Title: Bose 321 GS Home Theater
Post by: smokydays on December 26, 2007, 03:54:09 PM
My lovely wife (bless her heart) thought she was doing good when she bought me a suprise for Christmas: a Bose 321 GS Home Theater System.

I personally have always thought of Bose as alot of smoke and mirrors.  I like to know real specs of stuff that I buy (which is very rarely i might add).  I feel that this system is just a glorified dvd player.  Am I looking at this wrong?  She could tell that i wasn't thrilled with it and told me I could take it back.  Any thoughts?

If it were me I'd take it back, as long as I knew the wife wouldn't mind.  Do you have a home theater setup now?  You could get a nice setup for $900, and if you already have something you could get a kick-ass upgrade as well. ;)

No actually dont have anything home theater related now.  Yeah i am definately gonna take it back.  Any suggestions on some decent home theater setups around this price range?  I have an old Technics system from the early 80's, supposedly "New Class A" amp, tape decks, tuner, eq, disc changer, all are components.  This has been in the closet cause aforementioned wife hates the huge cabinet speakers that came with it.  I was kindof wanting to use some of those components in the system if i could.  Anything greatly appreciated.

No actually i still have it in the box and was wanting to get some opinions of it before either opening it or taking it back.  I know i should trust my own ears and if it wasnt a bose system i would.  But i have always thought of bose with a negative connetation...  :-\

I might need to make a trip to best buy to hear it firsthand.
