erm....hang on .......there must be........ok....the wife won't complain about the size of the Jewel Cubes....
However, she will moan about the big clumsy plastic Acoustimass box stuffed in the corner!
Poor build, shocking quality, over priced, limited performance.
Bose Lifestyle 12 Review - Bose blow! I have heard many acoustimass speakers and LifeStyle systems, had the demos and unfortunately in a previous job installed numerous Bose home cinema systems, even after advising customers against them! Some people will never learn!
Never had an installation without some sort of faulty kit, awkward to set the truly limited multi room side up. Plastic, gimmicky, over priced, over marketed junk! Shocking build quality and the DVD quality beggers belief!
Sound is terrible, boomy, false bass through the Acoustimass unit and overly bright treble from the plastic Jewel Cubes, and a big hole where the mid range should be.
It says it all when they market a really low dynamic range as a plus feature! That ' s the difference in volume in a movie between the quietest sound (wind in the background or talking) and the loudest sound (a big explosion). In real cinema and proper Dolby Digital the dynamic range is set to maximum to achieve a lifelike cinematic experience. How many times have you heard a building explode at the same volume that you talk??!! With the Bose you have no choice!
You can achieve much superior results with proper hi-fi at a fraction of the price! I ' m sorry but if you love Bose you are deaf, know no better or just plain dead inside!
Phew! I feel better now!
