 Excellent Sound, Easy Set-up (sort of) |
| Review Date: April 14, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Bill, New York |
| I am very pleased with the sound quality of the Bose Cinemate 2.1 system. The key to gettting the best sound quality is to follow the instructions and disable you TV's speakers, and set the audio output to 'fixed.' Prior to doing that the bass seemed very low. As soon as I made that change, WOW! what a system. I suspect others who have given the system a low rating may have not had the system set up properly. While you can set it up easily with just a few connections, it it important to adjust your TV's audio to ensure you are hearing that unparalled Bose sound. |

I own one of these. I also own a Victorian era house. I am NOT eager to bore holes all over the place to have a 5 or more speaker system. I purchased this system because I like the fact that the 3 speakers with this system are pretty potent. I will say that at lower volume levels, the system is not better than the factory speakers on my TV. However, when you watch a movie like "Gladiator", "Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars", etc, and turn the sound up to Movie theater levels, the system shines VERY well considering that it uses only 3 speakers. Speech is clear even in loud segments with a great deal of music and explosions. The remote control drives everything I have in the cabinet and is ergonomic. Set up was insanely easy. I do agree with one of the previous reviewers about the speaker cable length. It could stand to be at least 5' longer.
Another reason that I bought this system was the fact that I have many friends with various Bose products. None of them have ever complained about anything, except for the Acoustimas Wave Radio eating batteries. Contary to what another reviewer wrote, when you close your eyes you CANNOT TELL where the Acoustimas Module is. It sounds like its everywhere in the room.
For a person that rents movies every now and then, this system will serve it's purpose. I simply don't watch enough movies to merit a massive system. I'm happy with what I've got, and would buy another Bose to replace this one if it failed. My inlaws have a Alpine surround sound system with 5 speakers. This Bose performs equal to the Alpine, but cost less and is much easier to control. |
Perfect for Family Room

| Recently purchased the Cinemate system to improve sound quality for my new SONY HD TV in our family room which has very good picture but very poor sound. Cinemate is extremely easy to set up and will provide much better sound than most TV speakers. Improved clarity in the speaking parts and much richer musical aspects and effects. Enough bass for family room viewing. It is NOT going to be the equivalent of a media room type system and I don't think it is intended to be. When I want to blast the plaster I go upstairs to that room. It is the perfect system for a multi use room where one member of the family does not want wires, cords and equipment showing all over the place but someone else wants better than average sound. Keeping in mind this sets up about like and as easy as a PC based speaker system and produces nice sound with NO receiver I was impressed. If you buy it for what it is designed to do...there is nothing else like it on the market. |
Great if you Know what you are doing

| Spouse hooked it up of course without reading all the directions...sound wasn't great but just before I was to pack it up and return it, I called Bose and found out my husband did not (1) turn up the volume on the tv remote and then (2) put the tv on internal mute. Therefore the amp in the tv wasn't working right causing the Bose stuff to pull all it could without a properly functioning amp. Well the Bose crew helped me fix that and now this system ROCKS!!!!!!! It is just as good as the 321 Bose sysyem now. We moved that one to another room so the Cinemate was replacing it...it is really cool now so think about calling Bose if you don't think you are getting what you paid for...they were great. |
Proper setup is key!!!!!!!

Most important!!!! Mute your internal TV volumn, BUT, you must then crank it up so as to maximize the TV amplifier's potential. It went from a 3 star system to easilly a 5 star system once i set it up properly!!! If all else fails and take 10 minutes to call Bose and they will help solve any minor detail you may have missed!! It compliments my 42" LG plasma beautifully and it blows away the internal speakers.
It's an awesome system that i will recommend to any friend who wants quality sound without breaking the bank and running wires everywhere. |
