The Bose 3-2-1 Series II DVD system does a surprisingly good surround-sound imitation with just two satellites, but it's overpriced.

    The Good: Compact system has integrated progressive-scan DVD player, AM/FM tuner, two satellite speakers, and subwoofer; delivers simulated surround-sound effects without rear speakers; easy to set up and use.

    The Bad: Expensive; no HDMI output; only one A/V input; proprietary cables limit speaker-placement options; lackluster sound with music.

    The Bottom Line: The Bose 3-2-1 Series II DVD system does a surprisingly good surround-sound imitation with just two satellites, but it's overpriced.

    Review Summary: Sure, anyone can put together a fancy home theater system, but leave it to Bose to create something entirely unique. The Bose 3.2.1 GSX takes the acclaimed 3.2.1 GS series a step further by adding a hard drive that can store up to 200 hours of music....

    Review Summary: Like some remote theological concept, sometimes the more you search for an explanation for something, the harder it becomes to find. Understanding why American audio R and D guru's BOSE have chosen Ted Rogers' famous catch phrase, 3.2.1, for their...

    The Verdict: Another corking system from BOSE. The price is a little off putting, but the quality can't be questioned and this system will cover all your needs.
