

General Description

This set of speakers is composed of two main speakers and rubber feet in the package. That’s all you get – no more, no less. This means you have to buy your own speaker wire to connect the set to your component system or home theater set. This can be hassling if you’ve already gone through a lot of trouble buying these things in stores, but if you know what you need, you can just buy it all at once. However, it’s a fact that these speakers are expensive, and buying a separate set of wires would just add to the expense. If you don’t have the means to purchase all these, then this model might not be good for you.

But for its price, this is definitely worth every penny. These Bose 301 speakers make listening to music a wonderful experience, and you certainly would love to have these in your living room, bedroom, or entertainment room. The speakers are very compact in relation to their excellent sound quality, but this is exactly what Bose boasts about in their new speaker models. The speakers have the dimensions of 9.75″ x 14.25″ x 9.75″ and weigh 12.5 pounds each. They may not be that light, but they are certainly small enough to keep in a shelf or on a rack along with your other audiovisual equipment.

These speakers don’t only feature compactness and great sound, but also aesthetic appeal. You can select from two different colors for this set – light cherry and black. Light cherry is mainly wooden in appearance, but the black ones are best for long life and overall good looks. You can certainly mix in these speakers with any other audiovisual equipment you have in your shelves or racks, and they also look good in most home décor. You don’t even have to worry about staining them because of their dark color that stays looking good even after several years of constant abuse.

Audio

Bose has completely made these speakers their property because they have equipped them with all trademark technologies that only the company develops. Included in these are features like the Direct/Reflecting speaker technology which is designed to blend reflected and direct sound to produce the effect of natural spaciousness. There are also the Stereo Targeting tweeters which make use of precisely angled 2″ proprietary drivers that deliver balanced stereo sound, so you can experience a perfect lifelike listening experience even in a large area. The Stereo Everywhere speaker performance is designed to produce balanced stereo sound even in a large area. The goal of these features is to make listening to music much more satisfying by allowing the sound to be equally distributed in a large area, a feat that many other ordinary speakers cannot perform. Each speaker also houses one rear-firing tweeter of 2″ diameter which is incorporated to propel sound from the back and the side of the speaker. The Spatial Dispersion speaker lens, which is another trademark of Bose, creates a smoother high frequency spatial resonance and provides a wider distribution of sound. The long-excursion woofer of 8″ diameter found in each speaker delivers clean, powerful low frequencies and balanced sound throughout any enclosed area.

Other Features

Not only is the device equipped with Bose trademark features for sound quality, but also for overall optimal performance. The flared slot port design is exactly engineered to reduce air turbulence that makes sound smoother and crisper in output. The woofer and port construction are specifically designed to complement each other for you to be able to enjoy cleaner and deeper performance even in the lower frequencies, especially at high volumes. The set is also home theater expansion-capable and you can hook it up with other Bose home theater equipment, or even other brands of stereo systems. The speakers also have automatic protection circuitry which prevents drivers from being overdriven by other audiovisual equipment and provides increased reliability while minimizing interference from other appliances.

Conclusion

The excellent features of these Bose 301 speakers make it a real great deal and an excellent addition to your home audio system. If you’re looking for an excellent pair of speakers that produces high quality sound, has excellent features, and looks good anywhere you put it, I highly recommend the Bose 301-V Stereo Loudspeakers.

This is exactly what these Bose PC speakers have to offer. The compact set of speakers and a subwoofer makes this system a high-end speaker set for computers and not just any set of speakers that you can find in any computer store.

The dimensions of the speakers are 2.5″ x 2.75″ x 2.5″ and they weigh 80 ounces each. The speakers also have their own stands which come with the package so you can steadily set them on your computer table or desk. The stands add a 3.5’’ height to the speakers. The Acoustimass module has the dimensions of 8.5″ x 6.75″ x 13.75″ and it weighs 14.7 pounds. Although it’s heavy, it’s very compact so you can easily keep it under your computer table or on a shelf beside your computer system. There’s also a control pod which has the dimensions of 2.5″ x 1.13″, and it’s very small so it’s not a big consideration when you’re setting up space for the system.

The color of every piece is black or very dark gray, with silver speaker grilles for both satellite speakers and Acoustimass. The control pad is also black and dark gray, and it is connected to the system by a wire. All the wires required for the system to be setup completely is in the package, so you won’t have any problems with the installation. The black color of the system makes it aesthetically appealing, and it also prevents the show of weathering which is a plus to keep the speakers looking good even after several years of use.

Audio

This set of speakers and subwoofer makes the computer sound system not only remarkable, but also worth the expense. The elegant desktop speakers come fully assembled on the speaker stands for optimal performance. They also provide more usable desk space. The compact Acoustimass module is responsible for providing clean low frequencies. This makes the speakers solely responsible for the higher frequencies, and despite their small size, their performance remains perfect. The system also makes use of a trademark Bose feature, the proprietary TrueSpace stereo digital processing circuitry, which creates a wide two-channel soundstage that is engineered specifically for listening at your computer. The compression circuitry that the system is also equipped with keeps your music clear and undistorted even at high volume levels.

There are also dual inputs which let you enjoy two audio sources simultaneously – one to your computer, and the other to a portable audio device.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a good set of Bose PC speakers, this is the perfect model for you. It’s excellent, high performance, and it produces great sound quality. I highly recommend the Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System for everyone out there who’s looking for a fantastic speaker system for their computers.

General Description

This system is a simple set of three items – two speakers and a subwoofer. Bose has its own trademark name for its subwoofers, and that is the Acoustimass. What’s unique about this Bose speaker system is that it has trademark technology incorporated all over. There’s practically no other manufacturer that develops these kinds of speakers and sells them to the world. The subwoofer is Acoustimass which is a trademark of the brand, and the two small speakers are also trademark products from Bose, the Direct/Reflecting cube speakers which are actually a set of two small speakers placed on top of each other, and both can be rotatable to 360 degrees. These swivel speakers allow you to direct the sound that they emit onto different locations such as the wall, a bedroom door, the kitchen, or any other room or area in the house. The technology of these speakers allows them to produce sound that can bounce on walls and enter other rooms without having to move the objects themselves. You just have to direct them to the area where you want the sound to reach and you can experience the best music-listening experience from this speaker system.

As for the appearance, this set boasts of its compactness but excellent sound quality. Many other speaker systems use their size to produce better sound, but Bose wants to prove otherwise, and developed this set of amazingly cite cubes which can create the best surround sound system that you can find. It might be too good to be true, but a lot of people have witnessed the excellent music production of this set of speakers. Another good thing about the appearance of this product is its colors, which you can choose from when you purchase the set. There’s a black set and a white set, and although the white set of speakers can be more attractive and eye-catching, the black set can blend easily with your home décor and household equipment. It also shows less abuse and weathering, so it’s much more preferable to use the black set.

The dimensions of the speakers are 6.25″ x 3″ x 4″ each, and they weigh 2.4 pounds each as well. They are very easy to handle, very easy to assemble, and you won’t have any problems having to fix them again and again in different locations in your house because they’re absolutely portable and compact. The Acoustimass subwoofer has the dimensions of 14″ x 19″ x 7.5″ and a weight of 18.8 pounds. You can just keep this on a shelf or on an isolated area, like beside the door or at the corner of the room. Anyway, no matter where you place it, it will still be able to produce that beautiful, booming bass.

Audio

As a speaker system, this set has a lot of trademark Bose features that can really put the roof on fire. The Acoustimass module is designed to produce remarkable low frequencies and tones, and make the bass stand out without producing static or rumbling noises. There is absolutely no audible distortion that can be heard from the bass. There are some people who complain about the subwoofer having no sound or little sound, and there are also others who blame the power and say that it isn’t enough to completely fuel the device. But this can be corrected by setting up the system properly and adjusting the settings of the audio correctly. Perhaps the problem is not on the subwoofer but on the source of the audio, like the TV or the DVD player. You just have to make sure it’s on properly, and the system will definitely produce good sound.

The Direct/Reflecting speaker technology is also brilliant. It allows you to make the sound resonate by directing the speaker on walls and letting the sound waves bounce all over the house. This provides the most theatrical sound experience, and you really feel like you’re in a movie theater.

Other Features

The speakers have magnetic shields on their surfaces which serve as signal absorbers, so even if you place your speakers beside your TV set, they won’t make the images on the TV turn static. The automatic protection circuitry feature prevents the speaker drivers from being overdriven by other sources of sound or interruptions and provides increased reliability while minimizing interference.

Conclusion

This model definitely sets the standard of a Bose speaker system. Not only is its name great and reputable, the performance of the system is also incredible. It’s certain that Bose can deliver the quality of sound you’ve long been looking for that simply can’t be found from other brands of audio systems. I highly recommend the Bose Acoustimass 5 Speaker System for all the individuals out there who are looking for an awesome speaker set that will fit best with their home theater systems.

General Description

The system is composed of five main items, all of which are included in the overall music-making capabilities of this device. The Ascoustimass is responsible for the bass and low frequency sounds, the two GemStone speaker arrays, an interface module, and a universal remote control. The speakers have the dimensions of 2.5″ x 5.5″ x 4.1″ and a very light weight of 1 pound. The main Acoustimass module measures 14.5″ x 8.8″ x 19.1″ and weighs 23.3 pounds. The interface module has the dimensions 1.1″ x 3.3″ x 2.2″ and it weighs 0.99 pounds. Although the Acoustimass is the only heavy object in the set, the entire system is designed to be fixed. The speakers are mounted on the walls and the Acoustimass is kept in a shelf or hidden in some place where it can’t be subjected to damage. This is the perfect Bose home theater for any small to large home, and it can definitely provide all your audio needs.

Each item is made of a sleek black finish and the coat also adds a complete aesthetic appeal to the set. The black color makes the system perfectly fir for any color and theme of home décor, and it can also last long because of its dark shade. Weathering and other signs of abuse don’t easily show on dark colors.

Audio

Although made of different parts, each part of the system is essential in completing the quality of sound that this device should produce. The speaker arrays serve as the main sources of sound and they are also where all the sounds come from. The Acoustimass is responsible for excellent bass and low-frequency audio production, and without it, the entire effect of this Bose home theater system wouldn’t be completed. The universal remote control not only operates the interface but other appliances as well, so you don’t have to switch remotes when you want to operate the TV or the DVD player. The biggest flaw of the device is that it doesn’t have controls on the modules so you have no other way of operating the device but through a remote.

This model makes use of a Proprietary TrueSpace digital processing circuitry, which is a trademark feature of Bose. This feature is designed to deliver a spacious, multichannel sound experience with strong center amplification without the need of a central device – just two visible speakers and an Acoustimass module. The Acoustimass module together with the small speakers produces a complete range of theater sounds and effects. This system also features a patented design from Bose which is incorporated into the device to produce low frequencies for all channels with no audible distortion, minimizing low rumbles and statics from any sound. The compact speakers make the set a complete high-quality sound-producing home theater system that will provide maximum satisfaction.

Other Features

The interface module has two LED indicators and also two connectors for audio input, and it receives infrared commands from the remote control. It is also connected to your TV directly while showing the status of your speaker system. The easy setup of this system is a guaranteed plus that makes it a good choice over the many other systems in the market that need a lot of cables and installation procedures. The only issue about this device is its controls. You can only manipulate the volume of the device and nothing else. It doesn’t have an equalizer and all you can do is heighten the volume if the sound doesn’t do for you. You can always change the sound settings of the device where you’re connected to, like the TV or the DVD player, and it will apply to the system.

Conclusion

This Bose home theater system is a great addition to your home entertainment set, and it also makes you prouder to have company at home. If you’re looking for an excellent home theater set that will definitely provide all your needs from a surround some system, then the Bose CineMate Digital Home Theater Speaker System is exactly what I recommend.

General Description

These speakers are virtually invisible because you can keep them in your walls and leave not a single trace. The set is comprised of two speakers and two pairs of frames which you can use to cover the speakers on the wall. One pair is rectangular while the other is circular, and both frames have speaker grilles each and a paint shield, so you can paint over the frame of the speakers without having to paint on the inside of the speaker or on the grilles. Each speaker has the dimensions of 13.75″ x 7.88″ x 3.88″. The body of the speakers is kept inside the wall, along with the wires that connect them to your home entertainment system. The frame is flush mount so it still shows especially if you touch the surface of the wall, but besides that and the grilles, nothing else can be seen. These speakers are perfect if you want to conserve space in your living room or entertainment room, or if you want to reduce the appearance of so many gadgets and devices in your household.

Audio

This set of Bose in-wall speakers feature several trademark audio technologies from Bose. First is the Stereo Everywhere speaker performance which is designed to produce balanced stereo sound and distribute it on a wide area, which is comparably better than most ordinary speakers that only send sound to a single direction. And the Articulated Array speaker design features two precisely positioned full-range speaker drivers with a diameter of 2.5″ and are designed to provide consistent, lifelike sound throughout a large listening area.

Other Features

There are more features to this model than just those already mentioned. The proprietary ported enclosure technology is designed to ensure consistent performance despite the space behind wall. It produces a cleaner and deeper low-frequency performance and it ensures that lower frequencies are directed into the appropriate listening area, and not into adjoining rooms. These speakers are also very easy to install, and the package includes the enclosure that balances easily in your wall during placement. This allows you to conveniently use both of your hands to connect the speaker wire and complete the installation even by yourself.

Conclusion

Despite its small size, the Bose Virtually Invisible 191 Speakers are definitely worth the expense because of their excellent quality and high technology make. Although they can be quite expensive, a lot of people have found these devices to be of great value for its price. For individuals out there who wish to have Bose in-wall speakers that don’t just hide in the home décor but also makes great quality sound, I highly recommend this model.

General Description

Bose speaker stands are very few, and this model is one of a kind. It’s the only speaker stand that the company developed for its product line, and other speaker docks are either wall mounted or short in height. If you want to keep your speakers steadily secured in a remote area, like the corner of a room or beside the door, but you don’t want to mount it on the wall because drilling holes isn’t something you want to do, then you definitely have to get this pair of stands. Their exact purpose is to hold the speakers steady and securely in place while giving the listeners the best listening height, which is 38’’, the same height of the speaker stands.

Appearance

The stands are perfectly designed to hold lightweight speakers, exactly what Bose speakers are. The base of the stands are wide enough to keep the device standing perfectly still and straight, but they have a very small footprint that hardly takes space on your living room floor. The design of the stands is also made to hide the wires of the speakers to reduce clutter or eliminate the unsightliness of hanging wires all around the house. The metal shafts of the stands have a hole inside where you hide the wire in, also protecting them from pests, damage, and weathering to keep the speakers fully functional.

The stands are made of metal and they come in three different colors which you can choose from depending on the product you will use it with – black, white, and gray. Although the gray color is very nice and the white color is also unique and stylish, the black one is most preferable because of its universality and any speaker system can fit on a black stand, even those that aren’t Bose. The dark color also reduces the age of the device and makes it look good even under constant abuse and weathering. Black also fits in all home décor and household design.

Compatibility

These speaker stands are compatible with all Bose Lifestyle systems, 3∙2∙1 systems, Acoustimass speaker systems, and CineMate digital home theater speaker system, so you have a lot of choices for these stands. But you also have the choice of getting other brands of speaker systems, or using these stands for other brands of speakers, since they are universal and they can be utilized using any similar product.

Conclusion

Bose speaker stands are rare, and the Bose UFS-20 Universal Floor Stands is probably the only model that you can get from the brand. Nevertheless, these stands can provide everything you need, and its durable and functional make is definitely worth the expense. So if you don’t want to hang your speakers on the wall or you want to keep their wires neatly hidden, these stands are what I recommend you to get.

General Description

Audio

The device is composed of different parts but they all complete a single system which is designed specifically to work as one, so you can’t remove one of the parts and isolate it from the rest of the set. The two Articulated Array speakers serve as the main speakers that serve as the major sound source. On the other hand, the Acoustimass module serves as the low-frequency player that makes bass and percussion come out in an excellent manner. The remote control helps you navigate and operate the device more comfortably so you won’t have to stand up or come near the set to fix it. However, there are no buttons on the devices, and the remote control is the only possible way for you to navigate the device. So don’t lose that remote, and definitely don’t break it.

The Proprietary TrueSpace digital processing circuitry, which is a trademark feature of Bose, is designed to deliver a spacious, multichannel sound experience with strong center amplification from just two visible speakers and an Acoustimass module. The Acoustimass module works together with the small speakers to deliver a complete and detailed range of theater sounds and effects. The patented Bose design of the system produces low frequencies for all channels with no audible distortion, minimizing the statics from playing music. The compact Articulated Array speakers provide thrilling home theater sound without the need for rear or center channel speakers, as seen in most surround sound system with lower quality.

The easy setup of this system makes it a lot more preferable than many other surround sound systems which need a lot of installation and connection all over the house.

Conclusion

I can only say that as compared to other surround sound systems, a Bose surround sound system really has an advantage. And this is exactly what the Bose CineMate Series II Speaker System can give you if you choose to buy it. I recommend this product to all the individuals out there who want to make their homes a perfect pad to live in, with the best sound system to boot.
