Customer Review

Hello everybody,
I have to take up the cudgels for BOSE times here.
even if the other two are reviews of this product is positive, there are always straight in "professional" fora harsh criticism.

there is not recommended Bose rigorously and I have let myself be guided only by the vote in some cases very negative.
We're talking about bad sound to mediocre at exorbitant prices.

Bose is known only thanks to the marketing so possessed and in the crowd a good reputation, which is not justified, as the hobby experts.

but I was looking for something in the price range 500-700 EUR and wanted for practical reasons no 5.1 system.
reasons design came to me no self-compiled system of 2 shelf-LS, sub and AVR in question.

so it should be a finished 2.1 set, ideally with Blu-ray player and Bluetooth.
Some systems have then tried in the last few months at home and listening test that my selection criteria sometimes more, sometimes less have complied.

there probably are other perhaps I may be in a similar situation one or the other a little help with my past experience.

first at home, I had the package of

harman / kardon BDS 330:

visually great, even if the amplifier and Blu-ray player in one device acts a bit clunky.
Unfortunately sound was not as good as I expected for EUR 600.
But the decisive point for the return was unfortunately abysmal handling of the system.
the OSD settings menu can not call look at television, this needs to be changed only the source.
total is then the whole operation is very sluggish and to move in the menu took me personally too long.
In addition, the system does not automatically shut with a, if you have the television turned on.
with the HK FB had this not be turned on and each time the TV set is switched to HK.

Next, I had the package of Philips in action

Philips HTB7250D / 12

More than 100 EUR cheaper than the system of harman / kardon, yet they offered a brilliant sound for my ears (!)
even built bluetooth receiver, so actually everything on board what I needed.
Nevertheless, this investment had barbs that moved me to you with a heavy heart to return again.

Point Style: unfortunately the glass feet of LS are different than on the product image is not transparent / white but transparent / greenish-turquoise. and also the silver-gray stripes with the Philips logo on the LS therefore had a slightly different hue the silver gray of the Blu-ray player. (I'm not fussy, on this point I would also be able to see across) but to then gets even my girlfriend, the Blu-ray player was ugly and said he looked like a nintendo 64 -D
so she then gave me the joy of design completely broken ...

really disturbing but then have the operation. The display on the player can be seen from the top only in the stand. from the couch no chance.
moreover, did not have the remote control selection keys of different sources. you had to press a button and jump as from source to source to one example eventually. arrived in bluetooth.
during which then can not go on TV of course.
(If you read my novel here, could I determine my sitting the whole day at home on the couch, watching RTL 2 and pay the investment thanks to a 0% financing from ALG II -D ... but just the opposite is the case, I'm only in the evening from work to home and do not have much time to watch TV. That's why I want to be a system that works quickly and easily and not only "hours" settings or impractical instructions required)
even if the package can be TV and 2.1 system does not operate from a FB.

3. as candidates in alliance I had

Onkyo LS3100

To make it short: top design, music sound indescribably good!
aaaaber unfortunately have with me the lousy volume fluctuations while watching TV set (as they are also often described in the reviews to the article)
so makes TV look -LEIDER- no fun, because the waitress was fantastically easy and bluetooth built in.
LS control through the TV thanks to the optical cable no problem.

really a shame because for just over 200 and a separate Blu-ray player for 80 you could here a really cheap 2.1 system.

we come to the last contender when I had my hopes for a "perfect" system almost given to above price range:

CineMate Bose GS and with Phlilips Blu-Ray player to the two table tripods

short first: I had the system definitely try that combination package there just before Christmas at Saturn for (compared) enormously favorable 549 EUR (!)

the design of the small LS on the tripod is perfect for my taste, really stylish and not take up much space.
Blu-ray players with this and a universal remote control that can basically everything! the TV from now I do not need more.
operation is simple and the sound is also amazing!
my girlfriend here for once not fault it: -D
The only downer is smaller: no integrated bluetooth .. but who or what is already perfect?
but also the "problem" I have not, thanks to a Bluetooth receiver for audio systems :-)

while looking tv, there are no dropouts, film is sounded great, musical sound I find even better :-)
I finally found the right have now for me and that too at an unbeatable price, I keep the system and am very satisfied!

and again at the beginning of return with respect to the Bose negative vote. may be that the sound components can possibly be even better by single "correct" HiFi, but design and usability 80s are also important factors, and as such can microwave wide receiver incl. design real pack. and even if the mechanical components of Bose in value terms does not justify the price, so still comes out a super sound. let but the marketing people do their job and "fooled poor people".
500 EUR are a lot of money and that's why you should also as much information and not go any marketing claims on the glue.

in this sense!
